Solar Rooftop Overview



Solar rooftop systems, also known as rooftop solar PV systems, consist of solar panels mounted on rooftops to capture sunlight. The panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity through photovoltaic cells, which is then converted into alternating current (AC) electricity using inverters. This electricity can be used onsite or exported to the grid.

Components



1

Solar Panels

  • Made up of interconnected solar cells that generate electricity when exposed to sunlight. Panels are typically mounted on the rooftop facing south to maximize sun exposure
2

Inverters

  • Convert DC electricity generated by solar panels into usable AC electricity for appliances and electrical systems within the building.
3

Mounting Structures

  • Support systems that secure solar panels to the rooftop at an optimal angle and orientation for sunlight absorption.
4

Metering and Monitoring Equipment

  • Measures electricity production, consumption, and export/import to/from the grid, providing insights into system performance and energy savings.
5

Multiple Flashing Patterns

  • Offer different flashing modes (e.g., steady-on, flashing, alternating) to suit specific application requirements and enhance visibility based on ambient light conditions.
