Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) in Urban Centers
Case Study: Multi-story Office Building Retrofit Project.
Challenge: Roof composed of cement boards or tiles with extremely low load-bearing capacity, requiring compatibility with existing roof drainage systems.
Solution: Utilized aluminum alloy brackets due to their lightweight nature and ability to be installed via a "suspended" method, avoiding direct pressure on the roof structure. Combined with aluminum's corrosion resistance, this approach eliminates the need for additional waterproof coatings, preventing moisture penetration and potential leaks.
High-rise Residential Areas in Coastal Cities
Case Study: Residential buildings in coastal cities.
Challenge: Strong sea winds and heavy salt spray cause conventional steel brackets to rust easily.
Solution: Aluminum alloy brackets excel in coastal environments. Their natural oxide film provides exceptional resistance to salt spray corrosion and eliminates the need for secondary painting, solving the problem of rust-stained rooftop solar panels in coastal areas.
"Photovoltaic Ladder" High-Rise Equipment Room Retrofit
Case: High-rise office building equipment room.
Challenge: Frequent opening of roof vents on the equipment room roof, with extremely fragile roof structure.
Solution: Utilized aluminum alloy brackets with a "trapezoidal array" installation (i.e., tilted photovoltaic panel mounting) to maximize limited roof space. The ultra-lightweight brackets exert minimal load on the existing equipment room structure.
