Special requirements for solar installation in high-rise residential buildings

The special requirements for solar installation in high-rise residential buildings are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Installation location selection: The installation space on the roof is limited and cannot meet the installation needs of all residents. You can consider locations such as the south side wall and the sunny balcony. The centralized water supply solar hot water system for high-rise buildings features solar collectors that can be centrally set up as needed and placed on the building's roof (flat or sloping), walls, eaves, and other locations that can receive sufficient sunlight.

Pipe materials and insulation: As the water temperature inside a solar water heater can reach over 95 degrees Celsius, to prevent the pipes from aging or softening, high-quality aluminum-plastic pipes should be purchased. At the same time, the use of polystyrene insulation materials should be avoided to prevent the formation of gaps and the resulting severe shrinkage and deformation.

Fixation and wind protection: Solar energy equipment in high-rise residential buildings needs to have stronger wind resistance. Concrete piers, expansion bolts or steel wire ropes can be used to fix the brackets. The specific choice of the best fixation method should be determined based on the condition of the roof. When installing a solar water heater, the reflector can be removed to enhance the wind resistance of the entire machine. At the same time, the solar water heater should be firmly fixed to the roof to withstand the invasion of typhoons. Before the typhoon comes, make sure the water in the solar water tank is full, which can enhance the wind resistance performance.

Lightning protection measures: When installing solar energy equipment in high-rise residential buildings, lightning protection issues must be taken into consideration. Before installing the water heater, the lightning rod beside the rooftop water heater should be raised to be more than half a meter above the top of the water heater. At the same time, the water tank of the water heater must be effectively grounded, and the indoor water outlet must be connected to the ground wire at the same potential. Don't use the water heater during thunderstorms.

Waterproofing and load-bearing capacity: When installing solar equipment in high-rise residential buildings, special attention should be paid to waterproofing and load-bearing capacity issues. It is strictly prohibited to drill holes in the floor to damage the waterproof and insulation layers of buildings and cause leakage incidents on the roof. The feet of the roof pipe threading support should be sealed and waterproof treated. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the load-bearing capacity of the roof or balcony can support the weight of the solar equipment.

When installing solar energy equipment in high-rise residential buildings, it is necessary to negotiate with the property management or neighbors to solve issues such as the installation location and obtain their approval. This helps to reduce disputes and troubles during the installation process.
