Image Credit: Scott Bader Company Ltd. Can structural adhesives be used to install flexible and traditional solar panels? Yes. Flexible solar PV panels can be attached directly to roofs, and conventional glass-faced solar panels may be installed by bonding the aluminum rails that hold them directly to the roof.
Ian Quarmby from Lord Corp. explains how using a structural adhesive offers can help improve quality (and lower costs) for PV panels, and eliminate maintenance issues for installers — and in both cases, help lower costs.
Sustainability in Energy – Adhesives allow users to lower installation & running costs, as well as boost the efficiency of solar panels to influence higher use of renewable energy; having a more sustainable impact on the future landscape.
Adhesive-mounted solar panels absorb the sunlight that would otherwise be hitting the roof directly, reducing the temperature and the power demand for air conditioning systems; boosting the performance and sustainability in energy. Therefore, reduced HVAC costs can be expected when using adhesives for solar panels.
There are many areas of solar panel construction where structural adhesives would be a viable alternative to mechanical fasteners including the assembly of PV panels and in the supporting framework structure. For example, in photovoltaic cell production, the active silicon layer is often sandwiched between two glass panels.
A simple coating adhesion tester can examine the roof coating’s quality; details of the addition tester are available in the solar PV installation guides on Scott Bader’s website. Can the flexible solar panels or the aluminum rails be removed if required to replace a damaged panel or for routine maintenance of the roof?
Structural adhesives are used to bond solar panel rails to roof tops by bonding to metal or concrete. Eliminate the need to drill into your roof and save time with adhesives.
