IMPORTANT!

To build trust the tenant must know what is happing,

when, why & who – Stick to it!

Roof Panel non-Integration

A 'retro-fit' mounting system (also referred to

as 'on-roof' and 'non-integrated') is the

simplest and most cost-effective way of

installing a PV system on a building

The mounting system typically consists of a

series of horizontal rails, to which modules are

fixed by a series of clips. The rails are then held

to the roof by regularly-spaced mounts,

chosen to suit the roof type.

The installed retro-fit system runs parallel to the original

roof covering, with a small gap (approx. 50-100mm)

between the roof and the modules. An entry point for

the field cables is required at some point in the building,

but this can be in the most suitable location for

weatherproofing.

Recommendation

•Roof Structural surveys undertaken on sample archetype properties

•Modern day houses more likely to need interventions to strengthen

rafters

Carpe diem

“Our reach is limited by our vision. Our vision is

limited by our horizons and our horizons are set

by our ambitions”.

•Through the course of the project it

became clear to NWSI a manufacturer

who could diver :

•continuity of supply through a vertically

integrated product.

•High quality: The manufacturers of the

PV panels would need to use only top-

quality components from top-brand

companies in the PV industry.
