SOLON SE will be introducing, with its SOLON SOLfixx, an innovative photovoltaic system specially designed for flat industrial roofs at this year’s Intersolar Europe, the world’s largest trade fair for solar technology on June 8-11 in Munich, Germany. The SOLON SOLfixx module and its substructure form a unit that can be installed quickly and easily without penetrating the roof sheeting. This system, which has been optimized for flat surfaces, provides extremely high yields per square meter and is well suited for roofs with a low loading capacity, especially those made of bituminous or plastic sheeting materials, for example.
The SOLON SOLfixx is the first product for flat roofs available on the market and certified by Germany’s TÜV where the module and substructure form one unit. The trough-shaped substructure is at first welded, guyed, or ballasted to the roof surface. The module is then attached to the trough by a simple clicking into place – no tools are required. The SOLON SOLfixx is a plug & play system, setting new standards in rapid and uncomplicated installation.
The extremely high energy yields provided by the SOLON SOLfixx are a result of its optimum utilization of surface area, its ten-degree tilt angle, and the high-quality SOLON modules with an efficiency of up to 14.7%. The new product can be used with all types of roof covering and on lightweight roofs with a minimum loading capacity reserve of 13.9 kg/m². There will also be special fastening solutions for bituminous and plastic sheeting. Another advantage of the SOLON SOLfixx: A cable duct does not have to be purchased separately because it is already integrated into the substructure. Furthermore, the mechanical installation of the system can be separated from the electrical installation, allowing roofers and electricians to work independently of one another.
