SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS
ypically installed on flat or sloped roofs or dedicated ground-mounted structures (suc. as carport shades; see Figure 1). They can also be integrated directly into building mate.
The roofs of factories are often the ideal place to install solar panels. 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.
When it comes to mounting solar panels on an industrial roof, there are two main installation methods: rail mounting and rail-less mounting. The choice between them depends on your roof type and structural considerations. Here's a breakdown of each: Rail Mounting Systems This is the most common method, especially on large commercial roofs.
In short, a solar system for factories transforms underused industrial rooftops into active revenue-saving resources, delivering both financial and environmental returns. To fully understand how solar panels work in industry, it's essential to break down the key components of a typical industrial rooftop solar system.
A standard solar system for factories can range from 100 kW to several megawatts, depending on the site's connected load and power usage patterns. Key areas where rooftop solar for manufacturing units prove effective include running energy-intensive machines like chillers, air compressors, furnaces, extrusion lines, and injection molding systems.
