SOLon BR for bitumen roofs
Vertical PV for bitumen roofs
SOLon BR is the vertical PV variant of the SOLYCO SOLon system family for flat roofs with bitumen waterproofing. The system enables photovoltaics without roof penetration – with EPDM pads, bifacial double-glass modules, and project-specific planning for bitumen roofs.
Bitumen roofs are widespread in existing buildings and place high demands on PV mounting, sealing, and structural integrity. SOLon BR was developed for flat roofs with bitumen waterproofing and enables vertical PV installation without screwing into the roof membrane.
The EPDM pads support the secure footing of the system on the roof surface. At the same time, the bitumen waterproofing remains untouched, as SOLon BR is installed without roof penetration.
For bitumen roofs
Vertical PV solution for flat roofs with bitumen waterproofing
Low surface load
Lightweight system for roofs with limited load-bearing capacity.
EPDM foot
Designed K2 base for secure footing on bitumen roofs
Bifacial yield
Electricity generation in the optimal east/west autumn/spring profile
No penetration
Quick installation without interfering with the roof seal
Verified structural analysis
Wind-tunnel-tested and suitable for roof pitches up to 10°.
East-West yield profile
Electricity in the morning and afternoon
Thanks to its vertical east-west orientation, SOLon BR generates solar power particularly in the morning and afternoon. This yield profile differs from conventional flat-roof PV systems with a strong midday peak.
The bifacial double-glass modules utilise light on both the front and back. Reflections from roof surfaces and the surrounding environment can further enhance the energy yield potential.
