Aufdachsystem
An Aufdachsystem, often translated as a "roof-mounted system" or "on-roof system," refers to a construction or installation method where components are attached to the exterior surface of a roof. This is most commonly associated with photovoltaic (PV) solar energy systems, where solar panels are mounted directly onto the existing roof structure. Unlike integrated systems that replace roofing materials, Aufdachsysteme are typically installed over or on top of conventional roofing.
The primary advantage of an Aufdachsystem is its relative simplicity and cost-effectiveness compared to fully integrated
Considerations for an Aufdachsystem include the structural integrity of the roof to bear the additional weight
