Solar PV systems on flat roofs provide on-site renewable energy, helping meet building energy demand, lowering carbon emissions and improving operational efficiency.
Flat roofs are the ideal space for photovoltaic systems, providing a practical space for on-site electricity generation that reduces overall building energy consumption while supporting project-specific net carbon emission targets, BREEAM and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) objectives.
Through a single-source Alumasc flat roof package, the PV mounting system is specified as part of the complete roofing solution, including the waterproofing. This provides a single point of contact and responsibility for design, compatibility and warranty, reducing coordination risk across the project.
Alumasc PV mounting supports are non-penetrative, ensuring the waterproofing layer remains intact and uncompromised. The systems are compatible with both warm and inverted roof build ups and are extremely lightweight, with pre-engineered components enabling quick, straightforward installation and reduced on-site installation times.
For biosolar applications, photovoltaic systems are used in conjunction with green roof constructions, benefitting from improved efficiency due to the corresponding localised reduction in ambient temperature, combining renewable energy generation with the functional benefits of a vegetated roof.
Alumasc’s PV mounting system is compatible with any PV panel system and fully adjustable to suit on-site installation. Note that the PV system itself should always be installed and warranted via an installer who is registered with a recognised approved body.
