I just have my first solar panel project installed on my roof. Now I am worry about it.
My installer worked with his solar designer and proposed reverse tilt to improve efficiency of north side panels by making them 10 degree south facing reverse tilt.
I love the idea but when installed I am concern about wind might up lift these panels and blow them away.
Some say the installation is ugly, I am not too concern about cosmetic but safely.
My roof is pitched with around 20 degree, my house is middle of three connected house.
I am thinking about hiring a structure engineer to ensure it can survive wind speed of 118MPH.
My solar design paperwork says this setup can hold:
WIND 118 MPH
SNOW 20
PSF - 4.0
The building is in NYC.
Iron ridge X100 with longest rail span 6 feet.
Please see 5 pictures attached, I am open to any feedback.
Thank you all
