Suitable commercial and industrial roofs for PV systems

From the right roof shape to considering wind and snow loads: Our guide offers informed decision-making assistance for companies on their way to their own rooftop solar system. Learn how an independent roof inspection ensures planning security and transforms unused industrial areas into lucrative energy sources.

In this white paper, CUBE CONCEPTS provides an overview of which Commercial and industrial roofs suitable for PV systems are and how you can generate cheap and ecological electricity from your roof using solar systems. In many German federal states, new buildings are already subject to a Photovoltaic obligation. For this reason, the installation of solar modules must already be taken into account in the overall planning of a new building. We also address this in this white paper. For PV-suitable roofs are also often found on existing properties. The requirements for the respective commercial and industrial roofs are not as high as you might think.

Contents of the white paper:

  • Which roof shapes are suitable for PV systems?
  • Which roof coverings can be fitted with solar modules?
  • What are snow and wind load zones or terrain categories?
  • What role does the orientation of the building play?
  • Planning security thanks to an independent roof check
  • What requirements does a PV system place on the building statics?
