The new product is made of AL6005-T5 aluminum combined with galvanized aluminum-zinc and offers three load-bearing options. It can reportedly be used in concrete roofs, flat areas and membrane roofs and can withstand a wind load of 45 m/s and a snow load of 1.6KN/m2.
Mibet, a Chinese mounting system supplier, has launched a new mounting system for PV systems on flat roofs.
The company describes its new Flax S10 product as a non-penetrating, ballasted mounting structure with wind deflectors that can accommodate a variety of tilt angles and can be used on roof surfaces with moderate wind loads.
The system can reportedly be used on concrete roofs, flat areas and membrane roofs and can withstand a wind load of 45 m/s and a snow load of 1.6KN/m2. It features a three-sided wind deflector design on both sides and the back. The back uses self-tapping screws and the sides have pre-drilled holes and can be installed with fine-toothed screws.
The manufacturer said that the mounting structure can be pre-installed at a significant height and assembled with connecting components without tools. It also emphasized that, thanks to the pre-assembly of the supporting structure and the connecting components, the on-site construction requires only the installation of central and side pressure blocks.
“This product has been developed to match the mainstream small 1,762mm x 1,134mm modules in the European market, with a 10 degree installation angle and a short side mounting method,” a company spokesperson said. pv magazine. “It can also be adapted to the actual conditions at the project site.”
The system is made of AL6005-T5 aluminum combined with galvanized aluminum-zinc and offers three load-bearing options: double-sided load-bearing plates, where cement blocks must be placed on both sides of the load-bearing plates; load-bearing support plates, where cement blocks must be placed above the load-bearing support plates; and fixed aluminum corner cement blocks, where cement blocks must be placed between two aluminum corner pieces.
The product comes with a 10-year warranty.
