Biosolar roofs have ecological and economic benefits
- Cost effective way to successfully combine PV systems and green roofs
- Increased efficiency of the PV system through lower local roof surface and air temperature.
- Increased biodiversity
- Reduction in rainwater discharge rates and contribution to attenuation targets
The Optigrun solar green roof system
- PV support system secured against wind suction by the superimposed load of the green roof build-up.
- Vegetation development possible under the PV panels due to drainage and reservoir facility incorporated into the support bases.
- No roof penetration needed avoiding additional waterproofing costs.
- Supports can accommodate virtually all standard PV modules.
- Available for module inclination of 10, 15 or 20 degrees and south or east-west orientation.
- Modules can be mounted either vertically (portrait) or horizontally (landscape).
- Can be combined with extensive green roof specifications or our Retention Flow Control solution.
- Suitable for use in conjunction with greening on inverted roofs.
