Solar on flat roof systems

The RMSC Difference

The RMSC Difference

The RMSC Difference

Not all flat roof systems are suitable for panels to be installed directly on-top. Many times there are measures that can be taken, but it's important to have a roof consultant involved every step of the way. This is why we are different. We will work with you every step of the way to ensure that your investment is not negatively impacting the roof over your head. 

Weight Concerns

The RMSC Difference

The RMSC Difference

too much weight can collapse a roof

Many contractors will tell you that the weight of a solar array is approximately 5 pounds per square foot. Although that is true for the hardware, have they considered snow build up? Or dynamic wind loads? Our in house roof consultant can calculate these forces to ensure the install is completed safely. 

Roof Warranties

The RMSC Difference

Roof Warranties

solar panel damage on a flat roof

Overburden will almost always void a roof warranty without careful consideration and coordination. We take the time to contact roof membrane manufacturers, or 3rd party issuers such as Alberta Roofing Contractors Association to ensure that the warranty and long-term health of the system is not jeopardized. 

Wind Concerns

Protect Your Investment

Roof Warranties

improper install of a solar array on a flat roof

On a flat roof wind can become extremely dangerous. Parapet walls, and dynamic lifting across the surface can create forces that seem unimaginable when it is calm out. We have trained experts in the field of dynamic wind uplift calculations that can ensure the solar array stays exactly where it is supposed to.

A typical flat roof costs about $15-25 per square foot depending on insulation requirements. Repair costs by a qualified company can range from $1,000-$10,000 depending on severity. Prior to installing solar it is imperative to ensure your roof  can withstand our climate for 25+ years. 

Ask Questions

Protect Your Investment

Protect Your Investment

If you have a flat roof and are interested in solar be sure you ask about warranty and weight/uplift calculations. Ask what method is being used to your array and what the final 'additional dead load' will be. There are many great contractors in the province, but sometimes profit can cloud good judgement. Make sure to get complete information before signing a contract.
