Standing Seam Metal Roof With Integrated Solar Panels

Unisolar panels are 15 5 inches wide and fit perfectly into a 16 standing seam panels and are attached or laminated with special butyl adhesive that is on the back of each uni solar pv panel.

Standing seam metal roof with integrated solar panels.

The real issue is which one of the two most popular solar rooftop photovoltaic pv technologies you will recommend for your project the more traditional crystalline photovoltaic array or the more flexible pv laminate thin film systems. The best part about standing seam is that it s proven to last in pretty much any climate while providing superior durability longevity and energy savings. Uni solar is the most well known manufacturer of thin film solar for standing seam roofs. Colonial seam continuous standing seam metal roof panel with an integral seam.

The snapnrack line of roof solar mounting systems is designed to reduce total installation costs. Metal roofing provides the best platform for the building integrated photovoltaic bipv system. Unisolar thin film pv laminates were originally designed to fit into and be integrated with standing seam metal roof panels. Proseam is a standing seam metal roof panel suitable for residential commercial and light industrial properties.

Installation of solar metal roofing consists of cleaning the inside of the metal roof panel applying and rolling in the solar pv laminate installing the metal roofing panels and connecting circuitry at top of roof under ridge cap. Thin film pv systems are flexible lightweight and adhere directly to the pan of a metal standing seam roof. Standing seam is great for mounting of the pv solar panels no need to drill any holes in the roof as pv panels are mounted onto the seams of the metal roof with the help of s 5 brackets. I think as a designer you ll agree that a standing seam metal roof is a choice location for a solar rooftop photovoltaic application.

Based on the long established principle of fully supported metal roofing the panels are secretly fixed with no penetrative or through fasteners offering a completely watertight roof system. Unlike conventional solar panels thin film solar on metal roofs lays flat against the roof in direct contact. This allows your solar installation to look discrete and natural. In that case the pv system is actually integrated into the building design and is almost unnoticeable on the roof.

With a conventional roof such as asphalt shingles you would need to drill holes into the roof in order to mount the panels. Attach solar panels and rails directly to standing seam metal roofs without drilling. This standing seam metal roof solar panel mounting system features technical innovations proven on more than 350 mw of solar projects to simplify installation and.
