Flat Roof Orientation

An optimum tilt angle and orientation of your solar panels on a flat roof will ensure top energy production performance of your system.

Flat roof orientation. From the outset a building is deemed elementally minimalist based on its elongated form and perfectly linear roof. Architects are still attracted to the elegance that flat roofs bring to a piece of architecture and for good reason. Both versions the system s for the traditional south facing orientation and the ew variant for maximum east west coverage deliver outstanding economy. An easy way to determine the direction that your roof faces is to use google maps.

No alteration must be higher than the existing roof. Side facing windows must be obscure glazed with any opening to be made 1 7 m above the floor. Just enough slope to drain water but also flat enough to be a problem if not constructed properly. Solar panels are most effective when installed on south facing roofs.

Only top manufacturers give warranties on panels installed at an angle of fewer than two degrees. The direction that your roof faces also referred to as the azimuth angle is the primary factor determining how much sunshine your solar panels will see over the course of the day. Of course flat roofs are not flat but have a very slight roof pitch of between 1 4 to 1 2 per foot.
