Flat roof solar panels operate on the same fundamental principles as pitched roof systems, with the key difference being their installation on a flat surface using a mounted frame. This setup allows for optimal positioning and flexibility in placement. Additionally, flat roof systems offer two main installation options: mechanically fixed and ballast-fixed systems. Mechanically fixed systems are securely attached to the roof structure, while ballast-fixed systems rely on weighted materials to hold the panels in place, offering a less invasive installation method. Both options provide reliable, efficient energy generation tailored to your roof type and specific needs.
