Vertical solar specialist Over Easy Solar has installed its first vertical PV system in Ireland.
Located in Dublin, the 5.37 kW system features 21 of Over Easy Solar’s VPV Units comprised of the company’s third-generation XM-3 QUATTRO-256S, a preassembled, lightweight vertical bifacial photovoltaic unit.
The installation was installed directly on a green roof through Over Easy Solar’s ongoing partnership with Sempergreen, a Dutch company specializing in sustainable urban nature solutions.
Keelin Currivan, International Customer Solutions Advisor at Over Easy Solar, told pv magazine such installations prove that customers do not have to choose between having a green roof and a rooftop solar installation.
“The panels manage rainwater and provide thermal regulation for the roof, while the vegetation boosts panel output via the albedo effect without shading the plants themselves,” Currivan explained. “It’s a genuine case for combining biodiversity and clean energy generation on commercial rooftops, rather than treating them as competing uses of the same space.”
The installation was carried out by Irish renewable energy and electrical contractor company Solar Precision. In a statement to pv magazine, the company explained it chose to utilize Sempergreen’s green roof system with the Over Easy Solar’s vertical PV system “because it offered an innovative way to maximize renewable energy generation while preserving the environmental and biodiversity benefits of a green roof.”
“The system aligns with our commitment to delivering sustainable solar solutions and gave us the opportunity to be the first solar PV company in Ireland to install this technology as a case study,” the company’s statement continues.
Solar Precision added that since completion, the project has demonstrated that vertical solar panels can be successfully integrated with a green roof without compromising performance or maintenance.
“As an early adopter of this system in Ireland, we’ve gained valuable knowledge and confidence in the technology, and we’re excited about the opportunities it creates for future commercial and residential green roof projects,” the company said.
Over Easy Solar’s latest expansion follows its first installation in the US earlier this year with a 100 kW vertical PV system in New York. Since then, the company also installed its first system in Vancouver, Canada.
In April, Over Easy Solar shared that its vertical bifacial PV system had outperformed a conventionally-tilted monofacial rooftop PV system in the UK across all seasons during a year-long study.
