Next Generation PV Roof Mount Solution For Fibre Cement Roofs Launched
The Solar Building Company Ltd (SBC) has just launched their next generation mounting solution for fibre cement roofs "“ PVOverRoof Series 2.
While the use of hanger bolts is now effectively banned by MCS in February, PVOverRoof offers a completely secure solution for mounting PV onto fibre cement roofs.
"We developed the original system some 2 years ago and in that time have deployed in excess of 5MW of the PVOverRoof mostly on barns" commented Dr. Clive Weatherby, Technical Director of SBC. "PVOverRoof Series 2 is a logical progression with a more modular based system suitable for all module types using a refined bespoke aluminium extrusion which allows quick installation".
An installation utilising PVOverRoof Series 2 is cost comparable to the now outlawed hanger bolt solution. A benefit with PVOverRoof is maintaining roof sheet warranty where PVOverRoof is endorsed by major roof sheet manufacturers Marley and Eternit. The system also comes with a 25 year performance guarantee against leaks.
PVOverRoof also allows mounting of PV onto building roofs where roof sheeting or purlin strength does not allow direct loading by the PV support structure.
