Insulation for energy roofs with photovoltaic installations
Optimise your flat roofs with solar panels using our PIR insulation from Recticel Insulation.
Insulating Flat Roofs Integrated for Future Solar Needs: Meeting Performance and Regulatory Demands with Recticel Solutions
As flat roofs increasingly support photovoltaic systems, insulation plays a vital role in ensuring thermal efficiency, structural reliability, and long-term performance. As the UK continues its transition toward an electrified energy network, rooftop photovoltaic systems are emerging as a key contributor to national sustainability efforts and the journey to net zero. Recticel insulation boards are designed to meet the demands of solar-ready flat roofs, helping manage temperature extremes and mechanical loads. Their thermal conductivity as low as 0.022 W/mK supports energy performance. With the Future Homes Standard driving higher efficiency targets, choosing the right insulation is essential for compliant roof designs.
Flat roofs are particularly sensitive to climate fluctuations and structural loads. The addition of solar panels further intensifies these requirements, necessitating efficient and sustainable insulation. Recticel's PIR boards, such as Powerdeck F, Powerdeck U or Deck-VQ®, provide thermal resistance insulation with minimal thickness. This frees up usable space while ensuring maximum energy efficiency.
In a context where the energy performance of buildings is central, Recticel Insulation offers innovative and sustainable insulation solutions for flat roofs, particularly those equipped with solar panels. Thanks to its advanced technology in the field of PIR rigid foam (polyisocyanurate), Recticel meets the strictest requirements in terms of thermal comfort, heat and pressure resistance, and durability.
