Contact UsA 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.
The photovoltaic (PV) roof mounted solar panels are located above concrete roof tiles with an external fire exposure classification of Broof (t4) and a reaction to fire classification A1 (non-combustible) which satisfies the low vulnerability criteria contained in Technical Handbook Annex 2.C for a roof covering not more than 6m from of a boundary.
Photovoltaic (PV) panels (also called solar electric panels) convert energy from the sun into electricity. PV panels (or modules as they are sometimes called) are composed of a number of PV cells (or solar cells) containing a photovoltaic material (Pester & Thorne, 2011), and these can be in a variety of shapes and sizes.
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.
The installation of photovoltaic panels on a building roof or integral with a building roof also raises other code issues (e.g., roof loading, wind loading, fire ratings, weather tightness, mounting systems, roof penetrations, etc.), which may also be relevant for systems mounted on or integral to a wall.
It is the case that the presence of panels on a roof will limit the opportunities for venting smoke and fire, should it be required. Fire crews have also reported difficulties in fighting fires from aerial platforms with PV panels on the roof.
