What is a photovoltaic mounting system?

Photovoltaic mounting systems (also called solar module racking) are used to fix solar panels on surfaces like roofs, building facades, or the ground. [ 1 ] These mounting systems generally enable retrofitting of solar panels on roofs or as part of the structure of the building (called BIPV). [ 2 ]

The sun approach angle for most installations will be 17 degrees. The row spacing for this system is 21.97 inches (module to module).

Can a solar array be mounted on a rooftop?

The solar array of a PV system can be mounted on rooftops, generally with a few inches gap and parallel to the surface of the roof. If the rooftop is horizontal, the array is mounted with each panel aligned at an angle.
