Questions to Ask:
It's essential to ask the following questions to your commercial roofing partner before the solar panel installation:
• How much will the equipment weigh?
• Does my roof need to be reinforced to accommodate the added weight?
• How will the panels be secured to the roof?
• Will the mounting increase the likelihood that my commercial roof will develop leaks in the future?
• Will the increased foot traffic on my roof cause damage?
• Do I need to notify my insurance company before the installation begins?
Plan and Coordinate with Your Commercial Roofing Partner:
Once you have evaluated the condition of the roof and asked the necessary questions, it's time to plan and coordinate with your commercial roofing partner. Discuss the installation process and timeline, so you understand what to expect during installation. Your commercial roofing partner can help plan and coordinate the installation to make sure it doesn't interfere with your business operations.
Proper Maintenance and Solar Panel Upkeep:
After the installation, it’s essential to keep up with proper maintenance and solar panel upkeep. Your commercial roofing partner can help you determine when it’s time for maintenance and ensure the solar panels are functioning correctly. They can also help with any necessary repairs to the roof or solar panels to ensure they are performing at optimum levels.
