Frequently Asked Questions about Commercial Solar and Roofing

Get answers to frequently asked questions (FAQ) Solar & Roofing Services

What are Roof Solar Panels?

Rooftop solar energy refers to the technology that captures energy from the sun and converts it into usable electricity. This technology involves the installation of photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roof of a building. The solar panels capture the sun's energy and convert it into DC (Direct Current) electricity. An inverter then converts this DC electricity into AC (Alternating Current) electricity that can be used to power electrical appliances, lighting, and equipment in the building.

How do Rooftop Panels Work?

Solar panels are typically made up of silicon cells that convert sunlight into electricity. When sunlight hits the cells, it creates an electric field that causes electrons to move, generating a flow of electricity. This electricity is then sent to an inverter, which converts it into usable electricity that can be used in the building.

What are the Benefits of Commercial Rooftops Solar?

Rooftop solar energy is an excellent investment for commercial property owners. It provides numerous benefits, including cost savings, environmental benefits, increased property value, and reduced reliance on the grid. If you're a commercial property owner looking to reduce your energy bills, decrease your carbon footprint, and increase your property's value, consider installing rooftop solar panels.

What is the meaning of O&M?

Operations and Maintenance (O&M) for rooftop solar refers to the ongoing upkeep and management of a rooftop solar system to ensure its optimal performance and longevity. It includes regular monitoring, inspection, and maintenance of the solar panels, electrical components, and other system components to ensure that the system is functioning at its best capacity.
