Unisolar PVL-68T

Description

Uni-Solar PVL-68T 68 Watt Laminate

The innovative UNI-SOLAR product line includes building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) a lightweight, flexible solar electric system designed to serve a dual purpose of roofing and power generation. It is also an ideal solution for new construction or re-roof situations.

SYSTEM FEATURES

• Architecturally pleasing systems that do not distract from the natural lines of the home
• Complete design freedom with ridge to eave coverage possible
• Solar panels are structurally and aesthetically integrated roofing elements
• Cost effective installation through easy and fast fixing of large area roofing elements using standard installation techniques
• No back-ventilation of solar panels necessary (lightweight laminates are easy to handle and can be field applied directly on metal)
• No support structures needed
• UL Listed as prepared roofing cover
• Modules and inverter UL Listed
• Integrated with flat 16” wide (minimum) metal roofing systems
• Wind and water-tight roof
• Suitable both for renovation and for new construction
• 20-year power output and 5-year system warranty
• Standard junction box or weather-tight quick connect system
• “Peel & stick” adhesive backing capable of withstanding 160 mph wind loads
