Advantages and benefits for the roof
LIGHTWEIGHT
The module weighs 7.3 kg, corresponding to 3.27 kg/m² (without the substrate membrane), and accordingly, is ideal for renovations and repairs where roof structures are unable to support additional loads.
NO HOLES, FRAME OR BALLAST ON THE ROOF
The General Solar PV system uses a non-penetrating, adhesive method of installation: no holes, no ballasts. With no frame components, there is no overloading of the roof structure and no stress induced by wind uplift (sail effect).
INTEGRATED PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM
Being completely integrated onto the waterproofing of the roof, the system is suitable for installation on buildings subject to landscape constraints.
NO GLASS
The General Solar PV module contains no glass and is therefore less sensitive to shocks. In addition, the opaque surface coating ensures anti-reflective behaviour.
FLEXIBLE
Flexibility allows adaptation of the General Solar PV system to any type of building, i.e. vaulted roof, industrial shed, and even to structures of more complex geometry.
RESISTANT TO HAIL
The system has passed the hail resistance test without any sign of functional damage or impairment of performance in terms of power output (IEC 61215).
WALKABILITY
The protective coating applied to the modules ensures that they are walkable, both during installation and when carrying out routine maintenance on the panels once in service.
SELF-CLEANING
The special surface coating adopted for the product is such that the PV module will be kept generally clean by the normal run-off of rainwater.
FIRE CERTIFICATION
The General Solar PV system responds to the requirements of fire resistance according the Broof standards.
SPEED OF INSTALLATION
General Solar PV system ensure a quick installation and therefore a greater quantity of kWp can be installed per unit of time compared to the traditional system.
WARRANTY
General Solar PV offers the following warranties:
• 12 years on defects of manufacture (PV panel)
• Guaranteed minimum electrical power output (at least 84.8% after 25 years)
