There are a growing number of systems available to install full-sized solar panels within the roof, replacing slates or tiles rather than being fitted over the top of them. The result is a sleeker looking roof with the solar panels forming part of the roof's waterproofing.
Many roofs have solar PV mounted on them, and with the rise in energy prices and the general availability of solar technology, this trend is set to continue. Nicholson can also provide an online product presentation containing more details around the specifics detailed in this blog.
Most of these membrane systems can be used to waterproof both flat and pitched roof structures. A flat roof is classified as having a pitch of 10 degrees or less whilst a pitched roof has a pitch of 11 degrees or more. There are many different types of flat roof construction, but the three main ones are as follows;
Joints are made by heating the underside either with a gas torch or hot air gun. Liquid applied membranes – a liquid system that is applied to the roof area and cures to form a waterproof membrane. Most of these membrane systems can be used to waterproof both flat and pitched roof structures.
There are three main ways to mount the solar framework to the roof; 1. Ballasted (weighted) Installation In a ballasted installation, the PV array is not fixed to the roof but is held in place by weights, often concrete blocks.
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).
