SOLYNDRA® Solar Photovoltaic system for flat roofs The new form in photovoltaics. SOLYNDRA®

More than 10 years ago alwitra recognised the significance of renewable energy and began to integrate photovoltaic systems into building structures. The objective of using the enormous potential of empty roof area to generate power from sunlight was realised in 1999 with the development of the world‘s first waterproofing membrane with integrated solar modules. EVALON® Solar combines the latest roof waterproofing technology with options for reclaiming solar energy. The result: A waterproofing membrane that is as useful as it is productive. A truly building integrated product. SOLYNDRA® Solar...

The innovative SOLYNDRA® system was specially developed to optimise PV performance on roofs with a low angle and on highly reflective surfaces. The patented SOLYNDRA® Solar modules consist of tubes that catch solar radiation across all of their surface. This system has two key advantages: 1. The diurnal cycle of the sun is optimally exploited, like in a tracking PV system. 2. Radiation reflected back from the surface of the roof is additionally converted into electrical power. Therefore, the optimal solution is to combine this innovative PV system with the long tried-and-tested white...

To guarantee optimum energy production, conventional PV modules have to be mounted at a certain angle and at a precise distance one from the other. This means that valuable surface area is not exploited for power generation. Compared to conventional solar installations, SOLYNDRA® Solar modules are mounted parallel to the roof and without shading, making it possible to double the area of roof used. Exploiting the roof surface to the full requires integrated planning by roofing experts and solar specialists. With its many years of experience in both fields of business, (roof waterproofing and...

approved for wind speeds of up to wind force 12. Even in areas with high wind loads, with careful observance of the instructions provided by SOLYNDRA® for planning and installation, no additional mounts or anchors are required. . Detail view Positionally stable with no additional anchorage Conventional solar modules have to either be weighed down with additional weights or anchored into the roof with fasteners in order to withstand wind load. With SOLYNDRA® Solar modules, air can stream through between the tubes practically unhindered, minimising the wind forces effective on the module,...

Fast, simple and cost-effective assembly . Plug connection . Light and efficient . Ground strap . SOLYNDRA® Solar: Installation made easy . Cable tray SOLYNDRA® Solar modules can be assembled irrespective of how the roof waterproofing is laid and largely irrespective of climatic conditions. The modules can be delivered as full assemblies including all panel mounts, cables, trays and any necessary components for leading the connection cable through the roof into the building. Convenient to handle, trained contractors can install the units considerably faster than is the case with...

Hermetic seal for optimum protection from climatic conditions . Permanent seal The photovoltaic thin film material used for the patent-protected SOLYNDRA® Solar modules is copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS). CIGS cells are known for their high degree of conversion efficiency. To ensure that this is maintained in the long-term, SOLYNDRA® Solar module tubes are hermetically sealed. Glass and metal seals on the ends of each tube reliably protects against moisture penetration, making the PV system reliable, durable and efficient. . Cross-section of SOLYNDRA® Solar module tubes The tubes of...
