[RE-wrenches] barrel roof

[William Miller]

Aaron:

Attached is a drawing that indicates how we designed a system for a large 
barrel-roof warehouse with the curvature N-S.  The project requirements 
were to "max out" the PV component on this roof.  As you can see, the south 
rows are parallel with the roof and subsequent rows have longer and longer 
back legs to allow southern exposure.  The shading study was extensive to 
ensure that there was no inter-row shading.

Each blue rectangle is actually two rows of modules in portrait.  We are 
sticklers for providing walking room on a roof so the spaces in between 
rows accomplish that goal.

I hope this drawing and explanation provides you with some inspiration.
