WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF THE ROOF IS TOO SMALL FOR SOLAR PANELS?

18.10.2024

In one of the articles, we considered the issue of installing solar panels on different types of roofs. We talked about what to do if you need more panels than you can fit on the roof surface.

Imagine a situation when only half of the required number of solar panels can be placed on the roof of a house. What about the rest?

There could be two solutions:

1. Install the remaining solar panels on the ground. This is a good solution, but you’ll have to sacrifice some space in your backyard, and this is not always acceptable.

2. Install the remaining solar panels on the side of the house. In this case, you won’t need to sacrifice space on the ground, because you use the vertical surface of the walls. Let’s analyze this option further.

The panels are not exactly placed vertically on the facade of the building, as this position is not optimal for energy generation. A supporting structure on the facade consists of special triangles of desired size. They help to place the solar panels at the right angle. The structure is securely attached to the wall, and panels are installed on it. This way the panels get a right angle of inclination and will not take up useful space in the backyard.

In Spain a lot of residential buildings are not suitable for solar panels installation at all, since there are sun parlors on the roof and the owners do not want to lose those. In such cases, all solar panels are installed on the facade of the house. This method is both durable and efficient.
