Photovoltaic panel roof welding

What is a roof solar photovoltaic?

It has an excellent carbon footprint because its production requires very little grey energy. The Roof-Solar TPO photovoltaic process uses 95% aluminium. This metal has many advantages including being light, strong, recyclable and highly resistant to corrosion.

Can solar panels be mechanically fixed to a flat roof?

When you specify a photovoltaic array for your flat roof, there is the option of either mechanically fixing the array, or alternatively using ballast to weigh it down without fixing into the structure. In this article we will look at the options for mechanically fixing solar panels to a flat roof and make the case for an engineered solution.

Can the PV racking system be used with other commercial roofing assemblies?

The PV racking system is not to be used with any other commercial roofing assembly other than a Sika PVC roof assembly. The system also ofers the only single-source warranty for both the roof assembly and the racking system up to 20 years. ***covers both the Sika PVC roofing assembly and the PV racking system.

Are roof-solar TPO photovoltaic mounting systems reliable?

A resistant solution, the Roof-Solar TPO photovoltaic mounting has undergone several tests to be certified by a New Technology Survey (Enquête de Technique Nouvelle – ETN) by Alpes Contrôles: resistance to climatic loads, watertightness, condensation, corrosion resistance. All the results of these tests show the reliability of this mounting system.

What is roof-solar TPO?

Roof-Solar TPO allows solar panels to be installed on the roof in such a way that the added load on the building structure is as low as possible. The pre-assembled rails with the TPO retaining strips are thermally welded to the TPO synthetic membrane. Ballasting is therefore not required.

How does the Sika Solaroof system work?

The Sika SolaRoof system works differently than other solar systems. Instead of securing into the metal roof deck or using heavy ballast, it uses PVC injection molded “clicks”. These clicks are attached to the sides of the steel mount and fused to the Sika PVC roof membrane using hot-air. This method eliminates leaks from screw penetrations and mount shifting in heavy winds.
