The Key Theatre in Peterborough’s city centre combined Bauder’s reinforced bitumen membrane waterproofing system and sedum blanket green roof finish with a photovoltaic solution. The PV array maximised the assigned roof area with 290wp modules inclined at a 10° angle for optimum energy generation per square metre and reduced wind load impact. The PV panels deliver 15.7% efficiency for a powerful and reliable solution.

Products applied

BauderSOLAR:

An innovative photovoltaic system that does not require any drilling of the deck or ballast to install the substructures and modules.

The result

The green roof system comprised a warm roof construction with an efficient PIR insulation, 27 PV modules were installed with an expected energy generation of 6.5 MWh. The project delivered entirely to the client’s aspiration - a comprehensive sustainable solution to maximise the environmental benefits of the roof.

Advocacy
 

"Bauder was already the supplier for the building’s waterproofing membrane, it made sense to source its PV system. We were going to get a Bauder warranty at the end of the roofing works and we didn’t want to compromise that by using a frame PV system and drilling through the waterproofing.”

Mike Phillips, Peterborough City Council's contract manager.
