Don’t let your green roof stop you from installing a solar energy system

With more and more cities around the world changing the building code and regulation to better adapt to the climate conditions. The cities must combine green roofs, systems for delaying water and energy production to conform to the new expectations. Green roofs are also beautiful and gives increased biodiversity and lower temperature in cities during hot summer days. With conventional solar panels, you must combine different approaches, with sections of the roof dedicated to green roof or solar systems that’s combined with a setup to delay water below the PV-modules. The Over Easy approach is different!

Using the Over Easy Solar unit you can combine your green roof 100% with a solar energy system. The lightweight PV-Units from Over Easy Solar can easily be put on top of sedum roofs without limiting or changing the function of the green roof itself. You have easy access to inspect, maintain and if needed repair the roof. For the green roof itself, the benefits of vertical solar panels are obvious: The plants get access to rain and sunlight for natural humidity variations and evaporation, and the rooftop is 100% accessible for birds and insects.
