From theory to practice: Solar energy for climate neutrality - what will the roofs of the future look like? Panel discus

Together, we want to talk about how the ambitious goals of climate neutrality can be implemented professionally and consistently in practice with the help of solar energy. Who the main players on the roof are or should be and how important the topic of energy-efficient renovation will be in the coming years and, of course, how important the topic of quality is - both in terms of the product and the workmanship.

Michael Zimmermann, Vice President ZVDH - "The roofing trade is making a decisive contribution to the climate transition, especially by using roofs as an energy supplier. It is crucial that all work is carried out professionally. This is the only way to ensure that the roofs of the future are durable and that an investment in energy-efficient renovation and solar energy remains profitable. As a roofing trade, we bear a great responsibility for this task."

Rolf Fuhrmann, Deputy Managing Director ZVDH - "In addition to the goals of climate neutrality, training and further education are also important for the roofs of the future. We need qualified young roofers who are familiar with modern technologies and we need to make our roofing companies fit for the new challenges. This includes breaking new ground in training formats and developing suitable further training courses for roofers, such as the PV manager for the roofing trade."

Christian Sack, Director of Surface Sales at BMI Germany - "Roof tradesmen and building owners need reliable products and services for the roofs of the future. The industry supplies long-proven, sustainable roof solutions that are easy to install and offer building owners a high level of safety. As an industry, it is our joint task to create future-proof roofs."

Udo Wagner, Technology Director BMI Germany - "Green, solar, retention, living space... A roof without additional benefits is not a roof of the future."
