BauderSOLAR F and F XL Photovoltaic Systems
Flat roof photovoltaic solutions for new build and retrofit projects
Our BauderSOLAR PV systems deliver technically advanced solutions through design of the mounting system and efficiency of the solar PV modules for both new build and retrofit projects.
The distinctive element of our lightweight PV mounting system is the prefabricated Bauder membrane sleeves which slip over the mounting plates and are welded into position, anchoring the plates to the surface of the Bauder waterproofing system. Once this is completed, the rest of the solar PV installation is simply locked into place without any requirement for tools or sharp fixings.
Flat roof photovoltaic mounting system that is attached to the roof without penetration of the waterproofing system or roof deck. The systems are designed to be used in conjunction with our single ply or bituminous membrane waterproofing solutions and are lightweight at 9-12.5kg/m², depending on the module selected.
As module manufacturers strive to increase the efficiency of solar modules, the industry is moving to larger format cells and module structures.
BauderSOLAR F XL System allows the installation of larger format modules ensuring we can provide our clients with the most efficient solar solutions for their flat roof projects. BauderSOLAR F fits modules up to 1060mm wide to embrace the refurbishment sector where an existing PV array is being replaced

Key features
■□ Risk-free, zero penetration installation.
■□ Single source for integrated design of waterproofing and PV.
■□ Weighs just 9-12.5kg/sq m.
■□ Range of modules delivering up to 455w per panel.
■□ Panels designed to create a 12º angle.
Benefits
■□ Integrity of waterproofing upheld as a result of drill-free installation
■□ Welded installations are considerably lighter than ballasted solutions - most ballasted systems weigh at least 25kg/sq m
■□ Full guarantee covering waterproofing, PV components, modules and installation
■□ High energy generation with minimum 16.82% panel efficiency
■□ Lightweight panels are quick and easy to install, making it a cost-effective solution.
■□ Low angle makes for optimum energy generation and easier to overcome planning issues.
■□ Maintenance of the waterproofing membrane is very easy as individual panels can be removed if required.

Environmental credentials
Renewable energies, such as solar PV, are derived from natural processes that are replenished constantly and are therefore becoming increasingly important. A combination of the environmental impacts associated with burning fossil fuels and the spiralling costs of energy are driving a focus towards dealing with climate change by increasing renewable energy usage.
