6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic panel joint waterproofing method]
How do you fix a PV system to a flat roof?
There are two fundamental options for fixing a PV system to a flat roof, ballasted or mechanical. A ballasted system adds additional weight to anchor the array to the roof whereas mechanical installations cover two key methods, either they are fixed to the deck penetrating the roof covering or they do not and leave the waterproofing system intact.
Can solar roof attachments cause water intrusion?
Installing solar roof attachments requires drilling dozens of holes through roofing material, making any roof vulnerable to water intrusion. Given this reality, it’s important to understand how water intrusion (and the resulting building damage) occurs and ways installers can prevent it from happening.
How do you waterproof a flat roof?
Joints are made by heating the underside either with a gas torch or hot air gun. Liquid applied membranes – a liquid system that is applied to the roof area and cures to form a waterproof membrane. Most of these membrane systems can be used to waterproof both flat and pitched roof structures.
