Roof Mounted Solar Tracking System

Solar trackers are typically used for ground mounted solar panels and large free standing solar installations like solar trees.

Roof mounted solar tracking system.

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. 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. The black line represents an allearth dual axis solar tracker. It couldn t support the weight or wind loads.

Ideally in order to ensure your panels are receiving as much sunlight as possible sunlight must be perpendicular to your panels. Traditional ground mounted dual axis tracker s attach tables of panels on a pole many feet off the ground. The red line represents a fixed roof mount system south facing at a 30 tilt. Roof mount solar racking systems a roof mount is a great option if your roof is sun exposed and in good condition.

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. Mounts are used to attach solar panels to the roof ground or another surface on your property. With proper installation a sturdy mount secures your panels in harsh weather and protects your investment.

They are typically not used in most residential solar projects but have a place in the utility scale and commercial industrial solar market. 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. Our large assortment of solar racking and mounting components can be uniquely fitted for any type of solar energy system. 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.

Racking and mounting products for all roof top ground mount and solar tracker pv arrays. Reducing the pv booster s support to one single panel helped lessen weight but a new pivoting tracking solution was necessary. 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 s important to choose high quality components for a long lasting weatherproof installation.
