Roof Mounted Solar Tracking System

Ideally in order to ensure your panels are receiving as much sunlight as possible sunlight must be perpendicular to your panels.

Roof mounted solar tracking system.

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. It couldn t support the weight or wind loads. 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. Racking and mounting products for all roof top ground mount and solar tracker pv arrays.

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. 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. Traditional ground mounted dual axis tracker s attach tables of panels on a pole many feet off the ground. Mounts are used to attach solar panels to the roof ground or another surface on your property.

A tall pole mounted system couldn t work on a roof. 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. It s important to choose high quality components for a long lasting weatherproof installation. Solar trackers are typically used for ground mounted solar panels and large free standing solar installations like solar trees.

The red line represents a fixed roof mount system south facing at a 30 tilt. The black line represents an allearth dual axis solar tracker. With proper installation a sturdy mount secures your panels in harsh weather and protects your investment. You ll need flashings clamps or tile hooks to attach the racks to your rooftop.

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. They are typically not used in most residential solar projects but have a place in the utility scale and commercial industrial solar market. Our large assortment of solar racking and mounting components can be uniquely fitted for any type of solar energy system. Reducing the pv booster s support to one single panel helped lessen weight but a new pivoting tracking solution was necessary.
