Simple and reliable solar energy

The panel of plastic light weight integrated in the roof offers multiple functions. This panel from a single piece can be installed directly on the substructure of the roof of a building, rather than on a traditional roof, combines several functions and uses a new method of subject.

Once the plastic panel has attached to the substructure of the roof on four points, the only step remaining is introduce strong module with double glazing in the precision of the panel mounting system and establish its position through an integrated latch. Series Schott Protect photovoltaic module uses a proven technology of double glazing that offers reliable protection against rain, hail and other adverse weather conditions. To ensure the safe handling of double glazing module, it is equipped in its rear handles also made of Ultramid. This facilitates the transport of the photovoltaic module, its placement on the edges of the integrated support of plastic panel, and at the same time, its rapid fixation at the four points of mooring and without using tools, simply slide the module in the mechanism of interlocking panel (Click & Go). In addition, new connection of bayonet and the coupling without screws to the panel offers an automatic compensation of tolerance. The same panel is stackable and therefore reduces to the maximum volume to carry.

The canaletas integrated cheese cheese in the signpost guarantee that the drainage of the water of rain realise easily. The canaletas additional in the structure of the signpost facilitate the installation of the electrical cables. Thanks to the big opening of the centre of the signpost, the piece of plastic of the photovoltaic module of 1,7 m² weighs so only 8 kg and has a suitable back ventilation. As in the case of knit them of the traditional roofs, the edges are specifically designed and allow his superposición with adjacent modules to attain a greater protection against the rain.

The signpost of plastic of ones of 1,2 x 2,0 m supposed a challenge for the resin of engineering (polyamide) and for the design of the piece: the long grooves and the walls, in fine occasions, requires the utilisation of a resin of easy flow to produce the piece by means of a process of moldeo by traditional injection. By this, the engineers of development of applications of BASF recommended Ultramid B High Speed, one of the new degrees of flow especially easy in the rank of polyamide 6. The good characteristics of flow of the resin together with the opening of the signpost help to reduce the expenses of manufacture: can process in machines of moldeo by injection employing an effort of tighten minor.

Another of the additional advantages of the special degree Ultramid for this piece is his tenacity. To bear a strong solar radiation, the resin has to present besides a high resistance even to high temperatures, as well as an exceptional resistance so much to the rays UV as to the intemperie. Regarding his reaction to the fire, Ultramid B High Speed fulfils with the necessary criteria for this type of applications of the construction (class of material B2).
