6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic roof waterproofing board]
Are solar shingles waterproof?
These shingles are water-shedding, strong and warranted to withstand winds up to 130 mph. Rack-mounted solar installations—where the solar is separate from the roof—require the drilling of dozens of holes into the roof membrane. Any resulting damage related to those holes is not typically covered by roof warranties.
What is a solar roof?
A solar roof or rooftop photovoltaic (PV) system is a setup where electricity-generating solar panels are mounted on the roof, utilizing the prime exposure of the rooftop to sunlight and creating one of the most environmentally friendly roofs possible.
How can Sika help with a solar PV roof?
Sika can advise how to make your solar PV roof perform optimally, ensuring not only that the PV panels are mounted correctly, but also that the entire roof assembly is designed incorporating vapor retarders where required, proper insulation layers, appropriate fastening technology, correct detailing and more.
Can a flat roof be waterproofed?
Most of these membrane systems can be used to waterproof both flat and pitched roof structures. A flat roof is classified as having a pitch of 10 degrees or less whilst a pitched roof has a pitch of 11 degrees or more. There are many different types of flat roof construction, but the three main ones are as follows;
How do you waterproof a flat roof?
Joints are made by heating the underside either with a gas torch or hot air gun. Liquid applied membranes – a liquid system that is applied to the roof area and cures to form a waterproof membrane. Most of these membrane systems can be used to waterproof both flat and pitched roof structures.
Can flat rooftops be used for solar applications?
The great opportunity of using flat rooftops for solar applications was recognized early by Sika. The first photovoltaic (PV) installations on Sarnafil® membranes date back to 2004. Several development steps led to the current Sika® SolarMount-1 (SSM1) system, and the further development SSM2.
