Can a solar PV system be installed on a flat roof?

Solar photovoltaic (PV) for flat roofs to generate renewable energy. Our solar PV systems are designed to ensure the Bauder waterproofing beneath remains completely intact and without compromise. The entire installation process of both of our photovoltaic systems is quick and simple.

What is a flat roof photovoltaic mounting system?

The flat roof photovoltaic mounting system is attached to the roof without penetration of the waterproofing system or roof deck. The systems are designed to be used in conjunction with our Single Ply or Reinforced Bitumen Membrane waterproofing solutions and are lightweight at 9-12.5 kg/m², depending on the module selected.

What is a solar fix ALU membrane?

This system ensures that the integrity of the waterproofing is not compromised throughout the lifetime of the panels on a photovoltaic roof. The SOPRASOLAR FIX ALU PEDESTAL is an element of the SOPRASOLAR FIX ALU system (rigid photovoltaic system installed on top of the roof waterproofing membrane).

What is a solar PV system?

Solar PV solutions for renewable energy generation on both new build and retrofit flat roof projects. An integrated solution for mounting photovoltaic renewable energy on a green roof or a blue roof.

Can a photovoltaic roof be retrofitted?

Maintenance of the waterproofing membrane is very easy as individual panels can be removed if required. Retrofitting photovoltaic panels creates a solar roof that produces electricity for the building's use, and brings all the benefits of low-maintenance renewable energy generation to your project.

How do you fix a PV system to a flat roof?

There are two fundamental options for fixing a PV system to a flat roof, ballasted or mechanical. A ballasted system adds additional weight to anchor the array to the roof whereas mechanical installations cover two key methods, either they are fixed to the deck penetrating the roof covering or they do not and leave the waterproofing system intact.
