In a common configuration solar panel mounting brackets are ballasted by the weight of the green roof layers eliminating the need for roof penetrations.
Green roof and solar power.
Politicians who see solar on their constituents rooftops are going to be encouraged to dream big said nathanael greene director of renewable energy policy at the natural resources.
With the two systems sharing elements total costs are reduced and government grants can be applied to both.
Combining the two technologies is common in many countries in the world.
This is however not the case.
Green roof technology has developed advanced systems that allow easy and efficient installation of both systems without roof penetration or potential leaks of the roof.
Switzerland germany and austria lead the way in the approach.
Green roof designed for biodiversity and to generate solar electricity photo.
Furthermore our design and engineering solutions consider different growing conditions for the plants when combined with solar panels.
