A standing seam metal roof integrated with solar panels is a powerful combination of durability longevity energy efficiency and most importantly value for the money.

Standing seam metal roof with integrated solar panels.

Proseam is a standing seam metal roof panel suitable for residential commercial and light industrial properties. Roofit solar modules are building integrated photovoltaic bipv construction elements that replace the conventional roofing and facade materials. Thin film pv systems are flexible lightweight and adhere directly to the pan of a metal standing seam roof. Uni solar is the most well known manufacturer of thin film solar for standing seam roofs.

Metal roofing provides the best platform for the building integrated photovoltaic bipv system. Based on the long established principle of fully supported metal roofing the panels are secretly fixed with no penetrative or through fasteners offering a completely watertight roof system. Colonial seam continuous standing seam metal roof panel with an integral seam. The installation is as easy as the installation of standard standing seam metal roof.
