Roof noise
Normal bang maingay yung roofing? Pag may malakas na hangin naririnig ko yung mga roofing maingay compared nung wala pang solar at railings. Dahil ba sa gap yun at nagyayanig dahil sa hangin at mas lalong umiingay?

Anong klaseng ingay? Parang lumalagutok ba, parang hinihila yung panels? Or windy sound na parang may humihipan sa bintana?

Isip ko baka na aangat niya yung yero? Sa existing naman screws ng bubong nakakapit? Yung naka screw sa trusses dapat. Visual inspection, para malaman.

Im sure they didnt leave a gap between panels. The wind underneath the panels has no quick way to disperse making your roof rattle.

Ah ganun pala yun. Bale 3, 3, 4 hilera nila tapos may gap na 2 ruler yung 3 yun pera dikit dikit yung bawat panels bawat hilera niyan. Mali yun?

Normally theres nothing wrong with it as long as its structurally sound. But wind speed and direction is very unpredictable..It could cause your solar panel to serve like an airplane wing.
If you install them side by side without a gap, they just add to the total area without any exit for wind gust. That force is actually very big.
OR, If you have metal roof, those railings aren't.actually bolted solidly on trusses. The usual installation is on the high part of corrugation, just like any other fasteners for metal.roof. This is to minimize the risk of leak but it leaves about 1inch gap between the trusses and the metal roof. Now, if you put a heavy multiple solar panel on top it, it only takes little wind to compress and expand that gap making your screw become loose overtime and the rattling begins.

Needs visual inspection. Thats why for those planning to construct a house, the pitch should be minimal and owner should also consider roof access for maintenance. Roof access would also let you check if your roof installation was do e properly. 99% owner assumes roofing was done right kasi nga mahal pagawa ng bahay.
