High rise or Elevated structure The elevated design structure, also known as the high-rise structure, offers improved solar efficiency in a limited roof space. The solar panels are installed at a height of 1.8m to 2.5m from the ground. This is an ideal choice for use of small roofs with limited rooftop space.
Deploying solar power for high-rise constructions is challenging, since these buildings have a small rooftop area in comparison with their indoor space. Also consider that tall buildings normally have many types of mechanical equipment on their rooftop, since there is no space for them elsewhere.
Even with standard modules, using an elevated design structure increases solar output capacity. Reduced shade losses and thus increased output efficiency: Elevated design structures are favored due to reduced shading losses and hence enhanced output efficiency.
Although high-rise buildings have a small rooftop area compared with total indoor area, a solar photovoltaic system can still achieve an excellent financial performance. The electricity generation will be small compared with the total building consumption, but also keep in mind that the installation is affordable due to its small size.
Because of height increase, weight of structure increases due to cyclone and heavy winds. So steel section thickness of the structure has to be increased to with stand the additional pressure on the Solar Panels which in turn increases the cost of high rise structure.
Elevated solar panel installation not only saves money on electricity costs but also improves the building’s environmental credentials. This aids in the certification process for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Should we go for an elevated design structure?
