In recent years, changes to various sections of the Building Regulations seem to have conspired to make it very difficult to design and install flat roof waterproofing to upstands 
Bauder is partnering with Solon Energy GmbH to deliver a photovoltaic system for flat roofs that does not require any penetration of the waterproofing system or roof deck to fix the mounting system. Instead, the companies have developed a unique tool-free installation method where the substructure of the module is welded to the roof membrane, rather than mechanically fixed, greatly reducing the risk that is involved with other PV solutions.
The partnership brings together Europe’s leading innovators in the fields of flat roofing and photovoltaics. With both companies emphasising quality and service, there is no denying this agreement will provide a unique range of combined solutions as well as full compliance with the warranties for both the roof and the PV system, all with a support package that adds value to every project.
As part of this partnership, Bauder is offering a product the likes of which have never been seen before: The Bauder Solfixx PV system. Bauder Solfixx is a unique solution. The substructure of the module is welded to the roof membrane, rather than mechanically fixed, greatly reducing the risk involved with many PV solutions and providing full compliance with the warranties for both the roof and the PV system.
The BauderSOLAR SOLfixx solution, installed in combination with Bauder roof membranes is an ideal solution for anyone who wants to build or replace a flat roof with photovoltaics. “About 90 per cent of all industrial flat roofs in Europe are sealed with bitumen or plastic membranes,” says Stefan Säuberlich, CEO of SOLON Energy GmbH. “The SOLON SOLfixx was specifically developed for those kinds of roofs. Thanks to our cooperation with the industry leader Bauder, we can tap into an enormous market.”
