What Happens When a Hospital Solar Project Starts Leaking?
A Ghanaian-born doctor practicing in the US built a hospital in his hometown—and chose solar to keep the power stable.
But soon after installation, the corrugated metal roof started leaking. The culprit: a locally common L-foot mounting system. For a hospital, a leak is not a small issue.
The client came to us for a waterproof solution. We didn’t rush to quote. We first checked the roof rib dimensions, then recommended a clamp-based mounting system that protects the roof waterproof layer while keeping the panels secure.
Project Snapshot
- Location: Ghana
- Application: Hospital rooftop solar
- Capacity: 230kW
- Roof Type: Corrugated metal roof
- Solution: Clamp-based mounting system
- Status: 6 months in operation, no leaks
Good intentions deserve good details.
Six months later: the 230kW hospital rooftop solar system is running well—and the roof is dry.
