Send us a textOn this episode of the Soliverse Podcast, Peter sits down with Trygve Mongstad, physicist and CEO of Over Easy Solar, to unpack how vertical, prefab solar units are reshaping the future of flat rooftops—and why it’s time we rethink what solar looks like.From prefab bifacial panels to ballast-free installs and green roof compatibility, Trygve shares how Over Easy is bringing simplicity, beauty, and smarter design to the solar industry—one flat roof at a time.They discuss:🏗️ Why vertical bifacial panels may outperform south-facing systems🌱 How green roofs + vertical PV = Europe’s next gigawatt market⚡ Why “when” you generate power now matters more than “how much”🔩 The prefab edge: Simplifying solar design, logistics, and installation📊 Why most solar simulation tools fail at modeling vertical systems🏢 The untapped potential of Europe’s flat roofs👷‍♂️ How their planning tool delivers a full C&I design in <10 minutes🌍 What’s next for Europe’s rooftop market—and why AI may push demand even higherConnect with Trygve / Over Easy Solar:🌐 Website: https://www.overeasy.no🔗 LinkedIn – Trygve: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trygve-mongstad/Referenced Resources:📊 Simulation tools for vertical PV🏘️ EU green roof regulation data🛠️ Wind tunnel testing – Fraunhofer & Aachen InstituteConnect with Soliverse:🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6C2HVmlEcsFXJqzxlfT9uA?si=f7fe6e3ff9b441a5📨 Email: [email protected]🔗 LinkedIn – Peter: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterpongraczsaas/🔗 LinkedIn – Soliverse: https://www.linkedin.com/company/106534214/🌐 Website: https://soliverse.energySupport the show
