PREFA are proud to announce the launch of their PREFALZ Solar Modules in the UK: PREFALZ solar panel
‘The demand for photovoltaic systems in this country remains strong, and the desire among building owners to be energy self-sufficient and save money is greater than ever,’ says PREFA Managing Director Leopold Pasquali, who is well aware of the current market situation. The aluminium expert for roofs, façades, flood protection and solar systems regularly launches innovative solutions on the market, most recently with the latest PV system for the popular PREFALZ standing seam roofs. ‘We not only attach great importance to robustness and durability, but also to an elegant appearance. With our solar products, we repeatedly demonstrate that photovoltaic systems can also look good on modern architectural buildings,’ says Leopold Pasquali, pointing out the advantages.
Efficient, powerful and robust
The PREFALZ solar solution is an innovative combination of PV modules and a unique sub-structure framework, suitable for PREFALZ standing seam roofing. The particularly resistant system withstands all environmental influences. ‘The specially designed glass/glass PV modules are extremely durable and can withstand high mechanical loads, whether from hail, storms or snow loads,’ explains Bernhard Allmer, Photovoltaic Product Manager at PREFA.
The system is also extremely efficient. TOPCon cells set a new standard compared to conventional cells thanks to their high power gain. "Even in diffuse light conditions, they convert more sunlight into electricity, which leads to a higher overall yield. The energy generated can be used directly, fed into the grid or stored," explains the product manager. PREFALZ solar modules also ensure even heat dissipation, especially in environments with thick temperature fluctuations. This results in only minimal performance losses and ensures reliable energy generation over a long length of time.
On-roof solution with minimal installation height
‘The PREFALZ solar modules are available in black and are supplied with matching black anodised module clamps. They can be installed on new PREFALZ standing seam roofs or retrofitted to existing PREFALZ roofs,’ Bernhard Allmer continues, explaining the technical details. With the specially developed module clamps, the PREFALZ solar modules are attached directly to the standing seams, so there is no need for penetration of the metal roof covering.
High-quality production in Austria
The PREFALZ solar module is 100% compatible with PREFALZ standing seam roofs. It comes with a 10-year product warranty and a 25-year performance guarantee on the solar module, as well as an additional 25-year product warranty on the PREFA sub-structure framework. The PREFALZ solar module is developed and produced to a high standard in Austria and also comes from a CO2-friendly manufacturing facility.
