Technical FAQs 4

What is a solar type roof?

This design not only maximizes energy efficiency but also enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of a property. Unlike traditional solar panel installations that sit on top of existing roofs, solar type roof designs incorporate solar technology directly into the roofing material itself.

Why should you choose a solar type roof design?

Adopting a solar type roof design offers numerous advantages, including: Energy Independence: With solar panels generating electricity from sunlight, homeowners can reduce their reliance on grid power, leading to lower utility bills and greater energy independence.

What are the characteristics of a solar roof?

There are several roof characteristics that effect how much your solar panels will produce. Here is the top six: Also known as azimuth, orientation is the direction your roof faces. For North American solar systems, the best roof design for solar panels is one with a large, unshaded south face (an azimuth of 180 degrees).

Does roof design increase solar panel efficiency?

Proper roof design can increase solar panel efficiency by up to 30%. Factors like angle, orientation, and structural features directly affect sunlight exposure and energy production.
