Kent Paul Scarborough is a qualified professional who has made capable use of his knowledge and skills to establish many companies in his homeland – Australia. He is a former CEO and Director who can be credited with the success of several organizations in Australia and abroad. He has built a noteworthy profile for himself during his professional journey spreading over decades. There is nothing that Kent finds more exciting than establishing a business and seeing it getting successful. Kent is a nature-cognizant person. This can be plainly found in his relationship with an association named AAA Trade Power based out of Sydney. This organization principally offered services for top quality installation of solar panels in the city. During his time with the organization, he made best efforts to make more and more people aware about the advantages related with the utilization of solar energy.
Although there are various ways to harness the solar energy, rooftop solar panels have become popular these days due to low installation cost and other cost-saving benefits. Kent Scarborough says that installation of a rooftop solar requires solar panels which are basically assemble photovoltaic cells, an invertebracy/DC switches and an electrical conduct. The rooftop panels can be mounted on the roof of the buildings to harness solar power. The process of installation of solar panels is not easy and simple and has to be carried out under technical supervision for best results. Some of the things need to be considered in order to leverage the benefits to the fullest.
Condition of the roof
The rooftop panels are installed on the roof that comes with a service life of around 20-25 years. Before installation, proper inspection of the roof must be done. If your roof is old or damaged then the installation would not last for its full-service life. In such scenarios, repairing of the roof must be done first. It makes no sense to install the panel and then dismantle it for roof repairs. This will incur extra cost for dismantling and re-installtions. Furthermore, always inspect whether your roof has enough space for the solar panel installation.
Slope of the roof
The efficiency of the solar panels depends on the slope of a roof. It facilitates the drainage of water in each rainy season. Kent also suggests that solar panels must be installed in north facing as it helps to generate maximum electricity. In addition to this, the roof inclination must be in the range of 10 to 30 degrees as it allows drainage of rainwater and removal of any debris.
Calculation of weight the roof can withstand
Every roof can withstand a certain amount of weight only. Solar panels tend to increase the weight on the roof. In order to avoid any future consequences, always measure as how much weight a rooftop can withstand. It should be evaluated by professionals as they guide when any improvement can help to make the roof best for installation of solar panels.
Rate of consumption of the building
Kent Scarborough highlights that different buildings hold different needs when it comes to the requirement of solar energy. The need depends on the gadgets, appliances and machinery that have to be powered. This makes it even more important to analyze the need of the building before installing a rooftop solar panel. At the same time, compare the total rate to consumption to choose the right solar panel. Generally, a solar panel consists of 36 to 72 PV cells, with each cell supplying capacity of 0.5 V of power approximately. These figures help to find out as how many panels are required to meet the energy needs of the building.
Kent Paul Scarborough Former CEO & Entrepreneur says that before buying a solar panel, look out as which type of solar panel will be able to meet your requirement. Also, check the warranty offered for the panel, inverter, support equipment etc.to make a right buying decision.
