HOME / Waterproof requirements for photovoltaic panels installed on roof - CAPTURED ENERGY SOLAR (PTY) LTDFigure 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.
Before mounting solar panels, your roof must undergo a thorough structural assessment. Solar panels and mounting equipment add approximately 3-4 pounds per square foot of additional load to your roof structure. Key evaluation factors include: If your roof needs replacement, complete this work before solar installation.
Most types of roof have been used with a PV system at some time. The overall construction must be capable of taking the additional load of the PV (or indeed survive the additional uplift when the PV replaces a much heavier roof surface such as concrete tiles).
