Identification

SOPRASOLAR FIX EVO is a photovoltaic waterproofing process that does not require drilling or ballasting, used to convert roof surfaces into renewable electricity generating plants.

The process consists of a mount welded to the underlying waterproofing complex to which the photovoltaic solar panels are attached. It has been submitted to intensive state-of-the-art testing to prove its broad scope of application, including in tropical areas. Because the mounts are welded, no drilling is required through the waterproofing, thereby avoiding any thermal bridges or risk of leakage. The advantages of the process lie in the fact that welding avoids having to drill though the waterproofing or having to use any ballast. This means that the process is entirely suited to lightweight, competitive construction systems, while avoiding the risk of leakage due to the integration systems penetrating through the waterproofing.

Implementation Stories

SOPRASOLAR FIX EVO by Soprema Group
Implemented by Eau de Paris in Paris (France) in 2018

Eau de Paris, the water utility for the City of Paris, took advantage of necessary repairs to the roof of a drinking water reservoir (Haÿ-les-Roses with – 20,000 m2 of available roof space and 1,780 hours of sunshine per year, with a capacity of 229,000 m3) to install a 1,8 MWp power plant. The Solution was identified because drilling through the roof to install a mechanically mounted solution and applying excessive loads were both impossible.

Result

Able to produce 1,600 mwh of power on a roof not suitable for a traditional solar installation
