roof mounts
One of the most important benefits of using a roof mounting system for solar panels is its sturdiness and durability. A quality mounting system can provide a secure and stable foundation for your panels, ensuring they remain in place and function efficiently for many years.
What roofs can we install on?
The following roof types are generally suitable for solar — assuming other criteria like pitch, quality, structure, and shading are also suitable.
asphalt or comp shingle
standing metal seam
concrete tile roof
rolled comp roofing
benefits of roof-mounted systems:
Cost Effective: Roof mounted systems is the most cost-effective solution compared to ground mounted systems since its less labor intensive and requires less moving parts during install.
Space Saving: A roof mounted system is ideal for those who has limited property space. This is especially important for those living in urban settings with limited outdoor space.
Secure & Durable: Roof mounted systems are incredibly sturdy and durable. A quality roof mounted system is designed to withstand various weather conditions, including snow, rain, and strong winds (equivalent to a Category 4 Hurricane), so you don’t need to worry about the system becoming unstable or causing any damage.
ground mounts
Not all roofs are great for solar. With a Ground-mounted system, you can choose the orientation of your solar panels to increase energy production. This is a great option for those who don’t want panels on their roof or don’t have enough roof real-estate to install the amount of panels needed to accomplish their usage offset.
benefits of ground-mounted systems:
Efficiency: You have much more control over which direction your panels face and their degree of tilt. Both of these factors make a huge impact on the amount of energy you generate every day.
Visibility: If you have enough property, you may have the option for placing your system far away from you house. This is great for land owners who don’t necessarily want to see their ground-mount on a daily basis.
Access To Your System: A ground-mounted system makes repairing or replacing your solar panels much simpler. Having access to you system on the ground reduces the time needed for solar techs to diagnose problems and makes the process of working on the system much safeter.
