Solar panel installation is not just an electrical decision. It also depends on roof condition, waterproofing, structure, shade and safe access.
Check roof condition first
If the roof has leakage or weak waterproofing, solve that before mounting solar panels. Repairing leakage after installation can become more difficult.
Shade and direction
Nearby buildings, tanks, parapet walls and trees can reduce output. The layout should consider shade through the day.
Structural and electrical planning
- Mounting strength and wind exposure
- Safe cable routing
- Earthing and protection
- Access for cleaning and maintenance
- Coordination with existing roof use
Before installing solar: Inspect waterproofing and roof surface condition so the system does not hide future problems.
