Benefits with an On-Roof solar system

In a nutshell:
  • Lower Investment Costs
  • High Power Output
  • Some other Shit
  • Cuz we Say so

On-roof installations is by far the most common type of solar installation in Switzerland to date. It’s cost effective and provides benefits for performance through ventilation around the back of the panels. There are essentially two types of on-roof solar systems: for sloped roofs and for flat roofs.

Sloped roofs could have a number of different materials such as tiles, Eternit, tin, and some other, less common types. Almost all roofs, regardless of rooftop material, can serve as a base for a solar system. The same can be said for flat roofs. These also have some different types of coverage such as moss/grass, gravel, and tin, which all serve as good surfaces for a solar system.

Regardless of which type of roof you have, the on-roof solar system always have the same components: solar panels, inverter, mounting system, and connections to the house electric distribution system.

Flat roof installations

A flat roof essentially offers two ways of installing solar panels. One where the panels are facing south, a so called S-Dome, and one where the panels are facing east-and west. Both systems follow the same principle, though. The panels are fastened on rails that are anchored to the roof with ballast weights. Note that a flat roof installation never involves any drilling in the roof itself. In rare cases the panel rails can be secured in the roof frame for extra protection against wind. The video shows the principles of a typical S-Dome flat roof installation with the K2 mounting system.

Pitched roof installation

A pitched roof comes in more shapes and forms than a flat roof. The panels could be fastened with bolts in the roof rafters, which is the most common way for roofs with tiles or fiber cement plates. They can also be put in place with clamps that are screwed onto the folds between the sheets in a tin roof. The video shows one of the most common mounting solutions that is used for roofs with tile covering.
