Photovoltaic energy in Missouri

Installation of photovoltaic panels on the roof of a warehouse in the town of Missouri

A total of 420 photovoltaic modules have been installed on the roof of this warehouse, in the form of a V. As shown in the photographs, the apppropiate safety measures have been implemented.

Rooftop installations can be done, in principle, on any roof, but, to ensure its productivity it is necessary to have a good orientation. In this case, the orientation was not directly to the south, which ensures the highest performance of the installation, but, the plates were placed in the best way to achieve that same performance.

The terms plates, panels, modules and collectors.

Plates and panels are synonymous and can be applied to both, those used in solar thermal energy and photovoltaic energy. Collectors, on the other hand, are referred to, only, thermal collectors and modules, only, to photovoltaic.
