Technical FAQs 3

Can a new solar installer damage a roof?

New or inexperienced solar installers, or those working with inexperienced sub-contractors, may inadvertently damage the roof during installation and make it vulnerable to leaks during rain or snowstorms. Reputable solar installers understand how to work with roofing and sub-roofing materials to ensure a tight fit and no leaks.

What is a mono glass solar panel?

Mono-glass (single-glass) solar panels use tempered glass on the front and a polymer backsheet on the rear. This design is reliable and widely used in most homes. Glass-glass (double-glass) panels use glass on both sides. Many are bifacial, meaning they can collect sunlight from the back too. This design can boost energy on reflective surfaces.

Are mono-glass panels better than thin glass?

RETC’s tests show mono-glass panels with 3.2 mm tempered glass have about twice the hail resistance of thin glass-glass versions. If your area sees hail often, mono-glass offers better safety and resilience. Weight affects roof load AND installer effort. A standard residential mono-glass panel weighs around 40 lb.
