The possibility of using a flat surface for the construction of a photovoltaic system enables the placement of the modules in keeping with the most advantageous azimuth, without needing to take into account the actual orientation of the building.
While offering many project opportunities, however, installing equipment on flat roofs requires careful assessment of the actual space available, with particular reference to all the technological devices or architectural elements that may cause shading and thus reduce the total available area
Moreover, flat roofing can often be surrounded by a railing, aimed at maintaining a minimum distance to avoid panel shading and to ensure the passage of maintenance personnel.
