The energy manager of a building sees the roof as a great place to generate some electricity using photovoltaic panels!
The
maintenance manager sees a photovoltaic installation as a roof
maintenance nightmare. He sees lots of leaks waiting to happen and a
nearly impossible re-roofing project half way through the expected
performance life of the PV installation.
The maintenance manager can relax and enjoy reduced roof
maintenance and the energy manager can have his money saving PV installation
when they install an SPF (sprayed-in-place polyurethane foam) Cencoat roofing system in conjunction with their PV panels.
There are four easy steps to the Cencoat system:
1. Identify and resolve design shortfalls or code issues including
the building's ability to support the additional weight of the PV panels.
2. FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) blocks are lag bolted to the
roof support members. This proprietary use of FRP was developed by
CCC and has been used on hundreds of roofs to support all kinds of
roof mounted equipment with 100% successful performance.
3.
A minimum of one inch of SPF is installed over the entire roof
surface encapsulating the base of the FRP blocks and tapering up
around them to create a perfect waterproof seal.
4. The Cencoat Coating System, consisting of multiple passes of
acrylic coating, with granules in the top coat, is installed. Bright white
coating and granules qualify the roof for "Cool Roof" credits and
rebates where applicable.
Cencoat roofs have proven performance
beyond the 25 year productivity of the PV system.
The combination of energy producing PV and an
insulating SPF roof may even result in turning your building into
a "net energy producer!"
