Aircraft engineering for flat roofs: Conergy's new rack solution SolarFamulus Air
01 June 2011
The Hamburg solar company will present its new mounting systems for industrial flat roofs, the Conergy SolarFamulus Air, at Intersolar for the first time. Developed by an aircraft construction engineer the lightweight mounting system benefits from optimum aerodynamics and minimum roof load: the principle is similar to that of the spoiler on a racing car, as the baffles help to significantly reduce vertical, lifting stresses caused by wind. This means that the SolarFamulus Air's aerodynamic shape together with its own weight and the use of minimal additional ballasting hold it in place on the roof – without any roof penetration. This makes it ideal for foil roofs or lightweight roofs.
