Solar Green Roof - 4 Pages
Profitable Combination
> The combination of solar power and green roof
ho lds many advantages for investors:
> Increase in the yield of the
photovoltaic system by approx. 5 %
due to the green roof‘s cooling output
The green roof provides cooling
through evaporation, thus increasing
the output of the solar power system
by approx. 5 % in contrast to strong
heat-retaining roof surfaces.
> A green roof protects the roof membrane
and extends its lifespan
This contributes to long and troublefree
operation of the solar power
plant. The green roof build-up also
protects the roof membrane during
routine maintenance work on the solar
power plant.
> Systems secured by a superimposed
load do not require anchor points and
are more cost-effective
Solar power plants secured by a green
roof build-up neither penetrate the
roof membrane or substructure, nor
do hey need heavy individual superimposed
loads. They are also more costeffective
as they are less complicated
and therefore easier to install.
> A green roof offers fire protection
The green roof build-up as a “hard
roof” prevents fire from spreading.
> Rainwater retention and a reduction in
rainwater fees
Depending on their location, extensive
green roofs retain 40 – 70 % of
the annual precipitation, a fact that
many municipalities reward with lower
wastewater fees.
> Secure against wind
Wind load reports and wind tunnel
tests assure the correct calculation of
superimposed loads.
> Fulfilment of environmental requirements
and image advertising
Fulfilling nature protection demands is
not the only benefit – sustainable construction
methods create a positive
image.
