A biosolar roof is one that has installed both vegetation and solar panels on the top of a building. Does the presence of one obstruct the other, or do they in fact enhance each other? The answer is the latter, explain Peter Irga, Fraser Torpy, Eamonn Wooster, Charles Sturt, Robert Fleck at the University of Technology Sydney and Jack Rojahn at the University of Canberra who summarise their study.

Growing city populations and limited space are driving the adoption of green roofs and green walls covered with living plants. As well as boosting biodiversity, green roofs could play another unexpectedly valuable role by increasing the electricity output of solar panels. As solar panels heat up beyond 25℃, their efficiency decreases markedly. Green roofs moderate rooftop temperatures. So we wanted to find out: could green roofs help with the problem of heat reducing the output of solar panels?
