Soprasolar: Soprema’s Solar Roofing Solution
Soprema’s solar solution, Soprasolar, brings together the company’s waterproofing expertise with cutting-edge solar mounting technology. Designed for both new builds and refurbishments, Soprasolar systems enable solar PV to be installed without compromising the waterproofing layer — a crucial factor for long-term roof integrity.
Soprasolar FIX EVO System
The Soprasolar FIX EVO is a pedestal-based, non-penetrative solar mounting system designed specifically for flat roofs. Instead of mechanical fixings, the pedestals are heat-welded directly to the roof membrane, maintaining full waterproofing performance while securely supporting the PV array.
Key benefits include:
- No roof perforations — preserves membrane integrity and warranties
- Lightweight design — suitable for flat and low-load roofs
- Wind, fire, and load tested for full compliance
- Compatible with bitumen, PVC, and TPO membranes
- Fast, clean installation with minimal disruption
- Designed for optimal drainage and panel tilt
The Soprasolar range also includes FIX EVO Tilt for inclined installations, as well as accessories and systems designed to integrate with Soprema’s green roof solutions — enabling biosolar configurations that combine vegetation and renewable energy generation.
