Standing Seam Metal Roof With Integrated Solar Panels

The series connection of modules is made under the roof sheeting between the battens.

Standing seam metal roof with integrated solar panels.

Solar metal roofing the most common type of solar metal roofing is the standing seam metal roof with integrated unisolar pv laminates. Integrating your standing seam metal roof with thin film pv solar laminates simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Colonial seam continuous standing seam metal roof panel with an integral seam. Metal roofing and more proseam is a standing seam metal roof panel suitable for residential commercial and light industrial properties.

Standing seam metal roofing is defined as a concealed fastener metal panel system that features vertical legs and a broad flat area between the two legs. For standing seam roofs the solar panels simply clamp onto the seam where two panels are connected. Solar installation on a classic metal roof traditional solar panels can be integrated nicely with our metal roofs. It s also described as having raised seams or vertical legs that rise above the level of the panel s flat area.

The installation is as easy as the installation of standard standing seam metal roof. In that case the pv system is actually integrated into the building design and is almost unnoticeable on the roof. Unisolar pv laminates were initially designed to fit in the pan of standing seam panels with the connection terminals concealed by the ridge cap. 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.

A standing seam metal roof integrated with solar panels is a powerful combination of durability longevity energy efficiency and most importantly value for the money. Metal roofing provides the best platform for the building integrated photovoltaic bipv system. With clip fastened standing seam roofs the panels can be clamped onto the raised seams so that no or very few actual roof penetrations are necessary. One of the latest technological innovations in solar metal roofing is the integration of thin film pv solar laminates with standing seam metal panels through the use of a peel and stick method.

Since there s little to no drilling through the roof potential leaking is not an issue like with asphalt shingles. The modules are available in three dimensions. Clipless one piece positive locking standing seam panel that provides a timeless roof appearance. Electricity is produced in a thin photovoltaic layer that covers the metal sheet.
