What’s the Best Angle for Solar Panels?
The slope of your roof is a significant element in maximizing your energy production. The best angle will vary depending on where you live because it is calculated based on the average positioning of the sun over your property. When your rooftop solar is installed it will be angled to face as close to the sun as possible at an angle that is close or equal to the latitude of your home. Our team of in-house engineers will determine the best angle for your solar system to generate the most power out of your system.
Why Roof Material Matters
While solar panels can be installed on a majority of roofing materials, there are certain roofing materials that are more difficult to install solar panels on. Businesses that have roofs made out of wood, metal, cement, tile, and gravel are perfect candidates for solar panels. However, roofs that are made out of cedar, clay, and slate are known to break during solar installation. If a rooftop system is not an option for your commercial building, take a look at some of our other various options for installation.
Is My Roof Too Shaded for Solar Panels?
In order for you to get the most out of your solar panels, you want to make sure your solar panels have enough direct exposure to the sun. If your roof is blocked by trees or other buildings, this can greatly reduce the amount of energy your solar panels are producing.
