PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR PANELS ON INDUSTRIAL ROOF PANELS

At Globe Panels, we are committed to the idea of clean energy. Therefore, in this blog post, we will talk about photovoltaic solar panels.

A decade ago, Europe discovered that photovoltaic panels could be perfectly placed on roof insulated metal panels. The idea was simple: every year, factories sold over 10 million square meters of insulated metal panels for roofs. So, those roofs were the perfect place to host hundreds of thousands of watts of solar panels. The idea was brilliant, and it worked well in most cases.

IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW BEFORE INSTALLING SOLAR PANELS ON THE INDUSTRIAL ROOF

Unfortunately, there is an element that caused problems of water leaking in many cases. It screws the solar panel structure on the roof. Let’s see how it happened and how we can solve it using a special insulated metal panel for the roof.

Actually, in an ideal world, one can install a metal structure over a sandwich panel for the roof, without causing a leak. In the real world, it becomes more complicated. Even if the installation is perfect, with time passing, metal sheets will dilate, and gaskets and sealant will likely dry up. That will mean that with time, the rainwater will find its way through the roof into the building.

SOLUTION THAT HELPS TO AVOID WATER LEAKING PROBLEM ON THE INDUSTRIAL INSULATED ROOF

The answer to this issue is using a specific insulated metal panel for the roof that can host the solar panels by using special brackets. These brackets will stick to the ribs of the insulated roof panel without perforating it, therefore avoiding any source of water leaks. Of course, that type of insulated metal panel for the roof is more expensive than the normal one. But when you compare the cost of fixing the water leaks with the price of the solar insulated roof panel, then you’ll find you can save up to 10 times by installing the correct type of roof from the very beginning.

ADVANTAGES OF THE SYSTEM FOR THE INSTALLATION OF PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES

Here is the complete GLOBE SUN PLUS solution:
– Firstly, its main advantage: essential design
– Secondly, no costly supporting structure
– Thirdly, no additional gasket
– There is no need to use expensive aluminum profiles
– Quick installation of the photovoltaic modules: components are fastened by snapping them into the brackets
– A pre-insulated roof that can be fitted without drilling any holes
– Finally, the light-weight of the GLOBE SUN PLUS system compared to a traditional roof covering. Therefore, it offers higher performance in all of its applications.

GLOBE SUN PLUS offers a complete, low-cost solution thanks to savings in terms of material and installation time. The GLOBE SUN PLUS system also provides all the accessories needed for the installation of the photovoltaic modules. Looking towards the future: you can cover a roof or facade using GLOBE SUN PLUS panels today and decide to install a photovoltaic system in the future.

BEST APPLICATION

Ideal for use on a facade or roof, and thanks to the use of an inclined structure, the modules can also be mounted on roof pitches that do not face south and thus are typically not used. Fast installation thanks to the use of accessories such as support profiles, clamps, and junction triangles, which can all be clipped onto the roof covering without the need to drill holes into it; this makes the GLOBE SUN PLUS system the best solution for roof coverings with photovoltaic modules.
