Photovoltaic-ready roofs refer to building roof systems specifically designed and constructed to accommodate PV solar energy installations. This approach capitalizes on underused rooftop space for solar power generation, offering advantages over ground-mounted PV systems such as space efficiency, security and direct electrical integration.
NRCA has released a white paper that addresses key considerations of PV-ready roofs, including the selection of roofing materials and systems with service lives that match or exceed that of the PV installation; compliance with relevant codes and standards; and the involvement of qualified roofing contractors and licensed electricians to ensure proper installation and maintain warranties.
