Key Theatre

Bauder Total Green Roof System (BTGRS) with BauderSOLAR

Synopsis

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.

Advocacy 

Mike Phillips, council's contract manager:
Because 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.”
