Green Roof Solar Panel

This is the best temperature for solar panels to work most efficiently.

Green roof technology by erin weavergreen roofs are known to extend roof life conserve energy and reduce stormwater runoff and air pollution. Solar green roofs integrate standard solar electric panels with a traditional vegetated green roofing system. In a common configuration solar panel mounting brackets are ballasted by the weight of the green roof layers eliminating the need for roof penetrations. Extensive green roofs are more suited to the installation of solar panels.

Furthermore our design and engineering solutions consider different growing conditions for the plants when combined with solar panels. As the official solar partner of the cleveland browns powerhome solar installed solar panels at firstenergy stadium as part of the browns green initiative. Solar panels on green roofs like these in new york city can operate more efficiently because the surrounding air is cooled by plants. The green roof element provides the ballast to hold the a frames and panels in place.

The panels provide shade on the rooftop gardens which is important on accessible roofs because of the intensity of the sun. 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. With the two systems sharing elements total costs are reduced and government grants can be applied to both. New studies show they can also boost the performance of solar panels.

Together we re building a movement that will help future generations and the planet while dispelling the myth that solar is not viable in northeast ohio.
