Flat roofs and photovoltaic panels: waterproofing first
Maximise energy efficiency by renovating your industrial flat roof ahead of any photovoltaic installation. A failing membrane jeopardises your PV investment from the very first year.
Roof waterproofing: a prerequisite for any photovoltaic project
A photovoltaic installation literally rests on your roof. Leaks, thermal bridges or a membrane at end of life under PV panels make diagnosis and repairs impossible without removing the whole installation. Acting beforehand protects your investment.
Why renovate your flat roof before installing solar panels?
Guaranteed waterproofing under the panels
Intervening once panels are installed multiplies costs and delays. A membrane renovated beforehand keeps your roof watertight for 20 to 25 years.
A membrane compatible with PV fixings
Photovoltaic mounting systems put specific mechanical loads on the roof. We select and install PVC or TPO membranes engineered to work with every leading mounting system on the market.
Better overall energy performance
A well-insulated roof cuts thermal losses and improves the energy balance of your whole site, on top of the gains from your PV production.
Renovating your flat roof before the photovoltaic works
The order of the works is decisive. Entrusting the renovation of your roof to Vincent Piront before the PV installation guarantees a sound, durable base that is technically compatible with your installer.
Concretely, we work on surfaces ranging from several hundred to several tens of thousands of square metres, on occupied sites, with tight coordination between the different trades involved.
Coordinating your flat roof with the photovoltaic installation
Vincent Piront works before the photovoltaic panels are installed. Our role: prepare a roof technically ready to receive your PV installation, in close coordination with your installer.
- Preliminary roof condition audit and technical recommendations
- Installation of a membrane compatible with photovoltaic mounting systems
- Coordination with every stakeholder — flexibility and responsiveness guaranteed
- After-sales support possible after installation if needed
