As part of the Flemish PV obligation, Plastivan decided to completely renovate their existing company roof. After all, companies with an electricity purchase of more than 1 GWh per year are obliged to install solar panels by April 1, 2026. But for such an investment, a reliable roof structure is essential. That's why Plastivan called in our renovation specialists from Tectum Constructors.
The total roof area was 11,300 m². The project was tackled in two major parts:
In addition, 175 running meters of skylights were renewed, providing more natural light and better airtightness in the building.
Plastivan NV from Oostrozebeke had their entire company roof renovated in function of a large-scale solar panel installation. The works were done in full production, without interruption of the activities, and make the building completely ready for the Flemish PV obligation.

One of the client's main requirements was that production should remain fully operational during the works. Thanks to tightly phased planning, appropriate safety measures and close consultation with the customer, we were able to achieve this, without compromising on quality.
Although there are no specific legal requirements for the condition of the roof when installing solar panels, it is highly recommended to thoroughly check the roof structure and waterproofing before installation. A PV installation typically remains in place for 25 to 30 years. If repairs are needed later, this becomes much more complex and costly due to the presence of the panels. Plastivan therefore opted for a well thought-out renovation, so that the roof is completely ready for solar energy, both technically and practically.
