Get the most out of your roof with solar panels
Your roof often offers more possibilities than you think. With solar panels you can use unused roof space to generate sustainable electricity yourself. This can be interesting for both homes and businesses that want to reduce their energy costs and become less dependent on the electricity grid.
More and more households and businesses in the Netherlands are choosing solar energy. But a good solar panel system does not start with installing as many panels as possible. It starts with good design.
At Novectra, we look at the complete picture: your roof, your energy consumption, the available space and your future energy needs. Based on this, we design a solar panel system that fits your situation.
Whether you have a pitched roof, flat roof, dormer, garage, shed or other outbuilding: there are often various options for generating solar energy. The right mounting system and panel layout depend on the construction, orientation, available space and condition of your roof.
Solar panels on a pitched roof
A pitched roof is one of the most common locations for solar panels. Novectra assesses the orientation of your roof, the available space, shade and obstacles such as chimneys and roof windows to determine the most effective layout of the solar panels.
A south-facing roof can offer high solar yield, but east- and west-facing roofs can also be very suitable for solar panels. We choose the right mounting system and design the installation tailored to the construction and characteristics of your roof.
Solar panels on a flat roof
Een plat dak biedt vaak veel mogelijkheden voor zonnepanelen. Dat maakt platte daken bijzonder interessant voor woningen, bedrijfspanden, kantoren, loodsen en magazijnen.
Novectra designs your system based on the available roof surface. We take into account the orientation and tilt angle of the panels, wind load, roof structure, drainage and accessibility. The goal is to maximise energy yield while ensuring a safe and technically sound installation.
Novectra can also design and install a suitable solution for larger commercial roofs.
Solar panels around a dormer
A dormer does not have to be an obstacle for solar panels. Even when your roof has a dormer, there is often still enough suitable space for an efficient solar panel installation.
Novectra assesses the entire roof and looks at the available space, the shape of the roof and possible shade. Based on this, we determine how the solar panels can be placed around the dormer.
Solar panels on a garage
A garage roof can provide valuable extra space for solar panels, especially when your main building has limited or unsuitable roof space.
Novectra assesses both attached and detached garages and looks at the roof structure, orientation, available space and electrical connection. Solar panels on a garage can also be combined well with a charging point, so you can use solar energy to charge your electric car.
Solar panels on a shed or outbuilding
Not only your home or business premises may be suitable for solar panels. A shed, garden house, veranda, agricultural building or other outbuilding can also provide extra space for generating solar energy.
Novectra assesses the roof structure, location, available space and electrical connection. For buildings located further from the main home or main building, we also look at the cable route and electrical configuration before advising a suitable solution.
What if your roof is in the shade?
Do you have trees, a chimney, dormer or a building that causes shade? That does not automatically mean your roof is unsuitable for solar panels.
When designing your system, Novectra takes possible shade into account and optimises the panel layout and system configuration. Where needed, power optimizers can help limit the impact of partial shade. These ensure that solar panels function less dependently on each other, so partial shade can have less influence on the performance of the overall system. The goal is to create a solar panel system that performs optimally under the actual conditions of your home or business.
