Rooftop safety – Fall protection AeroFix Latch

When it comes to occupational safety in relation to PV, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the complex and costly scaffolding of the building that is required for safe installation on a pitched or flat roof. But that’s not all. Work on the roof itself, for maintenance etc., must also be secured. That’s why we have our AeroFix Latch fall protection system, which is the subject of today’s article.  (more…)

Maximum flexibility and durability – Our mounting systems

IBC AeroFix G3

One component of solar systems that is not often in the spotlight, but is nevertheless very important for the quality and stability of a system, is the mounting system. For this reason, we would like to present the portfolio of our in-house mounting systems and their many advantages today. Because in addition to quick installation, they are also characterised by durability and stability. (more…)

Precise adaptability for any roof

The strongest trend in photovoltaic solutions in recent months is “flexibility”. The announced investments in the creation of energy storage are called a flexible alternative for grid operators; the ultra-flexible form is synonymous with perovskites. And now also the new IBC AeroFix G3 flat roof mounting system, which the brand calls “maximum flexibility”. Let us clarify then – what is the flexibility of in this particular case? – An interview with our colleagues in Poland about IBC AeroFix G3. (more…)

PV flat roof systems in the wind tunnel test

Before mounting systems are allowed to be installed, they must comply with corresponding standards, including EN 1991-1-4. Beside all the specifications regarding statics, materials, etc., this standard, including the national annex, contains specific information about wind loads to which PV systems and their mounting systems on roofs are exposed. In times of increasingly strong storms and even hurricanes this is indispensable for safety and must be included in the development. That is why the solar industry relies on so-called wind tunnel tests to keep the ballast of roof-penetration-free flat roof systems as low as necessary. In this blog entry, we explain how these tests are structured and what needs to be taken into account. (more…)

IBC AeroFix G3 – The new IBC SOLAR mounting system

Our in-house mounting system IBC AeroFix has been part of IBC SOLAR for almost a decade now. From the very beginning, a lot of work, time and heart and soul went into the development. And the effort was worth it, because our mounting system for flat roofs has proven over the years what it is made of. From its stability in the strongest storms to its fast assembly. To date, the total output of the system has reached an estimated 600 MWp, primarily in the commercial segment, of course. And the trend is rising, because we are constantly developing the system further – recently with the new IBC AeroFix G3. (more…)
