FLAT ROOFING Flat to low slope Commercial and Industrial Types of Flat Roof Materials and Their Differences BUR – Built Up Roofing Modified – Modified Bitumen EPDM – Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer TPO - Thermoplastic Polyolefin PVC – Polyvinyl Chloride Others – Hybrids, Metal etc
Multiple plies of: Saturated felts, coated felts, fabrics, or mats assembled in place with alternate layers of bitumen, and surfaced with rock, coating, or cap sheet. BUILT UP ROOFING “Old School” – Tar and Gravel
BUILT UP ROOFING Advantages: Tough “Name” recognition Length of time on market Disadvantages: Not energy efficient Cost Equipment / Experience Manufactured from the residues of the asphalt and petroleum industries Disruptive installation – (Hot Tar/Odor) If installed correctly very expensive (tear-off, tapered) Warranties from 5-25 years depending on manufacturer and application
MODIFIED BITUMEN A bitumen modified by including one or more polymers (e.g., atactic polypropylene, styrene butadiene styrene, etc.) Composite sheets consisting of a polymer modified bitumen often reinforced with various types of mats or films and sometimes surfaced with films, foils or mineral granules.
Advantages: Tough, Market penetration / availability and Materials Cost Disadvantages: Typically not energy efficient, Installation methods and Long term costs Manufactured from the residues of the asphalt and petroleum industries Dangerous / Disruptive installation (odor, open flame) If installed correctly very expensive (tear-off, tapered) Warranties from 5-25 years depending on manufacturer and application MODIFIED BITUMEN
EPDM (Rubber) ETHYLENE PROPYLENE DIENE MONOMER Manufactured from the residues of the rubber industry (Firestone) Ballasted applications popular....tape seams If installed correctly very expensive (tear-off, tapered) Warranties from 5-25 years depending on manufacturer and application Advantages: Flexible/ Market penetration / availability/Materials & Install Cost Disadvantages: Typically not energy efficient/ Adhesion to self/ Long term costs/ Fire
EPDM (Rubber) ETHYLENE PROPYLENE DIENE MONOMER
TPO THERMOPLASTIC POLYOLEFIN A blend of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene polymers. Colorant, flame retardants, UV absorbers and other proprietary substances may be blended with the TPO to achieve the desired physical properties. May or may not be reinforced. Environmentally Friendlier
PVC POLYVINYL CHLORIDE A synthetic thermoplastic Polymer prepared from vinylchloride. PVC can be compounded into flexible and rigid forms through the use of plasticizers, stabilizers, fillers and other modifiers. Rigid forms are used in pipes; Flexible forms are used in the manufacture of sheeting and roof membrane materials.
PVC POLYVINYL CHLORIDE Advantages: Flexible Energy, Efficient, Heat Welded, Materials & Install Cost Disadvantages: Past Failures (Early 80’s) Thinner Membranes (40mil) Materials Costs PVC Roofing Material is not a by-product of another industry Ease of installation and repair Extremely minimal maintenance required Warranties from 5-25 years depending on manufacturer and application
PVC INSTALLATION METHODS Mechanically Fastened Attach roof using screws and plates Most popular method of PVC attachment Recommended when using PV Solar
PVC INSTALLATION METHODS Fully Adhered Roof is 'glued' down
PVC INSTALLATION METHODS
Heat welded using a powerful hot-air blower (400 F) Seams are the strongest part of the PVC roof No chemicals, glues, or adhesives PVC WELDING PVC
Various materials including 5” Polyisocyanurate insulation, Fanfold insulation with 6mil Polyethelene film vapor barrier PVC INSULATION & SLIPSHEETS Serve Multiple Purposes: Add ‘R’ value to the facility Provide separation between PVC and old roofing Provide positive drainage (tapered)

SOLARSAVE ® - PREMIERE SERIES Module Construction – Performance and Durability Enhanced flouropolymer top coat Diffuses heat Captures low levels of light … 2-5% better than glass Low surface tension … repels dirt and water better than glass Maximizes power output in shade … embedded bypass diodes Low Cost Installation - Conduit ready MC junction box with plug- and-play leads UL1703 Listed, CEC Listed Class A fire rating SP-450SP monocrystalline cells - 2 parallel strings of 80 cells connected in series 80 monocrystalline cells - 1 string of 80 cells connected in series
Key Challenges Roof penetrations (rack-mounted systems) Structural weight implications (ballasted systems) Wind uplift problems Requires waterproof substructure Creates water ponding … Roof remains damp/wet under modules – plant growth, mold and mildew Penetrations cause roof warranty invalidation TRADITIONAL APPLICATIONS RACK-MOUNTED AND BALLASTED
TRADITIONAL APPLICATIONS THIN FILM TECHNOLOGY Key Challenges Very low power output ~ 5-7 % efficiency, 4 watts per ft² Requires vast roof area to generate required electricity Individual modules are very large Unable to be installed around roof objects
SolarSave ® is the roof … Waterproof … No roof penetrations No leakage risks Doesn’t void roof warranty Lightweight … Less than 2 lbs. ft² No structural reinforcement required No water ponding Roof stays dry, free from rot, mold and plant growth Building integrated … No wind uplift issues Highest energy output in the industry Up to 15 watts per ft² Eliminates traditional challenges for solar on new construction as well SOLARSAVE ® - THE SOLAR EVOLUTION SOLVES ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH TRADITIONAL SYSTEMS
INSTALLATION Standard Single-Ply Roofing Methods Mechanically Fastened Fully Adhered Multiple PVC membranes supported TPO planned in future Recommended method Install PVC membrane roof per standard practice Heat-weld SolarSave TM Membrane modules to roof
INSTALLATION
SOLARSAVE ® - INSTALLATION ADVANTAGES EASY AND INEXPENSIVE TO INSTALL No rack mounting hardware or heavy ballast required Lower installation labor and material costs Module sizes allow for installation around roof objects Maximizes solar electricity output Can be installed over existing roof No demolition and disposal costs Fully expandable
