Key Components and Specifications: |
||
|
– |
Ballasted Systems: |
|
|
|
The most common type for flat roofs, these systems use weights (ballasts) to anchor the mounting structure and solar panels, |
|
|
– |
Tilt and Orientation: |
|
|
|
Systems can be designed for various tilt angles (e.g., 10-15°, 15-30°, or 30-60°) to optimize solar energy capture. They can |
|
|
– |
Materials: |
|
|
|
Common materials include aluminum, stainless steel (SUS304), and hot-dip galvanized steel (Q235B, Q355B). |
|
|
– |
Wind and Snow Load: |
|
|
|
The system should be designed to withstand specific wind speeds (e.g., <50m/s) and snow loads (e.g., <1.2KN/m²). |
|
|
– |
Module Compatibility: |
|
|
|
Systems are designed to accommodate standard framed and unframed solar panels. |
|
|
– |
Installation: |
|
|
|
Installation should minimize on-site machining and ensure proper drainage of the roof. |
|
|
– |
Warranty: |
|
|
|
Manufacturers typically offer warranties on both the mounting system (e.g., 10-year manufacturer’s warranty) and the service life (e.g., 20-year service life). |
|
|
– |
Safety and Compliance: |
|
|
|
Systems should be designed to integrate with lightning protection and equipotential bonding systems. |
|

|
|
Important Considerations: |
||
|
– |
Roof Type and Condition: |
|
|
|
Ensure the roof is suitable for the chosen mounting system (e.g., pressure-resistant, suitable slope). |
|
|
– |
Local Regulations: |
|
|
|
Consult local building codes and regulations regarding solar panel installations. |
|
|
– |
Professional Installation: |
|
|
|
Flat roof solar panel installations should be done by qualified professionals. |
