BioSolar Green Roof

    Bio-Solar

    Bio-solar roofs combine the fantastic benefits of a biodiverse roof, laid in varying depths to encourage a multitude of different plant species to grow, and solar PV, where solar panels harness the energy of the sun to produce energy.

    An Evagreen roof is often the best opportunity presented to architects and contractors to replicate and enhance the biodiversity that would be on-site in the absence of development.

    Using a green roof as a base for solar panels comes with additional benefits, including increased panel efficiency and the convenience of using the green roof as ballast to secure the panels in place.
