Flat roofs are limited to sustain heavy solar systems. Moreover, installations can damage bituminous and foil-sealed roofs. IBC AeroFix offers a PV mounting system especially developed for flat roofs with a low load capacity. The new, self-supporting system consists of corrosion resistant aluminum and stainless steel as well as a non-slip protective membrane. The installation of IBC AeroFix does not require any screw fitting with the roof, so the roof skin remains totally intact. The features of IBC AeroFix allow for all available surfaces on flat roofs to take advantage of solar power especially those unable to withstand additional ballast. IBC AeroFix offers a reduction in weight and price
The aerodynamically-optimized IBC AeroFix showed impressive results in wind tests conducted by a German wind engineering society (Windtechnologische Gesellschaft e.V.) and meets the German Institute for Building Technology’s guidelines. The versatile PV mounting systems shows its strengths, particularly in East-West installations. Installers enjoy easier access to the cables and connectors on the back of the modules thanks to the V-shaped elevation. The module array can be completed with both a rear wall and an additional row of modules, which allows for optimal use of existing surfaces.
IBC AeroFix is available in three different versions and suitable for a wide variety of PV system sizes and roof alignments. The PV system is suitable for modules with a width of 950 to 1000 mm and a length of 1630 to 170 mm. It can be combined with the building-authority approved components of the IBC TopFix 200 mounting system. IBC SOLAR offers a 10-year guarantee for IBC AeroFlix which is available at all IBC SOLAR Premium Partners.
Iris Meyer , Marketing elective says when buying solar technologies, the PV plants have to work constantly for some years to generate a payback on the investment. Therefore, especially in areas with military conflicts, the investment in PV plants is very unsecure and not attractive to investors.
