Meet us at Intersolar 2023

It is this time of the year again: Intersolar Europe 2023 is coming up in mid-June and with it the most important industry meeting of the year. For us, the focus this year is clearly on quality. We will be presenting ourselves at our trade fair stand according to the Cradle to Cradle design principle in Hall A4, Stand A4.470 and A4.570 and will have exhibits in the three market segments Residential, Commercial & Industrial and Solar Parks. A special highlight is also the SUNLAB load table, which demonstrates live on the stand the endurance tests our modules have to pass.  (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…)
