15. Roof Panel non-Integration
A 'retro-fit' mounting system (also referred to
as 'on-roof' and 'non-integrated') is the
simplest and most cost-effective way of
installing a PV system on a building
The mounting system typically consists of a
series of horizontal rails, to which modules are
fixed by a series of clips. The rails are then held
to the roof by regularly-spaced mounts,
chosen to suit the roof type.
The installed retro-fit system runs parallel to the original
roof covering, with a small gap (approx. 50-100mm)
between the roof and the modules. An entry point for
the field cables is required at some point in the building,
but this can be in the most suitable location for
weatherproofing.
16. Recommendation
•Roof Structural surveys undertaken on sample archetype properties
•Modern day houses more likely to need interventions to strengthen
rafters

31. •Through the course of the project it
became clear to NWSI a manufacturer
who could diver :
•continuity of supply through a vertically
integrated product.
•High quality: The manufacturers of the
PV panels would need to use only top-
quality components from top-brand
companies in the PV industry.
