What is a Bio Solar System?
A BioSolar system combines a high‑efficiency solar PV array with a living green roof. Instead of penetrating the roof membrane, the solar panels are mounted on a low‑ballast frame that sits directly within the green roof substrate. This creates a dual‑purpose system that delivers renewable energy generation while supporting biodiversity, water management and building performance.
Benefits of Installing a BioSolar System
1
Enhanced Biodiversity and Ecology
A BioSolar roof creates a thriving habitat for pollinators, insects and plant life. The green roof environment supports wildflowers, sedum and native species, helping organisations meet biodiversity targets and environmental planning requirements.
2
Improved Solar Panel Efficiency
The vegetation around the panels naturally cools the roof surface, reducing ambient temperatures. Cooler conditions help solar modules operate more efficiently, increasing energy yield compared to panels installed on a standard warm roof.
3
No Roof Penetration Required
The system uses the green roof substrate as ballast, meaning:
- No drilling
- No membrane penetration
- No risk of leaks
- Faster installation
This makes BioSolar ideal for both new builds and retrofit projects.
4
Supports Sustainable Drainage (SuDS)
The green roof absorbs and slows rainwater runoff, reducing pressure on drainage systems. This helps buildings comply with SuDS requirements and improves overall water management.
5
Extended Roof Lifespan
The green roof protects the waterproofing layer from UV exposure and extreme temperature changes. This can significantly extend the life of the roof, reducing long‑term maintenance costs
6
Planning and ESG Advantages
A BioSolar system helps organisations meet:
- BREEAM requirements
- Local authority sustainability targets
- Corporate ESG commitments
- Net‑zero strategies
It demonstrates a clear commitment to environmental responsibility.
7
Lightweight, Flexible Design
The system is engineered to work on a wide range of roof types, including those with limited load capacity. Its modular design allows for easy layout adjustments around roof obstacles.
