Commercial Rooftop Solar
There are significant benefits to be had from investing in solar energy, for businesses both industrial, large and small. With rising energy costs, putting your roof space to good use can be a sensible decision. Many commercial organisations have already realised the huge potential income stream available from solar energy. Simply by utilising the roof space on your commercial premises, agricultural buildings, factories, warehouses, schools or hospitals, you can install solar power generators and start generating solar energy
Why Harness Solar Energy For Your Factory Roof?
The roofs of factories are often the ideal place to install a solar panel. 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.
What Are the Benefits of Solar PV for Warehouses?
As energy efficiency rises to the top of the agenda for warehouse and logistics firms, more and more are seeing the benefits of solar PV. Installing solar PV on warehouse roofs means generating free electricity for the warehouse and adjacent buildings, such as offices.
Warehouse and logistics firms can significantly reduce their energy bills with a solar PV system. Energy bills are typically responsible for around 15% of operating costs in a warehouse facility, due to temperature control systems and lighting. By adding solar panels, which generate their own free electricity, these energy bills can be substantially reduced.
Roof Mounting Structures
For commercial solar PV systems, there are generally three types of roof mounting options and the solution is dependent on the type of roof. In all cases, considerations must be made for the roof’s age, structural integrity, access to equipment, and necessary setbacks for fire and life safety requirements.
Tile Roof
Installing solar on a pitched tile roof generally requires the use of special flashing attachments to mechanically attach the solar array to the roof structure under the tiles. It is most common for solar modules to be mounted flush with the slope of the existing tile roof.
Standing Seam
Installing solar on a standing seam (tin) roof typically results in the lowest installed cost per watt, as the racking system for a standing seam roof is the least expensive. The racking systems typically used for standing seam roofs do not penetrate the roof but rather use a special clamp that secures the solar array by attaching to the roof seam. Solar panels can either be mounted flush with the slope of the roof or installed at a higher pitch. The higher pitch increases production but can also increase cost and will require spacing between rows.
Flat Roof
Roofs that are flat with a slope less than 7 degrees are commonly able to utilize a ballasted racking system. This ballasted roof mount system does not generally require roof penetrations and will add roughly 3-7 PSF of weight to the roof. In areas where the roof cannot structurally support this added weight, mechanical attachments can be used. With this type of system, the solar modules are typically installed with a pitch of 5, 10, and 15 degrees.
The perfect combination: Solar Carport and EV-Charging!
Solar batteries are large energy storage units typically found outside a building that charge up during sunny periods if linked up to a solar PV system, or during the night from the grid if there are low energy demands.
The batteries’ Dynamic Firm Frequency Response (DFFR) will monitor and discharge the stored energy. The solar batteries themselves are made up of rechargeable cells, stored in smaller battery packs within the units. Combining a battery with commercial solar panels for your business can help revolutionise your organisation’s energy management and carbon savings.
Battery storage can be used to:
-
-
- Reinforce or reduce your electrical requirements
- Generate revenue by offering grid services
- Provide backup power
- Capture excess exported energy from solar
- In some cases, provide Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS).
