Solar Solutions for All Roof Types
Over the last ten years, we have installed solar panels on a wide variety of roof types. Each installation represents a different challenge; however, our expert designers can find a solar PV system to suit any situation:
Flexible Solutions for Every Project
Trapezoidal Steel
Designed to Maximise Space
High Rise Buildings
Due to the wind loadings, a mechanically fixed system is required at heights over 20 floors. For this application, Igen designed a solar PV system that can be fixed to a traditional cold roof and can also be fixed to a warm inverted roof construction using specialist anchors with legs extending beyond the insulation.
End to End Solar Design
Standing Seam
Approved by all of the mainstream roofing manufacturers and increasingly popular because of its aesthetically pleasing appearance. For this system, Igen uses a specialist clamp to attach to the top of the seam, eliminating any need for penetration of the roof skin.
Utilise Space and Maximise Savings
Single Ply Membrane
iGen offers a choice of fixing options for this type of roof. We use a specialist fixing for mechanical attachment – particularly suitable for systems on buildings over 20 storeys. This is screwed/bolted to the roof deck and contains a layer of single-ply membrane, which is then welded to the roof to maintain integrity against moisture ingress. Igen can also design a system secured using concrete ballast, which requires no penetrations to the roof. The amount of ballast is calculated using the latest BS and EN standards.
Flexible Solutions for Every Project
Tile/Slate
Planning policies on housing are driving the rise in popularity of Solar PV systems as developers strive for greener homes and improved BREEAM ratings.
Igen can design integrated systems that sit flush to the roof rather than on top of the tiles or slates. This gives a sleek, low profile and means there is no need to remove the system for future maintenance or repairs to the underlying roof.
Flexible Solutions for Every Project
Trapezoidal Steel
The most cost-effective type of solar PV system is installed on the Trapezoidal Steel roof commonly found in warehousing. The roof anchors are fixed to the crown of the roof sheet, and the solar panel is secured directly to them.

Tailored Solutions To Meet Your Needs
Solar Panel Financing & PPAs
We can assist Property owners/Landlords in generating additional income by preparing PPA options, effectively selling their clean solar electricity to their future tenants, providing an additional revenue stream and benefitting the tenants with low-rate lean electricity. Businesses with existing premises can also access Solar PV without any capital, whereby Igen can arrange a PPA investment in your building, securing low fixed rate clean energy for the next 20-25 years.
