Description
The south-facing slope of almost 400 sqm is 60% clad with Eternit Sunskin Roof photovoltaic modules. The bottom four rows incorporate hybrid panels (PVT) that convert solar energy into both electricity and heat. The roof is mostly prefabricated in the workshop to be quickly assembled on site. The PV modules rest on a wooden substructure, which in turn rests on prefabricated concrete beams. The 18 elements that make up the roof, of three different types, were delivered to the construction site already fitted with the substructure for the solar panels. Once positioned by crane, the interlocking elements were fixed to the concrete beams using anchor bolts.
