Bird’s eye view of the PREFALZ solar panels, which will be installed on the PREFALZ roof.

PREFALZ solar panel

The robust, durable glass/glass PV modules were specially developed for the popular PREFALZ roof system and fit perfectly into the typical double-lock standing seam look.

Our photovoltaic system for PREFALZ roofs is a combination of glass/glass PV panels with particular developed seam clamps and solar panel clamps in one piece, which are attached directly to the double locked seams seams. Thus, the PREFALZ solar panels enable installation parallel to the roof with a low installation height.

The clear PREFALZ lines are harmoniously continued, which preserves the characteristic look of the roofing trays.

Coordinated with the PREFALZ roof system: PREFA’s complete system

The PREFALZ solar panel is 100% compatible with the PREFALZ roof system. Adapted to the 500 and 650 seam widths, the glass/glass PV panel is attached to the seams, which preserves the appearance of the double-lock standing seam trays.

The PREFALZ solar panels can be installed on new PREFALZ roofs as well as retrofitted to existing PREFALZ roofs at any time.

TOPCon cell technology: Innovative & efficient

Durability and resistance: The glass/glass PV panels are characterised by extraordinary robustness against environmental influences. They are moisture-resistant and can also withstand higher mechanical loads, whether from hail, storms or snow loads.

High level of efficiency: With 10% higher performance compared to the conventional PERC cell, the TOPCon cells set a new standard. They convert more sunlight into electricity, even in diffuse light, resulting in higher overall efficiency.

More uniform heat dissipation: The PREFALZ panels ensure more consistent heat dissipation, especially in environments withheavy temperature fluctuations. This results in minimal performance degradation and ensures reliable energy generation over a longer period of time.

Scope of delivery

The PV system is individually and dimensionally tailored to the roof product. The PREFALZ solar package not only includes the solar brackets, but also the correctly sized solar panels.

For the PREFALZ solar panel, PREFA offers the following components:

  • PREFALZ solar panels
  • Middle and end clamps
  • Anti-slip devices
  • Cable package with all required supply lines and discharges
  • Various services (e.g. design of the PV system)

The PREFALZ aluminium tray for the roof itself are not included in the package. These must be requested separately.

Structure of the PREFALZ solar panel

With an installation height of only 70 mm, this solution integrates harmoniously into the roof surface and is thus much slimmer than conventional on-roof solutions.

1. 3.2 mm prismatic solar glass
2. Encapsulation material
3. Photovoltaic cell type TOPCon
4. Encapsulation material
5. 3.2 mm rear glass
6. Connection box, MC4 plug / socket with solar cable and cable protection hose

Questions and answers about the PREFALZ solar panel

This is a on-roof solution consisting of glass/glass PV panels with the innovative TOPCon cell technology.

The PREFALZ solar panel is 100% compatible with the PREFALZ roof system, adapted to the 500 and 650 seam widths. The appearance of the double-lock standing seam trays is thus retained.

  • POWERFUL – TOPCon cell technology provides 10% more performance, even in diffuse lighting conditions
  • REDUCTION – 15% fewer individual components (due to no rail and loose components)
  • HANDLING – Compared to traditional on-roof solutions, our system enables 20% faster installation (ready-to-use components)
  • AREA OF APPLICATION – The mounting system can be used from a roof pitch of 3° to 70°.
  • CHARACTERISTICS – Double-lock standing seam trays are retained in the complete system.
  • AESTHETIC LOOK – Low installation height of 70 mm for optimal integration into the roof surface, black anodised seam and panel clamp in one construction part
  • SYSTEM APPROACH – Tailored to the PREFA complete system and the tried-and-tested PREFALZ Vario solar bracket mounting system, no impairment of thermal expansion and contraction
  • RETROFITTABLE – the PREFALZ solar panel can be expanded on existing PREFALZ double-lock standing seam trays, without roof penetrations.
  • SUSTAINABLE – 100% developed and produced in Austria.
  • DURABLE – 25 year product guarantee on the sub-structure framework, based on the life cycle of the PV panel’s 25 year performance guarantee.

The solar panels consist of the following layers:

  • 3.2 mm prismatic solar glass
  • Encapsulation material
  • Photovoltaic cell type TOPCon
  • Encapsulation material
  • 3.2 mm rear glass
  • Connection box, MC4 plug / socket with solar cable and cable protection hose

For the installation of PREFALZ solar panels, you also need middle and end clamps as well as a safety lock and cables of course.

Both visible widths of the PREFALZ solar panel have an output of 150 Wp each.

For the PREFALZ 500 solar panel, this corresponds to a space requirement of 5.44 m²/kWp, while the space requirement is 7.44 m²/kWp for the PREFALZ 650 solar panel.

The PREFALZ solar panel is a PV on-roof solution in which the panels are installed on PREFALZ roofs. This is possible from a roof pitch of 3° to 70°.

If you are interested in the PREFALZ solar panel, please get in touch with your contact person.
