I've had a couple people ask me how to install Uni-Solar's flexible
thin film laminate PVL product line on a metal roof. The unique part of
Uni-Solar PVL product is it can be bonded directly to a metal roof
between the ridges.
Traditional solar panels would need racking and
mounting components that are not required with a uni-solar PVL
installation, therefore installing the laminate reduces balance of
system costs. Also these thin film laminates are extremely durable
since they are not made of glass like traditional solar panels.
I
think the uni-solar product line works well when you have a lot of
surface area to work with, aesthetics is a major concern in the
project, or have a shady/cloudy project since thin film solar panels
perform better than crystalline solar panels in those conditions. The
video below is a good overview of how these unique thin film solar
panels can be installed on a metal roof. What do you think about the
uni-solar PVL thin film flexible solar panels?
