Solar terrace / solar terraces: Photovoltaics on the terrace roof - a big step towards the energy transition with solar
Published on: September 22, 2022 / Update from: February 26, 2023 - Author: Konrad Wolfenstein
Solar terraces are the perfect area for a photovoltaic system. However, most people do not take advantage of their patio roof because they think it is too small or unsuitable. This is a big mistake! Use your patio roof for photovoltaics and save money! Whether in the shopping center, cafes, company terraces or for private use at home.
Terrace roofs – the perfect area for a photovoltaic system
Photovoltaic modules can be installed almost anywhere. Installing a photovoltaic system on the terrace roof is relatively uncomplicated and can usually be carried out by anyone or by professionals. First, a frame is mounted on the roof to which the solar modules are attached. An inverter is then installed that converts the electrical energy from the solar panels into alternating current, which we use in our homes to power devices.
Terrace roofs are the perfect area for a photovoltaic system because they offer enough space for the necessary solar modules.
The advantages of a photovoltaic system on the terrace roof are diverse. On the one hand, you can generate your own electricity and thus significantly reduce your electricity costs. A photovoltaic system is also beneficial for the environment because it helps to reduce CO2 emissions.
Why photovoltaics on the terrace roof?
The demand for electricity in our country continues to increase and the energy transition is in full swing. So it's time to rethink our private households and explore new ways of generating electricity. Photovoltaics (PV) are particularly important because they offer some major advantages: On the one hand, they are climate-friendly because there are no CO₂ emissions. On the other hand, it is decentralized - everyone can install PV systems themselves and thus contribute to the energy transition. And thirdly, it saves costs because the more electricity you generate yourself, the lower the electricity costs.
So what speaks against installing photovoltaics on the terrace roof or in the garden? The initial costs may seem high, but in the end the investment is worth it – for the environment and your wallet!
Installing photovoltaic systems on the terrace roof is a big step towards the energy transition. The systems produce electricity that is fed into the grid for internal consumption and/or into the general grid, thus helping to cover general electricity needs. In addition, CO2 emissions are reduced because fossil fuels no longer have to be burned.
Is photovoltaics on the terrace roof the future?
Photovoltaic systems on the terrace roof are an investment in the future. They help combat climate change and advance the energy transition. At the same time, they enable households to become less dependent on rising electricity prices.
For most people, owning their own house or apartment is their dream. But in times of climate change and the energy transition, the question arises as to how you can make your house or apartment energy efficient. Photovoltaics on the terrace roof are a good way to cover your own electricity needs and thus contribute to the energy transition. The energy transition is in full swing and the federal government is committed to expanding renewable energies. Photovoltaics (PV) is one of the main energy sources of the future and is becoming increasingly important worldwide. In Germany, more than 6 gigawatts (GW) of PV capacity was newly installed in 2018 - this corresponds approximately to the output of six nuclear power plants. This trend will continue as the cost of solar energy continues to fall and consumers become more aware.
Photovoltaics can also be installed on terrace roofs and, for example, supply your own house with solar energy. However, investing in a PV system on the terrace roof is not cheap and should be carefully considered. The size of the roof plays a particularly important role here - the larger the roof, the more solar panels can be installed and of course the higher the possible yield. Photovoltaics on the terrace roof are a great way to promote the energy transition. By installing solar systems on the roof, property owners can generate their own electricity and thus increase the proportion of renewable energy in Germany. In addition, photovoltaics on the terrace roof also offers many economic advantages: thanks to the savings in electricity costs, investments in solar systems can pay for themselves after just a few years. The environment also benefits from photovoltaics on the terrace roof, as solar power does not cause any emissions.
The new generation of roofs: terrace roofs with partially transparent solar modules
The new generation of roofs is a real visual eye-catcher: solar terraces with partially transparent solar modules. The light shines through the modules, creating a luminous effect that will transform your garden or terrace into a true gem.
But it's not just the aesthetic effect that's impressive, the technical possibilities are too. Due to the partial transparency of the modules, sunlight can be used very well to generate electricity. You can also use the electricity yourself or feed it into the general grid.
This generation of roofs is the perfect symbiosis of technology and aesthetics and is guaranteed to give you many years of enjoyment.
Terrace roofs are no longer just an ornament, but can also make an active contribution to the energy transition through the use of partially transparent solar modules. These new types of solar modules not only let light through, but also heat, so that the rooms under the roof are warmer in winter and cooler in summer. At the same time, the solar modules produce electricity that is fed into the home network and can thus reduce household costs. Due to the good thermal and optical properties of the partially transparent solar modules, solar terraces with this generation of roofs become an attractive living space that is also environmentally friendly.
