Hello
we are planning a new semi-detached house.
We want to install a photovoltaic system later on.
We will get the right half shown in the photo. Orientation is southwest.
The photovoltaic system will of course be installed on the southwest side facing the garden.
The black area is the 3x5 m (10x16 ft) terrace, which will later be covered with a fixed terrace roof measuring 4 m (13 ft) deep and 5.5 m (18 ft) wide.
My question is whether it will still be possible to install a photovoltaic system on the roof once the fixed terrace roof is there?
If the terrace roof is on the southwest side in the garden, it will no longer be possible to set up scaffolding.
For maintenance or in case of problems, access to the photovoltaic system will be necessary later on (is access without scaffolding not possible?)
Or can the photovoltaic system be installed without scaffolding?
The house will have a gable roof and 2.5 full stories.

You don’t want to end up needing a helicopter rescue. 😀It definitely makes sense to consider this in advance, rather than waiting until the situation can no longer be changed. That’s why it makes sense to install the mounting frames (support structure) already during the roof construction. The solar panels can then be mounted later.

hampshire14 Sep 2021 09:39The installation of photovoltaic panels is very straightforward. The substructures are sometimes so simple – for example, T Werk – that assembling a Pax cabinet seems like a journeyman’s task by comparison. For your house, you can decide the order of construction as you prefer. Both ways are possible.
@hampshire Thank you, that really puts my mind at ease. I thought I would have to choose between the two.
Certainly, it doesn’t make sense to install photovoltaic panels on the northeast-facing half of the roof, right?
What do you think about a photovoltaic-covered patio roof?

Is it definitely not worth installing photovoltaic panels on the northeast-facing half of the roof? It depends. If the roof pitch is not too steep and there is no shading, it can be worthwhile, especially in southern Germany. You will have a flatter production curve throughout the day, which is beneficial for covering as much of your own electricity demand as possible.
