Green Roof Integrated Photovoltaic System

Air conditioning in our homes releases carbon dioxide.

Green roof integrated photovoltaic system.

Green roof gr and photovoltaic pv systems are both sustainable rooftop technologies. Solar garden roofs create the ideal environment for pv panels to maximize their output creating more electricity and greater return of investment roi. Green roofs and photovoltaic panels are complementary technologies that improve each other s performance. Green roofs a bit less familiar than solar panels are roofs covered completely or partially with vegetation.

The conversion efficiency of photovoltaic pv panels is closely related to the operating temperature of the panel. Green roof and solar photovoltaic pv systems are two technologies that could contribute to sustainable building development and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Plants in your green roof will absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. And the integrated photovoltaic system is providing you clean green energy compared to other means of energy generation.

Solar garden roof system is fully integrated into the green roof that anchors the pv panels to the roof without penetration of the roofing membrane. The combination of green roofs with photovoltaic pv panels has been proposed to provide synergistic benefits as the panel is cooled by the presence of the vegetation and thus produces more electricity while the solar panel enhances growing conditions for vegetation and increases abiotic heterogeneity resulting in higher plant diversity. Green roof integrated photovoltaic gripv systems not only combine the benefits of green roofs with rooftop solar but have been proven to work synergistically to achieve efficiency improvements of 10 20 over the same pv system installed on a traditional rooftop. Green roofs protect roof membranes while enabling flora to grow through an integrated root drainage and soil system.

This system was used on a green roof that ginkgo sustainability currently maintains on a long term care home in the peel region. When they are combined. They reduce energy bills boost property values and are attractive to customers and investors.
