Solar Panels on a Flat Roof?

Solar Panels can be installed on a flat roof

Do you want to install solar PV panels but don?t have a suitable sloping roof? Why not look at the flat roof options?

EnergyMyWay have been installing low angle solar panel systems on flat roofs, which are often unseen from adjacent properties because of the low support system.

Unlike sloping roofs, the solar panels can be orientated to face an optimum southerly direction or, if that is not possible, it may be advantageous to install a compact East/West array which collects sunlight from dawn to dusk.

Your local EnergyMyWay consultant can give you the best advice on the most suitable system for your property.
