Frequently Asked Questions
How much roof space do I need for commercial solar panels?
The required roof space depends on your energy consumption and system size. As a general guide, 1 kWp of solar capacity requires approximately 5–7 m² of roof space. A typical 100kW system would need around 500–700 m² of unshaded roof area.
What is the typical payback period for commercial rooftop solar in Africa?
Most commercial rooftop solar systems in Africa achieve payback within 3–5 years, depending on electricity tariffs, solar irradiation levels, system size, and financing structure. With rising electricity costs across the continent, payback periods are shortening.
Will solar panels damage my roof?
No — when installed correctly by certified professionals, solar panels actually protect the roof membrane from UV degradation and weathering, potentially extending roof life.
What size grid-tied inverter do I need?
Inverter sizing depends on your PV array capacity and grid connection allowance. Livoltek offers three-phase grid-tied inverters from 4kW to 125kW that can be paralleled for larger systems. Our engineering team will recommend the optimal configuration during the site assessment.
Do you provide monitoring after installation?
Yes. Every system includes a stick logger with IP65 protection for remote monitoring via our cloud platform. You can track generation, consumption, and system health in real time from any device.
