Can solar panels be installed on a flat roof?

Solar PV panels on a flat roof are often installed on an A-frame mounting system or on a specially designed plastic ‘tray’ at an angle of around 15° from the horizontal to improve their performance while limiting their visual impact and wind loading. This lower angle also reduces the risk of one row of panels shading another on the roof.
