Insulation solutions for photovoltaic flat roofs
Recticel provides insulation boards suitable for flat roof terraces with photovoltaic installations, supporting thermal performance and system integration.
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.
Adding Value with Recticel Insulation for Solar-Ready Flat Roofs
In renovation projects for commercial, industrial, or logistics buildings, Recticel’s PIR insulation panels bring added value to the process. With a tested and verified compressive strength of over >150 kPa our flat roofing insulation panels can reduce the requirement for additional load-bearing layers or reinforcements, simplifying the build-up and saving time on site.
By supporting compliance with evolving regulations such as the Future Homes Standard, Recticel insulation contributes to more sustainable and efficient building upgrades. It’s a practical solution that helps streamline solar integration while maintaining high standards of thermal performance.
