Ubbink’s solar in-roof mounting system has been used on thirty seven bungalows for a sheltered housing scheme with South Cambridgeshire council at Sawston & Duxford. The project was carried out for the council, by Foster Renewable Energies Ltd, of Wisbech following a successful trial installation.
James West of Foster Renewable Energies, said: “The planners at South Cambridgeshire District Council had expressed an interest in an in-roof type mounting kit for the bungalows and we were able to show examples of previous similar projects we had undertaken using the Ubbink mounting system. We like the system as it can be installed on the majority of roof coverings without any component changes. Modules can be installed portrait or Landscape, with design and delivery all within our desired time frame.”
The Ubbink in-roof mounting system ensures an attractive low profile installation that blends into the roof without detracting from the character or architectural integrity of the building.
The kit is suitable for most pitched roofs from 15° - 70°, the Ubbink solar in-roof system is designed for mounting and integrating most sizes and types of photovoltaic (PV) modules with tiled or slate roofs. The characteristic uplift resistance of the system as tested at the BRE, with two rails and five mounting blocks per rail, is 1759.5Pa*.
The Ubbink in-roof mounting system is guaranteed for 10 years, providing installation has been carried out correctly.
*NB: For coastal areas with higher winds a higher wind uplift figure can be achieved by adding extra rails.
