Kalzip SolarClad: design flexibility and low weight
The retrofit solution for all metal roofs – light and flexible
Kalzip SolarClad is a roof-mounted alternative solar solution that can be installed as part of a new build development or retro-fitted onto existing Kalzip standing seam roofing and cladding. The PV laminates consist of extremely robust amorphous silicon thin-film modules attached to aluminium carrier panels to ensure a quick, high quality installation without penetrating the Kalzip aluminium standing seam sheets. Kalzip SolarClad panels can also be conventionally mounted onto other system elements such as trapezoidal sheets. The lightweight units are suitable for most roof shapes, allowing architects complete design flexibility.
Product advantages:
- Amorphous thin-film laminates for lasting efficient utilisation.
- Up to 20% higher energy yields than crystalline modules due to triple-junction technology.
- High shading tolerance due to tight bypass circuitry.
- Suitable for all standing seam systems and varieties due to variable fastening system.
- Cost-effective PV solution for new building projects with Kalzip standard cover widths.
- High economic efficiency due to quick, non-penetrative installation.
- Environmentally friendly due to short energy payback time – less than one year.
- Simple structural calculations for Kalzip roofs.
- Improved heat protection in summer due to roof shading.
- Many different installation options for maximum power density and optimised yields.
- Ideal for all roof shapes, contour-hugging for barrel vaulted roofs of up to a minimum 13 m radius of curvature.
