Solar PV Roof Systems - IKO Elements Sustainable Roofing

Flat roofs lend themselves perfectly to the incorporation of solar panels, making it a highly effective solution to sustainable energy practices. The lack of interference from surrounding structures and obstacles maximises the panels’ access to sunlight, resulting in significantly greater energy generation and cost savings over time. It’s essential to have panels installed in a location with optimal sunlight exposure to ensure that they perform at their best.

Through this renewable energy alternative, businesses can reduce their reliance on traditional power sources, contributing to a decrease in their environmental impact and carbon footprint. By taking this environmentally-conscious step, you can create a more energy-efficient building or support green initiatives and practices, making the installation of solar panels on your flat roof a smart and proactive choice.

IKO, as a leading manufacturer of roofing, waterproofing, and insulation products, understands the importance of working with experts. We have therefore partnered with national strategic partners who have a comprehensive understanding of designing, installing, and delivering Solar PV systems.

The integration of photovoltaic panels via retrofitting is a practical and tactical solution to provide renewable energy for building projects. This process involves the installation of a solar roof system that generates electricity and provides cost-effective benefits with minimal maintenance. However, during the installation of PVs, taking into account extra weight loading and wind uplift pressures is a primary concern.
