How can direct-mounted and standoff-mounted arrays affect the temperaturees inside a building?

Direct-mounted arrays can lead to higher temperatures inside a building as they often absorb and transfer more heat directly to the structure, especially if installed on rooftops without adequate ventilation. In contrast, standoff-mounted arrays create a gap between the array and the roof, allowing for improved airflow and reduced heat transfer, which can help maintain cooler indoor temperatures. This difference in mounting can significantly influence the overall thermal performance of the building, impacting energy efficiency and comfort levels.
