Installation of 28 solar panels in Schuttrange
A standard mounting system was not suitable for this home’s vegetated flat roof. We therefore designed a purpose-built solution before installing 28 AIKO Neostar panels with a total capacity of approximately 13 kWp, together with a Huawei inverter and a 15 kWh battery.

The project challenge
A vegetated flat roof that required a purpose-built mounting solution.
The main challenge was not simply where to place the panels. We first had to determine how to secure them to a roof that was unsuitable for a conventional installation.
The project began with a detailed roof assessment
Our technicians analysed the roof configuration, the usable areas and the existing technical elements. Based on this assessment, we planned the layout of the 28 panels and selected a mounting method suited to the existing substrate.
The required work areas were then prepared individually. Bituminous membrane sheets were heat-welded to create anchor points for the hooks and rails supporting the photovoltaic panels.
This level of preparation and execution is what sets this project apart from a standard photovoltaic installation.
- Assessment of a vegetated flat roof unsuitable for a standard installation.
- Panel layout adapted to the roof penetrations and available area.
- A mounting system designed specifically for this roof configuration.

These photographs show the roof preparation and the creation of the mounting points before the rails and panels were installed.
Installed configuration
An integrated photovoltaic system designed for a modern home.
For this project, we paired AIKO panels with a Huawei inverter and battery. The system was designed around the home’s consumption profile, including its electric vehicle.
Solar generation
AIKO Neostar panels
28 panelsThe 28 modules provide a total capacity of approximately 13 kWp. Their layout was adapted to the available roof area and the existing technical elements.
Conversion and management
Huawei SUN2000-12K-MB0
12 kW three-phaseThis hybrid inverter converts the electricity generated and connects the system components within the Huawei ecosystem.
Energy storage
Huawei LUNA2000 S1
15 kWhWe selected this capacity based on the home’s consumption profile and electrical uses, including its electric vehicle.
Why a 15 kWh battery for this project?
The household has an electric vehicle, so battery storage was considered as part of its overall electricity use rather than selected solely on the basis of the photovoltaic array’s capacity. This sizing is specific to this home and should not be treated as a standard recommendation for every household.
Local expertise
An Ecoclima solar installation in Schuttrange.
Not every flat or vegetated roof can use the same solution. For this project, we assessed the building, the existing substrate and the roof constraints before selecting the mounting method and equipment.
A mounting system suited to the roof
We select the mounting system after assessing the existing substrate.
A battery sized around actual usage
Storage capacity must reflect the home’s electricity use, including its electric vehicle.
Performance measured over time
Production, self-consumption and savings should be assessed using the installation’s actual data.
Questions about this project
Installing solar panels on a flat roof: FAQ
Why was a standard solar panel installation unsuitable for this home in Schuttrange?
The home has a vegetated flat roof whose configuration did not allow a standard mounting system to be used directly. We therefore assessed the roof and designed a purpose-built mounting solution before installing the panels.
How were the panels secured to this vegetated flat roof?
Bituminous membrane sheets were heat-welded to the prepared areas to create anchor points. The hooks and rails supporting the panels were then secured to this structure.
What is the installed photovoltaic capacity?
The installation includes 28 AIKO Neostar panels with a total capacity of approximately 13 kWp. Annual production and self-consumption can then be assessed using the system’s actual monitoring data.
What equipment was installed for this project?
We installed 28 AIKO Neostar panels, a Huawei SUN2000-12K-MB0 three-phase hybrid inverter and a Huawei LUNA2000 S1 battery with a capacity of 15 kWh.
Why install a 15 kWh battery in a home with an electric vehicle?
The home’s electric vehicle was one of the electrical uses considered when sizing the system. Battery capacity should nevertheless always be based on the actual consumption profile, when electricity is used and the homeowner’s objectives.
Can solar panels be installed on every flat or vegetated roof?
Not automatically. Feasibility depends on the structure, roof build-up, available area and building constraints. A technical assessment is required before a mounting method can be selected.
