Solar Panels for Shingle Roofs: Maximize Your Energy Savings
Are you considering solar panels for your composite shingle roof? This solar system, designed specifically for shingle roofs, uses advanced DC Optimizers to ensure peak energy output for your home. Each optimizer is installed beneath its corresponding solar module, securely mounted on durable rails.
Why Choose Solar for Shingle Roofs?
Composite shingles are the most common roofing material in the Northeast, making them a perfect match for solar energy systems. Here's how our installation process works:
​
-
Optimized Placement: Three paired rows of rails securely hold the solar modules. The top row has fewer panels to accommodate roof vents near the ridge.
-
Secure Mounting: Flashing feet are bolted into the rafters, ensuring a watertight seal to protect your roof.
-
Grounding for Safety: A green grounding wire connects the entire system for reliable performance.
-
Smart Wiring: Wires are carefully clamped to the rails to prevent wear and tear on your shingles.
