BlueStar Solar/Blue Star Solar Agents is actively involved in large scale projects across Ontario. Our experience and in-depth knowledge of the Feed-In-Tariff program, we ensure a perfect custom design for your property. The perfect solution for your commercial property will rely on several factors including the roof type – just like our residential systems. Bellow you can find some common roofs that we installed systems on.
Flat Roofs:
Commercial and Industrial flat roofs typically require racking to tilt solar panels towards the sun. This opens a window of opportunity for fine tuning the design by implementing a racking system that would generate the maximum sun rays. allows you to design and implement a racking. When installing a flat roof solar system it is equally as important to:
- Know the structural load capacity
- Height of the building and wind profile
- Conditions of the roof.
- Objects that may contribute to shading
- Spacing for yearly maintenance of roof components
- CFD analysis for design optimization
Ballast Mounted:
Ballast systems are usually easy to install and have a lower cost. As long as the roof is in a good condition and can handle the extra weight, a ballast mounted system can be a solution for your property. When a ballast system is mounted at lower angles, it also resists stronger wind speeds if it does become a factor.
Anchored Systems:
Anchored Solar Systems typically are more expensive than ballast systems. For large scale projects, the anchored approach allows the solar system to fine tuned by optimizing the tilt angles for better production. Consult with our representative today to find the right solution for your flat roof
