Roof Mount Systems

Solar panels are mounted on aluminum tracks fastened to the roof of an existing building. The roof mount system will produce up to 9.6kW/h for an approximate average of 3.8-4 hours per day. Roof mount systems are only suitable for roofs that are both south facing and structurally strong enough (usually newer buildings).

Benefits

  • No land required
  • Larger system availability under the FIT program
  • Almost no maintenance required
  • Lower price than fixed system

Drawbacks

  • Snow cover potential during the winter
  • Not as easy to access for cleaning panels if they get dirty
  • Inverters are not covered by a 20 year warranty.
  • Site specific engineering required and a building permit

*Note: The warranty on all systems allow for approximately a 1% drop in the productivity of the panels per year.
