2. Roof-integrated panels

On new buildings or when a house is being reroofed, you may prefer a roof-integrated solar PV system. The type of roof fixing will depend on your choice of solar PV system. Roof-integrated panels can be supported on frames fixed directly to the rafters and integrated into the rest of the roof using a flashing kit to keep the roof waterproof.

Operation of photovoltaic power plant

The solar PV plant works properly if all individual parts (being photovoltaic panels, optimizers, inverter, fuse elements and possibly a smart meter) are connected. That’s why it is important that an installation of the photovoltaic power plant is provided by a professional company and by installers with sufficient experience. In this case, you will avoid possible malfunctions of the device in the future.

 

REMEMBER: A shingle roof is certainly suitable for this investment but don’t underestimate the importance of a correct installation!
