Conergy has developed the SolarFamulus Air, a new aerodynamic mounting system designed by an aeronautical engineer.
By using aerodynamic forces, the SolarFamulus Air reduces the ballast requirement for the entire array, and the need for roof penetrations is completely eliminated or significantly reduced, according to Conergy.
Because many commercial flat roofs have weight limitations or do not have the structural strength to support conventional PV installations, this solar market segment has been restricted. Conergy says the SolarFamulus Air allows these weight-limited commercial flat roofs to deploy solar energy and greatly expands the commercial rooftop solar market.
