Roof Mounted Solar Panel Tracking System

Wattsun only recommended for large scale commercial installs a solar panel mount or solar racking system is the foundation that holds your solar array in place.

Roof mounted solar panel tracking system.

A tall pole mounted system couldn t work on a roof. It s important to choose high quality components for a long lasting weatherproof installation. Solar panel mounting and tracking systems come in a variety of different options and work to make your solar panel array as effective and efficient as possible. The red line represents a fixed roof mount system south facing at a 30 tilt.

Mounts are used to attach solar panels to the roof ground or another surface on your property. Traditional ground mounted dual axis tracker s attach tables of panels on a pole many feet off the ground. It couldn t support the weight or wind loads. Ideally in order to ensure your panels are receiving as much sunlight as possible sunlight must be perpendicular to your panels.

Most grid tied systems use the flush roof mounted arrangement while off grid systems usually use a roof ground mount or tracker that allows for seasonal tilt angle adjustment to provide maximum solar production throughout the year. Our star trackers are transparent architecturally pleasing bifacial tracking technology engineered for safety strength and increased production. A solar tracking system maximizes your solar system s electricity production by moving your panels to follow the sun throughout the day which optimizes the angle at which your panels receive solar radiation. Roof mount solar racking systems a roof mount is a great option if your roof is sun exposed and in good condition.

You ll need flashings clamps or tile hooks to attach the racks to your rooftop. Mounting options fall into the main categories below. Solar trackers are typically used for ground mounted solar panels and large free standing solar installations like solar trees. Gm industries inc s approach is to provide the highest yielding photovoltaic pv system available anywhere a solar system with dual axis tracking rather than a fixed array system or bleacher mounts and roof mounted panels.

The black line represents an allearth dual axis solar tracker. While the fixed system never reaches maximum power the tracker maintains full power output throughout most of the day from dawn to dusk a significant increase in production over the roof mount system. Reducing the pv booster s support to one single panel helped lessen weight but a new pivoting tracking solution was necessary.
