At agricultural and industrial locations, where every roof can generate energy, unsuitable structures or high reinforcement costs can often hinder the installation of the solar panel.
The French plastic plate provider Renolit Ondex has developed a mounting system that allows superponated installation to add to the roof without adding weight.
The system uses bi-oriented polyvinyl chloride (PVC) panels, manufactured by a patented process that the company invented in 1964, that the material extends in two directions at the same time.
Renolit Ondex said that the product is lighter than traditional metal or fiber cement supports, with a weight of 2.4 kg per square meter compared to 7 kg for steel and up to 17 kg for fiber cement, reducing or eliminated the need for structural reinforcement.
The BI orientation process improves the impact resistance, making the panels four times stronger than conventional PVC, the company said. The material also lowers the temperatures under PV panels, which improves efficiency.
The panels are opposed to corrosion and exposure to chemical and are fire -resistant, in the case of fire without producing drops.
Once installed, PV panels are protected using systems that are tailor -made to different configurations: the Fix O Bat system for industrial and agricultural roofs and the Fix O Ser system for greenhouses and lightweight structures.
Renolit Ondex offers a 10 -year warranty for the product.
