Thanks to their mostly large area, flat roofs provide the perfect base for installing PV systems. Only the rack technology provides the optimal angle of incidence and most effective orientation of the entire system here.
Instead of orienting each module to the south in a 30 degree angle, double-sided east-west systems are equally in demand. This allows commercial flat roofs to be used optimally, as there is no need for a gap between the module rows to prevent shading.
BUY today the new generation of flat roof systems from K2
A frequent criteria for installing a rooftop system used to be the load-bearing capacity of the building roof. This often concerned roofs that were ideal for a solar system, for instance flat roofs on commercial buildings. These are extensive and usually without shading from trees or neighboring buildings.
For flat roofs with low load-bearing limit, K2 Systems has continually been developing solutions for many years and is now bringing out the latest generation.
Fifth generation for flat roofs: S-Dome V and D-Dome V
The one-sided S-Dome V and two-sided D-Dome V combine benefits such as stability and ease of assembly – their new features providing solutions to the ever increasing demands of the markets. These systems are the result of expertise gained over many years of optimisation and improvements.
A central feature involves the new smooth-sliding support pad, the so-called “Mat V”. In comparison to conventional structural protection mats, the mew mat has a better coefficient of friction and prevents chemical interactions with the roof membrane. The material EPDM and geometry make these properties possible.
That means a second structural protection mat with laminated aluminium is no longer necessary. The system structure also compensates the tolerances on the roof. Both flat roof systems are highly optimised in respect to material and offer a price advantage especially in view of rising aluminium prices.
D-Dome V & S-Dome V
- D-Dome & S-Dome V with modified geometry for improved accommodation of tolerances
- Short assembly rails with integrated ballast holder
- Smooth-sliding EPDM support pad:
- Compensates tolerances
- Better coefficient of friction reduces ballasting
- Reduces logistics costs thanks to smaller transport volume
- Aerodynamically optimised based on wind tunnel tests
