Bio-Solar Roofs Can Increase Solar Performance by Up to 15%

Updated: 3 days ago

Bio-solar roofs aren’t just about sustainability — they can actually make solar panels work better.


When solar panels are installed above vegetation, the plants help cool the panels naturally. Cooler panels = better performance.


This is why bio-solar is quickly becoming a smart choice for commercial buildings, warehouses, and public-sector projects across the UK.

Why Do Bio-Solar Roofs Improve Performance?

  • Solar panels lose efficiency when they get too hot

  • Plants release moisture, cooling the air around panels

  • Cooler panels generate electricity more efficiently

  • Green roofs also protect the roof membrane underneath

Crazy fact: Some bio-solar roofs can support over 100 plant species while generating renewable energy from the same roof space.
