Safety on
roofs is a major issue throughout Europe. There are different regulations and guidelines that cause a lot of uncertainty. Preising and IBC SOLAR now collaborate offering their customers a unique safety system for the maintenance of PV systems on the flat roof: a fall protection device, the AeroFix Latch (more…)
The Ironman for photovoltaic panels takes place every day in our own quality control laboratory. After all: We only offer the very best IBC SOLAR modules! In order to receive this distinction, the panels must pass a series of endurance tests. In the second article in the series, we will present the insulation resistance test under wet conditions.
