Rooftop Solar: Maximizing Solar Power Generation & Getting to Carbon Neutrality
Learn how rooftop solar can support net-zero goals by exploring key market trends, design strategies to maximize energy output, and roofing considerations that ensure long-term performance.
About the live course
Solar energy is now cost-competitive, and rooftop energy generation is becoming more mainstream. As owners shift towards a net-zero approach to portfolio management, rooftop real estate is primed for solar panels. This presentation is geared towards owners considering the benefits of solar arrays and the designers guiding owners through this process. Understanding the long-term trends that make rooftop solar a compelling choice is the first step. Considerations to maximize output will be discussed, and approaches to various solar installations will be evaluated to assist with the design process. This will include how rooftop solar can support the path to net zero. Finally, roofing considerations to assist in the long-term performance of the roof assembly will be discussed.
- Describe how roof material choices contribute to the long-term success of a solar installation.
- Identify the different approaches to maximizing output.
- Explain how rooftop solar can support net zero design goals.
- Discuss different types of solar panels and installation approaches.
