The answer is yes – solar panels can be installed on a green roof. Moreover, this is known as green roof PV, or a biosolar roof system. Green roof PV systems work by installing solar panels on a specially designed mount. This allow the panels to fit onto the roof while still providing enough space for vegetation to grow beneath them.

What are the real benefits of a biosolar roof?

Why a biosolar roof makes your PV panels work better. Solar panels naturally heat up as they absorb and process sunlight. As they rise above about 25 degrees Celsius, their efficiency decreases quickly. A green roof will cool the ambient temperature, bringing the efficiency of the panels back up. This is because water will evaporate from …
