Quick PV installation on green roofs with S:FLEX GreenLight
The advantages of the S:FLEX GreenLight System at a glance:
- Particularly easy and quick to install solution for newly installed green roofs
- Water storage volume of 39.5 l for high water retention
- Modules can be mounted vertically and horizontally
- South and east-west orientation (saddle roof and butterfly assembly) possible
- Available for different inclination angles: 10°, 15° and 20°
- High module distance from the ground for simplified maintenance of the green roof and optimised yields
- Static calculations according to Eurocode and regional standards
Components
GreenLight base plate
Drainage tray with high water storage volume (39.5 l) made in Germany from recycled HDPE.
GreenLight ST universal profile
A rail for mounting framed photovoltaic modules in all common sizes.
GreenLight Knickfix angle bracket 10°/15°/20°
Triangular connection between base plate and mounting rail, available for three different module inclination angles.
End and mid clamps
S:FLEX module clamps have an extremely wide clamping area and are therefore suitable for all standard modules and frame heights of 30-50 mm. High torsion resistance and our latest, ultra-smooth one-click technology make installation a snap.

Especially for the combination of photovoltaics and green roofs
The S:FLEX GreenLight System with substrate ballasting and integrated water reservoir is the quick and easy solution for penetration-free extensive green roofs. The large distance between the modules and the substrate surface prevents heat accumulation and avoids yield losses due to the plants shading the PV modules. For optimal use of roof space as well as easy care, inspection and maintenance, we recommend the butterfly assembly variant with its raised structure between the rows.
S:FLEX GreenLight ON TOP for existing green roofs
The advantages of the S:FLEX GreenLight ON TOP System at a glance:
- Particularly easy and quick to install solution for existing green roofs
- No loss of yield due to shading of the plants (module height lower edge at least 30 cm from the substrate)
- Modules can be mounted vertically and horizontally
- South and east-west orientation (saddle roof and butterfly assembly possible)
- Available for 3 different inclination angles: 10°, 15° and 20°
- High module distance from the ground for simplified maintenance of the green roof and optimised yields
- No roof connection required, system is applied onto the existing green or gravel roof
Components
GreenLight OT floor rail
The floor rails ensure that the system rests stable on the roof and guarantee free water drainage.
GreenLight ST universal profile
A rail for mounting framed photovoltaic modules in all common sizes.
GreenLight Knickfix angle bracket 10°/15°/20°
Triangular connection between base plate and mounting rail, available for three different module inclination angles.

Especially for the combination of photovoltaics and existing green roofs
The S:FLEX GreenLight ON TOP system is the ideal solution for sustainable and efficient energy generation on existing green roofs - without any roof penetration. The innovative composite surface of the substructure enables fast, stable installation with minimal additional weight.
Thanks to the distance between the modules and the substrate surface, heat build-up is effectively reduced and yield losses due to shading of the solar modules by plants are prevented. This ensures reliable and long-lasting system performance.
