Ideal garage roof for solar system

Have a reasonable structure planned by the structural engineer. Keep in mind that you want to put a lot of weight on the roof. You can simply calculate generously with 50kg per sqm - so with a version without roof penetrations, that can be over 3 tons of weight. Or the system is screwed directly to the roof, then less - but for that you also need a concrete plan. I would now simply suggest a classic concrete ceiling according to static requirements. Waterproofing on top and then photovoltaic with weights.

Yup, there is currently statics with sandwich panels. With 24cm walls that’s not a problem. Ideally there is thermal insulation since the garage is also used in winter. Therefore pure concrete would not be ideal, or I would have to insulate separately.

Sorry, I don’t quite understand your answer: how far this entire building mass would be aligned with the boundary (?) -> What?

Well, how far the edges of the building stand away from the property boundaries, of course. Buildings privileged to the boundary have height limits, and the total length of boundary walls is also limited (usually 9 + 6 = 15 m).

Why not just have the technical surface also as the roofing? -> sure, if you know exactly how you design the roof. It can be wood, steel, concrete, sandwich panel, etc.

The roof construction is something completely different again. I meant: why for example solar panels on the roofing instead of as roofing?

All right, distances don't matter, I am on the construction site and could also build a 1.5-story building there. The property is quite large.

hmm you mean the roof made of solar panels. I want to have some insulation on top and can it be sealed? I've never heard of that except for carports or terrace roofs.
