Over Easy Solar and Sempergreen cooperate for combined green and solar roofs
Sourced from PV Europe
Over Easy Solar's vertical bifacial PV modules, which are specially designed to be efficiently combined with green roofs, were presented at the Solar Solutions Amsterdam trade fair and received second place in the Best Innovation Awards. The new partnership now establishes Sempergreen as the European distributor of Over Easy Solar's PV modules for green roofs, making this solution available throughout Europe.
Lightweight Biosolar Roof
Over Easy Solar's vertical PV units are light and efficient, making them an ideal addition to green roof systems. Weighing just 11 kg/m², the VPV modules require no ballast or mechanical fixing, making installation quick and easy. The lightweight design allows for a complete solar green roof system with a total weight of only 51 kg. This makes Over Easy and Sempergreen the lightest solar green roof system on the market, ideal for new construction and retrofit projects.
Synergistic benefits of green and solar
The vertical PV modules of Over Easy Solar ensure that plants and solar panels complement each other. The plants reflect sunlight onto the solar panels (albedo effect) and cool the roof, significantly increasing the energy production of the PV solution. The vertical design allows the green roof to benefit from partial shading by the modules, while still receiving sufficient light and rainwater and remaining easy to maintain.
