By Dani Sheehan. 

Explore solar options for a new project or integrate into an existing system with innovative solutions that blend sustainability and efficiency. 

Photovoltaic (PV) roofing systems are becoming a key player in commercial construction, helping businesses generate clean energy while optimizing the surface of the roof. At this year’s International Roofing Expo (IRE) 2025, Johns Manville is bringing its expertise to keep you ahead of industry trends. Don’t miss Rob Hughes, Owner Services Technical Representative, at Johns Manville, present on low-slope roofing and PV systems during the expo! 

If you’re planning to install a PV system on your building, there are several factors to evaluate beyond just energy generation. Key questions include: 

• Compliance and codes: What mandates and regulations apply to your project? 
• Structural implication: Can the building support the additional weight of a PV array? 
• Drainage and layout: Will the PV system impact water drainage or require design modifications? 
• Rooftop conditions: Are other building components in optimal condition? 
• Attachment methods: How will the PV system be secured to withstand environmental factors like wind, thermal expansion and seismic activity?
