How is an industrial rooftop photovoltaic installation engineered for long term performance?
In this video, we present a real photovoltaic installation on an industrial rooftop more than 30 years old, following the electrical routing from the solar panels to the inverters to explain the key engineering decisions that ensure safety, durability, and ease of maintenance.
The Insulating cable tray 66 from Unex, together with its accessories, has been used to route and protect the electrical cabling along the entire installation, enabling an orderly layout and safe transitions without roof perforations, thereby preserving roof watertightness.
For cable fixing on the photovoltaic panels, Unex Cable ties 22 0 and 22HD have been specified. Designed for outdoor photovoltaic installations, they offer ultraviolet radiation resistance and provide reliable mechanical fastening under demanding environmental conditions.
A practical example of how proper material specification at the design stage simplifies on site installation work and results in a more efficient, maintainable, and long lasting industrial photovoltaic installation.
