This project received the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance (SPFA) National Industry Excellence Award in 2005.
Challenge
Install a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel system on roof of a building where an engineer had determined that the roof”s loading capacity was at its limit and no additional weight could be added.
Solution
The existing built up roof (BUR) was torn off and replaced with a light weight SPF roof system resulting in roof loading reduction of approximately 120,000 lbs. The resulting reduction in roof load allowed for installation of a 267 kW PV system.
