Addressing 5 Common Questions About Commercial Rooftop Solar

As the push for sustainability and clean energy intensifies, many commercial and industrial property owners and stakeholders are considering rooftop solar installations. Although concerns about potential property damage, increased temperatures, warranties, code compliance, monitoring, and drainage can be daunting, Nelnet Renewable Energy’s expertise and maintenance services leave nothing to worry about. Let’s explore the answers to five common questions you may have.

1. Will Solar Panels Damage My Structure’s Stability?
We understand concerns you may have about the structural integrity of your property. Rest assured, before any solar installation, our experts conduct a rigorous assessment of your roof’s stability. Our assessors are highly qualified and experienced, ensuring that your structure can safely support the solar panels. Your property is in expert hands.

2. Will Solar Panels Make My Building Hotter?
Contrary to this common misconception, solar panels can actually help reduce building temperatures. Solar panels act as shade, blocking direct sunlight from hitting the roof’s surface. This shading effect can lead to a cooler building interior, reducing the need for excessive air conditioning during hot months and enhancing your property’s energy efficiency.

3. What About Warranties and Code Compliance?
Our team carefully assesses all warranties to ensure they align with industry standards and your specific needs. We also conduct a thorough review of local building codes to ensure compliance, providing you with peace of mind that your installation meets all necessary regulations.

4. How Will We Know if Something Goes Wrong?
Monitoring your solar installation is crucial for its long-term performance. Our state-of-the-art monitoring systems continuously track the operation of all components, ensuring they are functioning correctly. In the rare event that an issue arises, we can swiftly address it, minimizing downtime and maximizing energy production. We also prioritize fire safety considerations, implementing the latest safety measures to protect your property.

5. Will a Rooftop System Influence Drainage and Cause Leaks?
We understand the importance of proper drainage and waterproofing. Our installation process is meticulous, with a focus on preventing drainage issues. Our rooftop systems are designed to allow water to flow freely, avoiding pooling that could lead to leaks. You can trust that your property will remain dry and secure.
