4 FAQs about Design requirements for energy management system of solar container communication station on roof
How much roof space does a solar system need?
would require on the order of 500 square feet of usable roof space (average of 1 kilowatt per 100 square feet) to install the solar panels. However, homes with a higher than average level of energy efficiency, such as those meeting ENERGY STAR® Homes Standards, may not necessitate an average-sized system.
Does this home meet the recommended solar resource potential?
No This home does not meet the recommended solar resource potential per the RERH SSAT results; this location is not a good host for a future solar energy system and should not be made renewable energy ready.
What documents should be included in a solar roof plan?
At a minimum, these documents must include specific documentation of dead loads, live loads, wind loads, and, where applicable, snow loads for the existing roof design. These plans will provide important information for the solar designer when the homeowner decides to install a system.
What is the minimum array area requirement for a solar PV inverter?
Although the RERH specification does not set a minimum array area requirement, builders should minimally specify an area of 50 square feet in order to operate the smallest grid-tied solar PV inverters on the market.
