The simple answer is don't bury polyiso underground, and don't use it where it will be likely to encounter bulk water (such as the lower edge in a puddle in a basement). . Is it okay to add insulation to the bottom of the photovoltaic panel Is it okay to add insulation to the bottom of the photovoltaic panel Should solar panels be insulated? Insulation ensures uniform savings throughout the day,while savings deriving from PV depend on solar radiation and day-hour. Before you dismiss it as a "cheap hack," let's peel back the layers of this unconventional approach that's sparking debates from Texas. . Proper attic insulation helps regulate the temperature in your home, increasing energy efficiency and reducing your utility bills. It comes in standard-size 4×8 sheets and smaller sizes, in thicknesses from 1/4-in.
