TubeSolar AG has decided on a far-reaching, exclusive cooperation with the management of ZinCo GmbH, which will open up completely new possibilities for photovoltaic systems on green roofs. As one of the world's leading companies, ZinCo has been a pioneer and driving force for extensive and intensive green roofs for over 30 years. In Germany, approx. 7 million square metres of roof surfaces are greened per year. This results in an annual market potential of approx. 200 megawatts for the German market alone, without taking into account already existing green roof areas. Compared to the conventional, flat crystalline silicon modules, the neon tube-shaped modules from TubeSolar AG have considerable advantages: Due to the cylindrical shape and the existing gaps, water and light radiation reach the vegetation below over a large area. In addition, the lightweight modules offer weight-specific structural advantages as well as a significantly smaller wind attack surface, which means that the elevation can be dimensioned smaller.
