Based on the long established principle of fully supported metal roofing the panels are secretly fixed with no penetrative or through fasteners offering a completely watertight roof system.

It s also described as having raised seams or vertical legs that rise above the level of the panel s flat area. Metal roofing and more proseam is a standing seam metal roof panel suitable for residential commercial and light industrial properties. The clamps don t actually go through the seam but squeeze the seam tightly so wind can t pull the solar panels off. In that case the pv system is actually integrated into the building design and is almost unnoticeable on the roof.

One of the latest technological innovations in solar metal roofing is the integration of thin film pv solar laminates with standing seam metal panels through the use of a peel and stick method. Since there s little to no drilling through the roof potential leaking is not an issue like with asphalt shingles. The best part about standing seam is that it s proven to last in pretty much any climate while providing superior durability longevity and energy savings. The modules are available in three dimensions.

Standing seam metal roofing is defined as a concealed fastener metal panel system that features vertical legs and a broad flat area between the two legs. Colonial seam continuous standing seam metal roof panel with an integral seam. Metal roofing provides the best platform for the building integrated photovoltaic bipv system.
