Photovoltaic mounting system on bitumen flat roof

The TRITON PV flat roof mounting system is an aerodynamic, penetration-free PV mounting system for flat roofs of all types with a pressure-resistant substrate (foil, bitumen, gravel, green or trapezoidal sheet metal roof). The mounting system can be realized as an east/west elevation with 12° inclination as well as a south elevation with 12° or 15° inclination.

Special features of photovoltaic installation on bitumen flat roofs

With bitumen roofs, particular attention must be paid to the integrity of the roof cladding. This can cause difficulties with some fixings. TRITON systems, on the other hand, are ideal for this application.

With this type of roof, it is not only important that the mounting systems are installed without penetrating the roof surface, but also that they are installed without cutting, so that the roof cladding is not damaged. The TRITON systems are chipless in their application without screw connections thanks to plug-in connections.

Depending on the roof surface, the photovoltaic mounting systems are pre-assembled with appropriate building protection mats. As a chemical reaction can occur over time on foil roofs when the building protection mat comes into contact with the roof foil, which removes plasticizers from the roof foil, the building protection mats are specially provided with an aluminium lamination for this application.

Installation of the photovoltaic mounting system on a bitumen flat roof

Installation is carried out for roof pitches ≤ 3° without roof penetration, only with weighting. For bitumen flat roofs with a pitch of up to 10°, the TRITON flat roof system can be installed with mechanical anti-slip protection. To ensure a low-ballast overall system, the TRITON flat roof system was not only tested for stability in a WtG-approved boundary layer wind tunnel, but also optimized aerodynamically. This means that even roofs with a low load reserve can be used sensibly for photovoltaics.

A lightning current-capable version of the TRITON system in accordance with DIN EN 62305-3 is also available as an option.

TRITON special features – High degree of pre-assembly

The high degree of pre-assembly and the unique, tool-free assembly with plug-in bolt connections are outstanding. Chipless installation ensures that the roof cladding remains intact. Thanks to the pre-configuration of the TRITON system, no time-consuming measuring and adjustment work is required.
