Industrial buildings constantly consume electrical energy, paying high amounts in the bills. The need to install solar panels in industrial buildings has increased in recent years, due to the democratization of prices that has made them accessible to many. The only requirement is to have an extension where sunlight can reach and normally these sunny places are located on the roofs of industrial buildings.

Enjoying all these hours of daylight per year and not using them for your own consumption is something that almost no businessman and more and more individuals want to lose.


INSTALLATION DIFFICULTIES

The installation of photovoltaic panels is a complex project that requires a specialist, since these solar panels are usually placed in high areas, such as roofs and rooftops. In all work at height there are risks of falling from different levels, so it is very important to ensure safety before mounting our photovoltaic installation. We must have:


SAFE ACCESS TO THE DECK/ROOF

The first thing is to have a good access point access to the roof to secure the steps on roofs and decks, in addition to securing with vertical lifelines the steps on ladders that do not comply with safety measures. At Safeway360 we install all types of custom-made industrial metal walkways, either for fixed or temporary industrial communications, we also have a wide catalog of approved industrial ladders for access to roofs and decks.


SAFE WORK FOR INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

It is essential to implement the necessary safety measures for the prevention of risks at height, both for installation and maintenance work. All solar panel installations must be cleaned periodically to maintain their operation, since different studies point to a 5% loss of performance after the first 6 months without cleaning. It is for all this, that we must have a safe and permanent access. Equipped with:

/ Lifelines in the work area

/ Perimeter fences

/ Independent anchor points

/ Industrial stairs
