Firestone Roofing Systems and Photovoltaic (PV) Installations
When roofing systems are used as PV platforms, steps must be taken to protect the roofing system from membrane puncture, insulation compression, and premature aging. For all installations, contact the Firestone Roofing Solutions Department, 1-800-428-4511, at least 60 days prior to bid submittal, for a review of the roofing system’s compatibility with the proposed PV system.
