What is a roof solar photovoltaic?

It has an excellent carbon footprint because its production requires very little grey energy. The Roof-Solar TPO photovoltaic process uses 95% aluminium. This metal has many advantages including being light, strong, recyclable and highly resistant to corrosion.

Are roof-solar TPO photovoltaic mounting systems reliable?

A resistant solution, the Roof-Solar TPO photovoltaic mounting has undergone several tests to be certified by a New Technology Survey (Enquête de Technique Nouvelle – ETN) by Alpes Contrôles: resistance to climatic loads, watertightness, condensation, corrosion resistance. All the results of these tests show the reliability of this mounting system.

Are there good waterproofing options?

Today, nonetheless, there are good waterproofing options on the market that provide durability, resilience, adaptability and, above all, avoid headaches and fights between builders and owners.

What is roof-solar TPO?

Roof-Solar TPO allows solar panels to be installed on the roof in such a way that the added load on the building structure is as low as possible. The pre-assembled rails with the TPO retaining strips are thermally welded to the TPO synthetic membrane. Ballasting is therefore not required.

Who designed the Sika Solaroof system?

The Sika SolaRoof system was designed by Sika (roofing manufacturer) and Centroplan (solar installer). Unlike most rooftop solar installations, the roofing manufacturer and the solar installer worked together on this project, and the building owners are the ones who benefit.

Can a roof be waterproofed?

Image Cortesia de Elevate Based on these possibilities, it is possible to waterproof several types of roofs. Green roofs, for example, have been encouraged and are increasingly appearing in cities, as they contribute to the thermal insulation of buildings, reduce urban heat islands and create natural landscapes.
