Green roof for the SOS Children's Village Dortmund – Solar Solutions Düsseldorf – Roofing videos

Our news in October 2024

In Dortmund this summer, a small but beautiful installation was realised with a green roof substructure from Schweizer. Solar professionals from North Rhine-Westphalia and beyond will meet at the Solar Solutions trade fair at the end of November – and we will also be there with our exhibition stand. Our series of roofing videos answers numerous questions about in-roof photovoltaics that are frequently asked by roofers.

The SOS Children’s Village Dortmund offers a wide range of on-site interventions and services for children and families. The Children’s Village Centre on Kronprinzenstrasse has now taken a significant step towards sustainability and nature conservation. It has been producing a large proportion of its own electricity since the beginning of August, using an existing combined heat and power plant and a new solar system on the daycare centre’s green roof that measures almost 110 square metres. This was made possible by a donation from the German Postcode Lottery, which supported the construction of the photovoltaic system through a donation of around 40,000 euros.

We will be presenting new and proven solar solutions on exhibition stand G5, including our green roof system, MSP components and innovations such as our sheet metal seam clamp for metal roofs, the roof hook for pitched roofs and our Solrif in-roof photovoltaic system.

In collaboration with Dachdecker-Einkauf Ost eG and the specialised wholesaler deSonna GmbH, Schweizer has developed a video series consisting of 20 episodes on the sale and installation of in-roof photovoltaic systems. The clips are presented by two master roofers and can be accessed free of charge after registration. Numerous individual topics are highlighted using examples in overarching thematic blocks.

The selection of topics is based on questions about in-roof photovoltaics that are frequently asked by roofers. In addition to introductory information, the videos also deal with specific objections regarding topics such as durability, rear ventilation, fire protection, and the repair and replacement of defective modules.
