Solar Panels on Steel Building

Steel structure building roofs feature high flatness, ample open space, and large usable area, making them an ideal base for photovoltaic projects. The installation of solar power systems on such roofs can bring substantial economic benefits to enterprises.
Most industrial facilities consume electricity at relatively high industrial tariffs, and often face unstable power supply during peak consumption periods. By installing solar panels on steel structure roofs, enterprises can achieve self-consumption of clean electricity, while surplus power can be fed into the grid for revenue. This approach effectively lowers overall energy expenses.
In addition, enterprises can lease their roofs to power station investors and obtain stable, long-term rental income. The installation of solar panels also provides protection for the roof, helping to cut down maintenance costs.
Traditional steel structure roofs usually adopt corrugated color steel plates, which typically need replacement after approximately 10 years of service. After the installation of photovoltaic panels, the roof is covered with an extra protective layer, reducing corrosion caused by weathering and greatly prolonging its service life. Furthermore, rooftop photovoltaic systems help improve energy efficiency. The PV modules act as an additional thermal insulation layer, weakening heat exchange between the interior and exterior of the workshop. This thermal barrier reduces cooling and heating loads, thus lowering the factory’s overall energy consumption.
