K2 Systems, a German specialist in PV mounting systems, has introduced a new mounting system for green roofs. Green roofs are the roofs of buildings that are fully or partially covered with plants.
The new K2 GreenRoof Vento system will be launched on the market in the spring. The company said the assembly is made of aluminum 6063 T66, stainless steel A2-70 and polyethylene.
“K2’s development team has ensured that disruption to the small-footed greenery is kept to a minimum, so that even low-growing mosses and succulents continue to receive light and water,” the company said in a statement. “At the same time, the system naturally guarantees a stable position and is statically optimized.”
The system supports modules in portrait or landscape configuration, with a height of 10 degrees to 15 degrees. It can contain modules with a length of 1,400 mm to 2,400 mm, a width of 950 mm to 1,350 mm and a height of 30 mm to 50 mm.
“This win-win situation on rooftops is becoming increasingly accepted as more and more local governments subsidize the combination of green roofs with PV or solar thermal systems through financing programs,” said Katharina David, co-CEO of K2 Systems.
