ABSTRACT
Chapter 5 involves the design and layout of photovoltaic racking systems and the installation of them on a variety of different roof types. We will cover two commonly encountered roof types: asphalt composition shingle and flat concrete tile. Other common roof types include two-piece C-tile, one-piece S-tile, standing seam metal roofs, torchdown, and membrane roofs (e.g., PVC). We will not cover these roof types, basically because of a lack of time.
