Photovoltaic support installation on factory roof

Can a solar PV system be installed on a factory roof?

As factories are energy-intensive buildings, installing a solar PV system on the roof of a factory ensures free power can be generated to run everything underneath it. While reducing energy costs, a solar PV installation has the added benefit of demonstrating Corporate Social Responsibility thanks to its environmental credentials.

Why should you install solar power on your warehouse or factory roof?

Solar power is a clean energy alternative that helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. It’s also a renewable energy source, so it will never run out. Installing solar on your warehouse or factory roof demonstrates corporate social responsibility and lowers your carbon footprint.

Can a roof handle a solar system?

In the vast majority of solar installations, let's say 95%, the existing roof can adequately handle the additional weight of the roof-mounted solar system. However, we need to be sure your roof falls within that 95%.

Can solar panels be installed on a warehouse roof?

Solar panels are also less susceptible to damage from wear and tear because they do not have any moving parts. As a result, you can expect little to no repairs. A typical warehouse or factory roof is the perfect landscape for a solar system. These roofs are usually large and flat with ample room for solar panel installation.

Can a factory install a solar system?

To bring these energy costs down, many companies harness the power of renewable energy by adding solar panels to their factory and warehouse roofs. Installing a solar system for your factory allows these facilities to produce their own power on-site for free.

Do solar panels need roof reinforcements?

Roof reinforcements may be necessary for some installations, depending on factors such as the roof's strength, the weight of the solar system, and local building code requirements. A structural engineer can evaluate the roof's condition and determine whether reinforcements are needed to support the additional load of the solar panels.
