Industrial Rooftop Solar: Planning Considerations
The roof, the load and the operations: what to review before planning a factory rooftop system.
Start with the roof
Roof type, age, condition and structural capacity determine what can be installed and how. Sheet roofs, RCC roofs and roofs with skylights each call for different mounting approaches.
Understand the load
Reviewing electricity bills and operating hours shows how much daytime energy a facility uses, which guides system sizing.
Plan around operations
Access routes, safety walkways and installation sequencing should be planned so that plant operations continue with minimal disruption.
