Can a Solar Systems Be installed onto a Flat Roof?

Russell Chowdhury December 18, 2019 Reviews Leave a Comment

Solar panels are a popular and environmentally friendly addition to modern homes. It is a common misconception that solar panels cannot be installed on flat roofs. This is not true. Solar panels work well on most flat roofs.

Flat-roof solar systems can be used in domestic dwellings but are most often installed on commercial buildings. The solar panels are the same on flat and pitched roofs, and the technology is identical.

There are some special considerations for flat-roof installation. The array needs to be self-cleaning in rainy weather because water will collect on it. An experienced installer will be able to fit the panels in such a way as to make the most of the pitch.

Thin film solar cells can be very useful in this setting. They are more flexible and can be adapted for automatic panels which move as the sun moves across the sky. This ensures that the maximum amount of sunlight is captured and allows you to generate the maximum power for your system.

What Do You Need to Consider Before Installation?

According to the National Federation of Roofing Contractors Limited (NFRC), the UK’s largest roofing trade association, solar PV systems can be fitted to a wide range of flat-roof waterproofing materials.

However, a Flat roofing Evesham company such as https://a-lineroofing.co.uk/  can help with advice about maintenance of the roof prior to installation. You may need to take measures to guard against high winds. It may be necessary to fix panels to the structure or weight may be added.

Are There Benefits to a Flat-Roof Solar System?

There are many advantages to installing solar panels on flat as opposed to pitched roofs. It will be easy to reach the panels for installation and maintenance. It is unlikely that the panels will be visible from street level, so you will be less likely to receive comments from neighbours.

Solar panel installation is one of the less stressful projects that you can carry out in your home. It is uncommon for you to need planning permission, but you should check with your planning department to make sure. There is plenty more information online on government websites.

There are many different types of panel to choose from, and you will benefit from greener and more sustainable energy generation.
