BIPV Mounting System Detailed Specifications

Key Components and Specifications:

Materials:

–

Aluminum: Often anodized (AL6005-T5) for corrosion resistance. 

–

Steel: Typically, galvanized steel (e.g., SuperDyma) for enhanced strength and corrosion protection. 

–

Stainless Steel: Used for fasteners and other components. 

Design Standards:

–

Compliance with relevant standards like AS/NZS 1170 and EN50583 for structural integrity and safety. 

Wind and Snow Load:

–

Rated for specific wind speeds (e.g., up to 60 m/s) and snow loads (e.g., 1.4 KN/M2). 

Lifespan:

–

Typically designed for a service life of 25 years or more, with warranties often ranging from 10 to 15 years. 

Installation:

–

Ease of Installation: Many systems are designed for pre-assembly and quick installation, minimizing on-site labor. 

–

Waterproofing: Crucial for roofing applications, with features like drainage channels and sealing strips to prevent leaks. 

–

Adjustable Tilt Angles: Allow for optimization of solar energy capture. 

Module Compatibility:

–

Designed to accommodate various framed and frameless PV modules. 

Aesthetics:

–

BIPV systems can enhance a building’s appearance, especially when integrated into the facade or roof design.

Specific

Examples:

–

Rooftop Mounting: BIPV systems can replace traditional roofing materials, offering a waterproof and aesthetically pleasing solution. 

–

Facade Systems: BIPV can be integrated into curtain walls or other facade elements, providing both energy generation and hermal insulation. 

–

Carports: BIPV canopies can provide shade and generate electricity in parking areas. 

Additional Considerations:

–

Bifacial Compatibility: Some systems are designed to work with bifacial solar panels, which can capture light from both sides. 

–

Building Integration: BIPV systems are designed to be integral to the building’s structure, not just attached to it, unlike Building-Applied Photovoltaics (BAPV). 

–

Cost-Effectiveness: While BIPV systems can have a higher upfront cost, they can be more cost-effective in the long run due to their dual functionality and potential for reduced construction costs
