Green roof and photovoltaics

04/07/2023

Are you thinking about photovoltaics on the roof? Do you also like the idea and benefits of a green roof? A green roof with photovoltaics can be combined and a biosolar roof is the best choice for you in this case. Both types of roofs complement each other very well, as the green roof cools the panels and increases their efficiency. Photovoltaic panels on the other side create a floating shadow on the roof during the day and the plants are not affected by all-day heat.
Together, the combination of photovoltaic panels and the green roof creates a great combination that is environmentally beneficial to the economy. All this with the laying of the supporting structure for photovoltaic panels without breaking the waterproofing!

ECOLOGICAL VALUE

Thanks to the biosolar roof, your household costs will be reduced. The green roof helps you from overheating the roof structure and, thanks to its evaporation, improves the function of the solar panels. As a result, solar panels produce more energy.

GREATER DIVERSITY OF ROOFS

The shade created by solar panels allows for a wider species diversity of plants. Depending on the roof parameters, different tracks can also be created.


WATER MANAGEMENT

One of the great advantages of a solar green roof is that it shades itself. And thanks to the evaporation from the plants, it supports better functionality of solar panels. Photovoltaics thus goes hand in hand with a green roof. Due to its thickness, the roof substrate is able to absorb up to 60% of the volume of water that falls during a rain. Most of this water serves the plants for life and some evaporates as moisture into the air.





EASY MAINTENANCE

Maintenance of the biosolar roof as an extensive variant of the green roof is very simple. Additional irrigation is usually not necessary. Photovoltaic panels are also undergoing inspection.
