Solar Mounting Systems For Façades | Schletter Group

When mounting photovoltaic plants to building façades, specific regulations must be observed as defined by the glass manufacturers. As well as the usual warranty risks such as roof leakage or damage to modules, there is an additional risk of injury to people in the event of substandard fastening or through the selection of inappropriate modules.

Photovoltaic systems can be classifi ed based on the end-use application of the technology. There are two main types of PV systems; grid-tie system and off-grid system. Grid-Tie System 2.1.1 In a grid-tie system (Figure 1), the output of the PV systems is connected in parallel with the utility power grid.
