6 FAQs about [New policy for solar roofs]

Are public buildings suitable for a solar roof?

This is assuming that 60% of public buildings are suitable and fall under the scope of the EU Solar Rooftop Standard. The EPBD will tap into the vast potential of rooftops, estimated at 560 GW by the EU Joint Research Centre earlier this year.

Should a solar roof cover a green roof?

Existing solar mandates show a broad range of provisions from 30%11 to 75%12 of the useful roof space. To achieve a fast and cheaper energy transition, solar installations should cover the complete suitable part of the roof. Green roofs should be no exclusion criterion but could reduce the available space of the roof for a solar installation.

Will rooftop solar become a standard?

The EPBD will tap into the vast potential of rooftops, estimated at 560 GW by the EU Joint Research Centre earlier this year. Jan Osenberg, Senior Policy Advisor at SolarPower Europe said: “Like the essential integration of smoke detections years ago, this new law propels rooftop solar toward becoming the standard.

Should a solar roof be re-installed after a roof renovation?

The expected time until the roof needs to be substantially renovated should in any case exceed the payback time of the solar installation, as installation costs have become a large part of the total costs (in Germany approx. 50%2) and hence re-installation after a roof renovation should be avoided.

Can rooftop solar PV reach a new national target?

But there remains a substantial amount of work to be done to accelerate the deployment of rooftop solar PV to reach the current National target of 3 GW to 5 GW per year of new capacity set by the 10-year Energy Programme Decree (PPE).

How much should a solar roof cover?

Therefore, a coverage rate can be defined. Existing solar mandates show a broad range of provisions from 30%11 to 75%12 of the useful roof space. To achieve a fast and cheaper energy transition, solar installations should cover the complete suitable part of the roof.
