3 Key Considerations Before Installing Solar Energy in a Modular Home

With the deepening of the green energy strategy and the acceleration of the industrialization process of the building, The modular housing has become a form of building that has attracted more and more attention, Efficient and environmentally friendly. In addition to addressing the demands of the sustainable development era, the incorporation of solar energy systems in modular housing could also help to lower more the energy consumption of citizens. But in practice, solar energy systems on modular homes are not a simple technical question and need unique architectural attention to ensure that systems are safe, and used for the maximum cost-effective efficiency. Table affiliated to this conversation in this analysis is depicted above and thoroughly examined delivery on the basic factors needs to be meticulously considered when it involves such high-quality solar energy systems of modular homes have become attached to the tree in view of 3 guidelines: 72% of basic heading, 13% in regards to electrical union and 66% with territories specifics.

Roof-shaped adaptive modular structures with ~5% axial elastic deformation.

Modular homes are built off site in prefabricated units, which are then assembled at their locati0n. Its structure is not a standard cast-in-place building — it is subject to the forming method of your choice. It is also important to note structural capacities of modular unit roof at earlier stage: Static loads of roof solar module, mounts & other equipment when installed, would be applied on the same structure roof, which would only allow limited roof loads on the same structure (especially on light steel / wood based modular homes).

figure and off the roof accordingly shredded.size of goods, roof frames assemble right where those plan to building the upward faced towards with ground solar structure. For other cases, when the weight is above the recommended ones, structural reinforcement solutions must be applied, beams and columns to increase support, high double-span roofing panels, etc. But these structural changes make construction more expensive, and even undercut the rapid construction benefits of modular buildings.

In addition, the roof form of modular house is directly affecting the installation scheme of solar system. Elements used frequently include the flat roof, the pitched roof, etc. Indeed, a flat-roof structure is very flexible, both in terms of ballast and bolted, but drainage problems, in addition to wind masses, should also be considered. The slope roof choice the slope and cover material do the support framework select good kinds of solidity and tasteful. Common situations due to roof structures that are more complex, some modules are also adapted to the architectural shape, such as curved, shaped and other situations, will bring additional difficulties in the installation of solar system, and need to be tailored for the solution. If the roof is flat, what roof material, whether the field can be used for drainage, and how much reserved space can be installed (to facilitate the installation of the other half of the structure), the analysis determines whether it can be installed, and whether it can be firmly or effectively fixed on the roof.

Second, the electrical interconnections among modules get more complicated and integrated

The electrical system of the modular home, as with the rest of the home’s components, is anything but run-of-the-mill. Most of this internal electrical wiring will be done when each module unit itself is constructed in a factory. At this point the electrical system of every module unit should reliably be connectable once assembled at the field. Whether accustomed to so-called solar energy system access, is council, are the DC side of the series, parallel, photovoltaic modules and inverter access point can be said to be more complex.

While discussing these features of modular housing it is very important to focus on transportation based connections of units and direct connections of these units should be connected with the highest priority through the electrical connections. It is difficult for traditional field wiring to adapt to the efficient construction mode of modular buildings. ➣ The OPTIMAL => The factory pre-fab stage (of the module unit) that covers the fabrication of some of the solar system electrical components, such as DC bus boxes and reserved cables. Plug and pull seamless in field assembly, only to retrieve the fast electrical systems docking. In this way, a pre-assembly way of everything can effectively mitigate the construction pressure of the site, improve the installation efficiency, and also alleviate the safety risk of non-standard wiring on site.

However, there are difficulties in this pre-integration. This implies that these modules must be interchangeably used with one another, this can only happen if the electrical interface specification of each module unit is standardized. Yet, Quality Control of the connectors for these modules is critical, to guarantee all-day operational reliability and water resistance of the modules in long-term use. And the two points have to be fully taken into consideration in terms of solar equipment maintenance and replacement. The parallel array configuration of solar cells and the modular design of solar power generation system comply with the standard module, which can make these systems of a single module independent maintenance and replacement, do not influence the normal operation of other units. This means that the design of the electrical architecture of the solar system with methods of interconnection and their elements beforehand, as well as the communication with the manufacturer of the modular house must be detailed so that a complete and reliable electrical solar installation is achieved.

Third, policies & regulation specificity and the discrepancy of approval system

CHH — The application process and code standards for solar energy systems are often different based on the construction type (for example modular homes which is a newer construction type). MAINTENANCE AND RUNNING COMPETITION: The initiation phase of this straightaway will also spawn lots of continuing competition as well as cost: Everyone will want to hop on the Sunshine Band wagon and go up against a solar system as time goes on as new technologies come to market.

While some areas have not formally set solar installation rules for modular homes, potential roadblocks may cause delays in the application process. ​Get in touch with local planning, construction, power and other departments in advance, understand the homeowner favor by answering with specific procedures and required documents. Solar subsidy policies vary by regions, so even when the owner stays with a modular home, be sure to ask whether it is eligible for subsidies. If you connect your solar energy systems to the grid, you must also know the related requirements of the power companies, as well as access capacity limits and technical standards.

Modular housing is a new approach, because prefabrication of the modular houses takes place in the factory, while on-site assembly (the construction site) is the process in question, thus this method makes special demands of quality acceptance and safety management. also should not be removed from solar power systems installation respective electrical safety standards and fire codes. In some regions, modular home solar systems have testing requirements and certification standards with which they must comply. So it is very important to understand the local policy and regulations, this will help the preparation work before and after the installation process of solar energy systems, according to laws and regulations, to be able to complete the approval and connected into the grid process.

conclusion

Solar Systems on Modular Homes Offer Many Benefits, but Unique Architectural Features Can Provide Challenges Instead, this is a complete and substansive thinking about the modulars structure capacity, roof flexibility, all the electrical connection issues, connection between the modules, the regulation difference, the policy and the procedure differences such as how to apply for the building permit, etc. The world's top one supplier of solar system. We bring the modular home manufacturers and the structural engineers to arrange the rational installation programs scientifically, then we can make sure that the modular homes run safe and efficient which can benefit the economy and the environment. But in the future, the modular housing and solar energy system deep integration becomes an important trend of the building green energy development along with the continuous improvement of related technical standard and the increase of policy support.
