La removal of asbestos is a fundamental step for the safety of buildings and the health of those who live and work in them. In recent years, regulations in Italy have become increasingly stringent, requiring the replacement of asbestos cement, especially when the decision is made to install a photovoltaic system. Heiwit offers itself as a reliable partner for companies and private individuals who want to remove asbestos from their roofs and replace it with photovoltaic panels, taking care of the costs of removing the asbestos.

Why is it Necessary to Remove Eternit?

Eternit, a material consisting mainly of asbestos, was widely used in the past for the construction of roofs and roofing. However, over the years it has been discovered that asbestos fibres can be extremely dangerous to health, causing serious respiratory diseases and, in some cases, cancer.

For this reason, Italian law requires the removal of asbestos from roofs. Legislative Decree 81/2008 stipulates that employers must assess the presence of asbestos in buildings and take action to remove it when necessary, especially if work such as the installation of a photovoltaic system is planned.

The Removal of Eternit to Install a Photovoltaic System

The installation of a photovoltaic system on an asbestos roof is not possible by law. Current regulations, such as the Ministerial Decree of 14 January 2008, require the removal of any asbestos present before proceeding with the installation of solar systems. This means that if a company or individual wishes to switch to solar energy, the asbestos must first be removed from the roof.

The removal of asbestos has costs that often discourage building owners from proceeding with the installation of a photovoltaic system. And this is where Heiwit can make a difference.
