The manufacturer of the Swiss mounting system has added new safety functions to its pre-mounted, foldable Smartsolarbox solution for flat roofs and temporary sites, as well as support for larger 600 W modules.
The Smartvolt of the Swiss mounting system Smartvolt has added lightning safety to its pre-mounted, foldable Smartsolarbox solution for installers of flat roofs and temporary sites. It now also supports 600 W modules and offers a confirmable certified anchor system for fall protection.
“The Smartsolarbox is the only foldable solar system with Lightning Current Capability ex Works and Retrofittable Fall Protection,” said Andreas Fankhauser, Smartvolt CEO, in a statement, adding that it had to be applied earlier.
The solution for installers includes substerces, prefabricated concrete ballast elements, solar panels in an angle of 10 degrees in an East-West orientation and cabling. Design software is also available to support the configuration.
The parts are shipped in advance. With wiring and ballast connections, to the site of the customers on recoverable pallets. A tap brings the Smartsolarbox components to the roof, whereby the installation team unfolds the arrays to complete the installation with only a wireless screwdriver.
Patented in Europe, the solution offers the portability and convenience of dismantling. It is suitable for roofs of temporary buildings, such as on containers -based project offices that are used at construction sites, renovations or seasonal locations.
It is compatible with flat roofs made of foil, bitumen or gravel with a slope up to 5 degrees. Storage and charging infrastructure, module optimalizers and module formers are options.
Installers can order the Smartsolarbox directly from Smartvolt or with its recognized European partners.
The system was originally launched in 2015. It was reportedly installed by customers in German speaking regions of Europe, as well as in Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. Earlier projects include small PV systems mounted on the ground at the basis of wind turbines.
