Sometimes, especially with homes that are two stories or more, roof space becomes a concern when looking into solar. Homes with two stories or more typically have the same roof space as a single story, but more people are living there and more space must be cooled by the air conditioner in the summer, which results in more energy usage.
Each solar panel generates a certain amount of energy, and if the roof space isn’t big enough to match the home’s energy usage to the solar generation of electricity, this can be a concern. The good news is that home’s with high energy usage will typically see a cost savings by putting any number of solar panels on the roof, even if that number of panels produces below the “optimal” level of electricity. We also have upgraded solar panels that produce more energy (watts) per panel but take up the same amount of space, and we use these upgraded panels when roof space is a concern to match the energy generation to the home’s usage.
