WHO WE SUPPORT

BioSolar for
Architects & Designers

Technical guidance, specification support and free training to help architects design compliant, high-performing commercial BioSolar roofs.

Biosolar Roof System

Helping Architects Deliver
Better BioSolar Projects

BioSolar systems perform best when they are considered early in the design process. We help architects coordinate the solar array, green roof build-up, structural loading, drainage, fire strategy and maintenance access so each element works as one complete roof system. Our practical guidance and technical resources make it easier to develop compliant, buildable and future-ready commercial BioSolar designs.

Early-Stage Design

Identify key BioSolar requirements before layouts, loads and specifications become fixed.

Roof Build-Ups

Coordinate vegetation, drainage, waterproofing and solar mounting within one roof design.

Structural Loading

Understand indicative saturated weights and factors affecting the building structure.

Planning & Compliance

Support planning, biodiversity, fire, access and specification requirements from the outset.
