AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing buildings with insufficiently mechanical waterproofing layers for photovoltaic panels require replacement, incurring additional costs and waste, which deters potential customers.

Method used

A load-bearing structure with spaced beams supports photovoltaic panels, using uprights that pass through the existing waterproofing layer, allowing fixation without replacing it, ensuring adequate weight distribution and ventilation.

Benefits of technology

Enables installation of photovoltaic panels without replacing the waterproofing layer, reducing waste and costs, improving ventilation for efficiency, and allowing dual-sided panel use for enhanced energy production.
