Installation tutorial of photovoltaic panels in factories

Can a solar PV system be installed on a factory roof?

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.

Can a PV system be installed on a house?

PV is very modular. You can install as small or as large a PV system as you need. Example: One can install a PV module on each classroom for lighting, put PV power at a gate to run the motorized gate-opener, put PV power on a light pole for street lighting, or put a PV system on a house or building and supply as much energy as wanted.

Can I install solar panels myself?

How do you install solar panels on a roof?

Start with a solid foundation, which is essential to add solar panels to a roof or a ground platform. For roof installation, lag bolts are attached to the rafters, and a piece of flashing is used on top of the shingles to prevent leaks. The flashing slides under the shingle wherever a lag bolt installation occurs.

When can new PV modules be added?

New PV modules can be added at any time. Photovoltaic (photo = light; voltaic = produces voltage) or PV systems convert light directly into electricity using semi-conductor technology. (@ 10% efficiency) Thermal systems (hot water, pool heaters) produce heat from the sun’s radiation (@ +40 % efficiency) Large difference in value of energy types.
