KEY BENEFITS OF A BIOSOLAR ROOF

Biosolar roofs provide a multi-functional roof solution that supports renewable energy targets, biodiversity objectives and sustainable drainage.

KEY BENEFITS OF A BIOSOLAR ROOF

Biosolar roofs turn unused roof space into a high-performing asset — generating energy while supporting biodiversity and sustainability goals.

Vegetation helps cool the roof surface, creating a more stable microclimate for the PV array. Lower temperatures and better airflow under raised panels can improve energy yield compared to PV installed directly over exposed membranes.

It can also reduce glare and thermal stress, helping support long-term PV and waterproofing performance.
