Hi everyone. I must admit that these solar panels are not for my home, but rather my office, but since the question is regarding installation, I hope it is okay that I'm posting it here.
I own a small warehouse space that's part of a bigger complex. The roof is a layer of loose rock (the kind you see in front of homes) with sheet metal underneath. Given that most of the options available seem to be designed for roofs that are already tilted, I'm having a hard time deciding on a mounting option for my two solar panels. I specifically am hoping for something to tilt the solar panels to the appropriate angle (I'm near Denver and I've been told that your latitude is your best bet for tilt angle) that is safe. I've already checked with the property management company to make sure it is okay for the panels to go on the roof. They've also said that the roof should easily support the weight, but to perhaps leave them about 5-10 feet apart on the roof just to be safe.
They are both REC Peak Energy series, and they are 39" by 65 1/2" by my measurements. We have an excellent view of the southern sky with absolutely no blockage from trees or other obstacles, so I'm open to the idea . What are your suggestions for a mounting system that would work?
Happy to answer any questions about anything I've missed.
