Roof considerations when incorporating solar
Regardless of the potential benefits, not every roof is ideal for solar. GAF recommends that building owners consider certain factors when deciding if their roof is right for solar.
Roof Design Considerations When Incorporating Solar
When considering rooftop solar, the roof system should be designed to have an equivalent or longer lifespan than that of the solar arrays.
Roof Overburden
Since its inception a roof's primary purpose has been to shelter its inhabitants from the elements, but now the underutilized potential of roof surfaces is being realized. For roofs with large surface areas, the potential for large overburden installations, such as solar, vegetative roofing, or amenity decks can be exceptional.
How to Choose the Best Membrane for a Commercial Solar Power Installation
Choosing the right roofing membrane can make a difference when installing a solar array. There are several things to consider when selecting a membrane for a roof that might have a solar installation added.
Installation Steps
-
Step 1
Mark location where GAF Rooftop Equipment Mount 100 is to be installed. Prepare membrane surface at each location following the substrate preparation and application instructions for GAF guarantee-eligible systems. -
Step 2
Install recommended fastener through the roof and deck (min. deck penetration ¾ in. for steel, 1 in. for wood) using the depth gauge provided, and allowing the fastener head to sit firmly on the gauge card. Do not overdrive. -
Step 3
Locate the notch on the perimeter of the GAF Rooftop Equipment Mount 100 flange* and note how it aligns with the plate on the underside of the Equipment Mount. -
Step 4
Slide the Equipment Mount into place capturing the head of the fastener in the keyhole. Continue to slide the Equipment Mount until the fastener head is lodged in the narrow slot of the keyhole. -
Step 5
Lift the flange and install eight (8) additional fasteners through the GAF Rooftop Equipment Mount 100 plate, hitting the top flutes. All nine (9) fasteners must be used for proper plate loading! Do not fold or crease the membrane during fastener installation. -
Step 6
Heat weld the flange of the Equipment Mount to the GAF flashing detail specifications and seal cut edges as required.
