It is important for all installations that the solar energy system is securely fixed to the roof – and every roof has its own specific requirements. I would like to take the opportunity with this and other blog entries on the subject of “mounting systems” to present the typical mounting options to PV plant operators and installers for the most frequent roof types and give them recommendations.

Thanks to their high level of prefabrication and a modular construction structure, our mounting systems IBC TopFix 200 for pitched roofs and IBC AeroFix for flat roofs are able to be installed on the rooftop with surprising speed. To make the assembly even easier now, we have expanded our services for our Premium Partners and have met a request previously expressed by many of them: installation tutorials in video format.

We have given our tried-and-tested IBC solar power calculator an extensive update just in time for Intersolar 2016 which now makes planning new solar energy systems even simpler and more efficient. You can now select your own roof through a satellite map view in order to use the roof surface data for a more precise initial calculation. This new improved version makes it possible to interact with the roof surface: The surface can be marked in a user-friendly manner and modules can be selected or – for example with windows – excluded. The precise angular alignment of the surface can now be included in the performance description. The new simple and user-friendly user interface shows the savings potential as well as performance and power consumption calculations in clear graphics with detailed profiles. (more…)
Anybody wanting to successfully run a farm in dry, hot areas across Europe, Africa, India or Asia is heavily reliant on sophisticated water management. In addition to the less efficient hand irrigation procedure which is still prevalent in many development areas, motor pumps are generally used. In India, for example, around 50 percent of arable land managed by small farmers was irrigated with motor pumps in 2012. (more…)
How long does it take to set up mounting systems for photovoltaic systems? We entered our IBC AeroFix into a race test conducted by the specialist magazine Photovoltaik. (more…)
