PHOTOVOLTAIC


PV panels can be either mechanically fixed or bonded to the underlying roof cladding or structure. When specifying PV systems, the designer must consider the impacts on the building. These include:


Safe access for installation and maintenance


Additional weight of the panels Structural implications Additional wind loadings


Potential build-up of debris under the panels.


Our pre-finished steel Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® provides an excellent roof substrate which mechanically fixed photovoltaic systems can be installed on. The market-leading Confidex® guarantee includes cover for Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® under PV modules for up to 40 years.


Our confidence – reflected in this extensive guarantee period – is supported by independent testing and real life weathering data. This means there is one simple guarantee and one guarantee period for the whole roof system, including the

Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® under the PV module. This gives building owners the reassurance to install a PV array without worrying about any adverse effect on the performance of the roof.


Building owners looking to potentially fit PV systems in the future, can specify Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® to ensure their roofs are PV-ready. Just as importantly, they are assured that installation will not have a costly impact on the building. The Confidex® guarantee allows PV modules to be installed at any point in the lifetime of the guarantee and covers the full roof for the same period as the original guarantee.
