These systems consist of solar panels installed on the rooftops of buildings or other structures, converting sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. One of the primary advantages of rooftop solar systems is their ability to generate clean and renewable energy directly at the point of consumption.
The larger the surface area required to support the PV system, the greater the potential impact on the building structure. The use of rooftop solar panels increases the superimposed dead load (SDL) of the roofing system and can have varying impact on a building depending on what material is being used for the structural system.
To host a solar PV system, a roof must be able to support the weight of PV equipment—generally between three and six pounds per square foot. At the time of building construction, minimizing the amount of non-solar rooftop equipment will maximize the available area for installing a solar PV system in the future.
The first step in installing a rooftop solar system is to assess the feasibility of your location. Factors such as the amount of sunlight your roof receives, local regulations, and potential obstacles need to be considered. A professional solar installer can conduct a site assessment to determine the optimal placement and size of your solar array.
One of the primary advantages of rooftop solar systems is their ability to generate clean and renewable energy directly at the point of consumption. By utilizing available rooftop space, these systems reduce dependence on traditional grid-based electricity, mitigating the environmental impact associated with fossil fuel-based power generation.
As of date (March 2014) the capital subsidy for rooftop solar PV systems is 30% of the benchmark cost or 30% of the actual cost, whichever is less. The up-to-date
