A Sika solar panel roof system offers improved energy efficiency, a lower carbon footprint and a durable, watertight roofing solution designed for long-term performance. No, not when using the correct system. Sika roofing solutions are designed to support solar integration without compromising the roof's waterproofing, integrity or lifespan.
Solar panel roofs also known as photovoltaic (PV) contribute to the environment by generating sustainable electricity production. Sika supplies Sika SolaRoof® System - a full range of products to design and build your full solar roof system with one supplier.
Your local Sika technical experts can advise you on the best approach in your solar roof design. A solar panel roof system integrates photovoltaic (PV) panels with a flat roof build-up, allowing buildings to generate renewable energy while maintaining full waterproofing performance.
Sika can advise how to make your solar PV roof perform optimally, ensuring not only that the PV panels are mounted correctly, but also that the entire roof assembly is designed incorporating vapor retarders where required, proper insulation layers, appropriate fastening technology, correct detailing and more.
