Thin Film Solar Standing Seam Roof

Solar energy solutions on a standing seam metal roof crystalline panels versus thin film laminates.

Thin film solar standing seam roof.

Unisolar thin film pv laminates were originally designed to fit into and be integrated with standing seam metal roof panels. They are made to fit standard standing seam metal roofing 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. Thin film solar panel manufacturer sunflare has released a new module that nestles in between seams of a metal standing seam roof the powerfit 20.

The 60 w cigs panels come with butyl adhesive backing that peel and stick to the metal roof. Sunflare s latest thin film solar module fits between seams of metal roof. Thin film pv solar laminates do not require any penetrations to be made to the roof and can be easily attached to standing seam panels using a revolutionary peel and stick method. As with all sunflare modules there is a bypass diode for each individual cell.

Approved for use in hurricane wind zones. Thin film pv systems are flexible lightweight and adhere directly to the pan of a metal standing seam roof. Enhanced durability can handle foot traffic. Rocks and hail will not damage output of 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. Thin film pv solar laminates are light weight and easy to install. In that case the pv system is actually integrated into the building design and is almost unnoticeable on the roof. The 60 w cigs panels come with butyl adhesive backing that peel and stick to the metal roof.

Metal roofing provides the best platform for the building integrated photovoltaic bipv system. Ideal for modern sips style construction and fast track residential projects proseam is available in a variety of panel widths depths and styles and in a range of different materials. When applied directly to a dark colored standing seam metal roof flexible thin film pv is hardly discernible. Thin film solar panel manufacturer sunflare has released a new module that nestles in between seams of a metal standing seam roof the powerfit 20.

Thin film panels come in pre made lengths of 18 feet 16 5 feet and 8 5 feet with a width of 16 inches specifically for standing seam roofs. I think as a designer you ll agree that a standing seam metal roof is a choice location for a solar rooftop photovoltaic application.
