Technical FAQs 4

How to choose a solar roof?

Solar rooftop panels are installed using solar mounts. Identifying the area for solar panel installation helps determine how many solar mounts you need. Also, while identifying the total rooftop area, you can specify the extent of shade-free area. Ascertain the endurance capacity of the roof, as the solar panels are bound to weigh heavy on it.

Do I need a structural assessment before installing solar panels?

Before mounting solar panels, your roof must undergo a thorough structural assessment. Solar panels and mounting equipment add approximately 3-4 pounds per square foot of additional load to your roof structure. Key evaluation factors include: If your roof needs replacement, complete this work before solar installation.

How to install solar panels on the roof?

Here is a stepwise description of how to install solar panels on the roof: Solar rooftop panels are installed using solar mounts. Identifying the area for solar panel installation helps determine how many solar mounts you need. Also, while identifying the total rooftop area, you can specify the extent of shade-free area.

What is a solar energy Bess system?

A Solar Energy BESS system combines solar panels, batteries, and other components to generate, store, and manage electricity. In simple terms, it captures solar energy when it is abundant, stores it in batteries, and provides a steady power supply whenever needed.
