Standing Seam Metal Roof With Integrated Solar Panels

The modules are available in three dimensions.

Standing seam metal roof with integrated solar panels. Metal roofing provides the best platform for the building integrated photovoltaic bipv system. Thin film pv systems are flexible lightweight and adhere directly to the pan of a metal standing seam roof. 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. The series connection of modules is made under the roof sheeting between the battens.

Solar metal roofing the most common type of solar metal roofing is the standing seam metal roof with integrated unisolar pv laminates. Since there s little to no drilling through the roof potential leaking is not an issue like with asphalt shingles. 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. The installation is as easy as the installation of standard standing seam metal roof.
