It is possible for photovoltaic systems to replace roof cladding entirely. This is known as a solar or energy roof. Additionally, PV modules can be integrated into the roof cladding. Solar roof tiles are a special type of in-roof installation. They can be integrated into the existing roof cladding without any extra mounting systems.
Figure 1. Fully integrated photovoltaic (PV) roof “RIS.” The solutions that have been proven fall into the following categories: Interlocking panel systems, which either use panels that mimic roofing tiles with the photovoltaic (PV) element embedded in the surface or have a frame bonded to the PV panel which provides the sealing interlock.
The over-roof mounting of PV panels has been the normal practice in many installations. It is simple in concept, and has been proven provided that the attachment through the traditional roof is performed well.
However, these advanced tracking technologies are primarily recommended for large-scale outdoor installations due to their complexity and maintenance requirements. Installing a PV system on a flat roof requires thorough consideration of the roof’s structure and specific mounting requirements.
Although less efficient, wall installations can supplement a photovoltaic system effectively. Balcony-mounted panels are primarily used in residential buildings. Typically, 1–2 panels are installed on the balcony railing. This setup can help reduce energy costs for apartments where roof installation is not feasible.
Wood shake roofs are not suitable for solar panel installation as they are potential fire hazards and present safety issues. Roofing materials made from slate tiles and clay aren’t suitable for solar panel installation due to their fragility, making it challenging for contractors to mount them. Some jurisdictions won’t permit solar panel installation on wood shake roofs.
