New Jersey’s #1 Metal Roofing Installer

For homeowners looking to go solar in New Jersey, there is now a better option than the bulky, unattractive glass panels of the past; introducing: Thin Film Solar, built into Metal Roofing! Thin Film Solar panels work in all 3 UV light spectrums, and because of this, they are able to produce electricity earlier in the day and later in the evening.

Solar Panels

Benefits of Thin Film Solar:

Thin Film Solar panels are flexible, lightweight, and have better performance at actual operating temperatures, under lower light intensities, and even when damaged (unlikely due to the durability of the PV Laminate)!

However, designing these systems takes experience in both metal roofing as well as solar and electrical engineering. Thin film panels come in pre-made lengths of 18 Feet, 16.5 Feet and 8.5 Feet with a width of 16 inches specifically for standing seam roofs.

  • Enhanced durability – can handle foot traffic
  • Rocks and Hail will not damage output of solar panels
  • Lightweight – no structural reinforcement required
  • Approved for use in hurricane wind zones
  • Performs well in shaded conditions
  • Unified 25-year Roof/PV Warranty
  • Qualifies for 30% Federal Tax Credit

 

Limited Power Output Warranty

  • 92% at 10 years (of power)
  • 84% at 20 years (of power)
  • 80% at 25 years (of power)

 

Thin Film Panel Application

  • Approved substrates include certain membrane and metal roofing products
  • Uses Bypass Diodes for Shadow Tolerance
  • Quick Connect feature for easy installation
  • Concealed wires hidden under metal roofing ridge
  • Adhesive: Ethylene propylene copolymer adhesive sealant with microbial inhibitor

 

Additional Criteria

  • Bypass Diodes: Connected across every solar cell
  • Installation temperature between 10 °C – 40 °C (50 °F – 100 °F)
  • Maximum roof temperature 85 °C (185 °F)
  • Minimum slope: 3° (1/2:12)
  • Maximum slope: 60° (21:12)
