Laminated Modules

Self-adhesive panels that lighten the load

Lamination detail
Laminated solar panels are the perfect solution for rooftops that cannot support much additional load and cannot have penetrations required to secure a solar-electric system to a roof. Laminate Modules are rectangular sheets of lightweight thin-film photovoltaic material encapsulated in UV-stabilized, weather-resistant polymers, with a self-adhesive backing. Dollar-for-dollar, Laminated Modules are more efficient than standard crystalline panels, but because they are less efficient per unit area, they require more space.

Key features

Easy to install using conventional roofing techniques. Laminated Modules typically installed on a sacrificial roof-membrane layer, which overlays the primary roof membrane
Sacrificial layer provides added protection to roof and allows for efficient installation, service, maintenance, and repair
Laminated Modules are flexible, which allows for bonding to most types of roofing
Array is lightweight and requires no penetrations
Appropriate for rooftops that have minimal additional load capacity
Superior performance at high temperatures
Excellent performance in low light conditions and partially shade
Delivers more power per dollar, resulting in a lower cost of electricity
No racking required for installation, reducing overall installation time
Contains no glass, impact resistant
Installed along with a wire management system that covers and protect all wiring and connections throughout the array

Technical Requirements

Laminated Modules produce less power per unit area than crystalline panels and require more space for the same output.
Roof must have a maximum slope of 60 degrees
Roof must have a minimum slope of 3 degrees and no pooling water
