Technical FAQs 4

Can solar panels be installed on a factory roof?

The roofs of factories are often the ideal place to install solar panels. As factories are energy-intensive buildings, installing a solar PV system on the roof of a factory ensures free power can be generated to run everything underneath it.

How do solar panels work on a factory roof?

Sunlight Absorption Solar panels on the factory roof capture sunlight. Through the photovoltaic effect, solar cells convert light into direct current (DC) electricity. DC Generation This raw DC power is collected and channeled via cables into the inverter system. The energy output depends on the sunlight intensity and panel efficiency.

Can a factory use rooftop solar?

A standard solar system for factories can range from 100 kW to several megawatts, depending on the site’s connected load and power usage patterns. Key areas where rooftop solar for manufacturing units prove effective include running energy-intensive machines like chillers, air compressors, furnaces, extrusion lines, and injection molding systems.

Can solar PV be installed on warehouse roofs?

Installing solar PV on warehouse roofs means generating free electricity for the warehouse and adjacent buildings, such as offices. Warehouse and logistics firms can significantly reduce their energy bills with a solar PV system.
