6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic support roof waterproofing requirements]

Can a solar PV system be installed on a flat roof?

Solar photovoltaic (PV) for flat roofs to generate renewable energy. Our solar PV systems are designed to ensure the Bauder waterproofing beneath remains completely intact and without compromise. The entire installation process of both of our photovoltaic systems is quick and simple.

What is a roof mounted photovoltaic system guidance?

The guidance refers only to the mechanical installation of roof mounted integrated and stand-off photovoltaic systems; it provides best practice guidance on installation requirements and does not constitute fixing instructions.

How do solar PV roof fixing systems work?

Get more information about solar PV roof fixing systems at the Ecofirst website. Solar PV tracking systems move the PV panels to track the sun, and are claimed to produce up to 30 per cent more electricity than a static array. The downside is the additional cost.

How much load can a solar panel impose on a roof?

During the design phase the load capac-ity for the installation of a PV system always needs to be evalu-ated by a Structural engineer. The loading imposed on the roof by Sika® SolarMount-1 is ca. 10–15 kg/m2, including a PV panel localised loadings can be higher.

How do you fix a PV system to a flat roof?

There are two fundamental options for fixing a PV system to a flat roof, ballasted or mechanical. A ballasted system adds additional weight to anchor the array to the roof whereas mechanical installations cover two key methods, either they are fixed to the deck penetrating the roof covering or they do not and leave the waterproofing system intact.

What are the requirements for a PV installation?

Virtually all domestic PV installations will fall under the scope of Part P. Part P requires the relevant Building Control department to be notified and approve the work. There are two routes to comply with the requirements of Part P: Notify the relevant Building Control department before starting the work.
