Explore the benefits of solar panels lightweight systems for homes and businesses. Solar Dream delivers high-performance lightweight panels, expert installation, and full solar support throughout the UK.
With the UK still on the path of becoming cleaner and more cost effective in energy, the solar technology still serves as a primary motive behind the sustainability agenda. However, as much as millions of homes have been powered by the traditional solar panels, not all homes can accommodate them because of their weight, construction and fitting. This is where the new generation of solar panels lightweight technology is changing the industry and transforming the solar energy to be more accessible to more homeowners, and businesses than ever before.
In Solar Dream we have the obligation to assist the customers to exploit the contemporary solar solutions that are meant to be dependable, efficient, and long-lasting. One of the most promising innovations that we have to offer is lightweight solar panels, particularly when working with the properties having a more secure, quicker, and versatile installation requirement. And in case you are wondering whether to install lightweight solar panels in your home or commercial building, the following guide will take you through all that.
The lightweight solar panels are designed to be of high performance at a very lower weight that is usually encountered with the traditional rigid solar panels. The weight of a typical glass-and-aluminium panel is ranging between 18kg and 25kg, and lightweight solar panels are usually 40-70 percent lighter, due to the use of flexible material, polymer laminates and thin-film technology.
These panels are lighter, but they do not compromise the energy production by making the panels weak or unreliable. In the case of UK properties where weight and size, roof structures are weak or have high surface areas and the traditional panel will not be correct, the lightweight technology is the ideal solution without compromising with the performance.
Having more types of buildings and the increased interest in renewable energy, lightweight panels give the solutions to the problems which property owners have been experiencing over the years.
And most of the existing homes in the UK - particularly the ones that were constructed decades or centuries ago - just cannot support the weight of full-sized solar panels. Lightweight solar panels exert much less structural stress and are therefore applicable in:
Solar Dream has complete structural audits that help in the decision of deciding whether lightweight panels are the safest in your property or not.
Conventional panels need to have mounted rails, fixed brackets, and penetrative fixings. Lightweight panels can permit:
The lightweight panels are seen to be extremely common with flat roofing systems like:
Their weight causes less damage to the roofing systems of membrane-based roofs due to their less weight, which makes solar a reality in many modern commercial and new residential structures.
As opposed to the old fashioned hard-placed solar panels, lightweight solar panels enable production of energy upon a variety of surfaces and structures such as:
This imparts fresh possibilities to solar installation which were just not possible due to the heaviness of the old design.
To the owners of homes who value appearance, the lightweight panel has a low profile that is skin-thin and it fits perfectly with the roof. Their slim design will make properties look more modern and cleaner--and that too often without the raised framing that is present in traditional PV.
Most individuals believe that the lightweight panels cannot be as strong or as dependable. Contemporary engineering has however taken the lightweight solar technology to greater heights of strength and performance:
Solar Dream will simply place the lightweight panels that comply with the stringent requirements in the UK and EU regarding the durability, output, and safety standards of the panels.
Solar Dream is committed to ensuring that the customers get the best solar solution to their needs- be it conventional panels or new lightweight systems. Our process is quality assurance through:
We will examine your roof construction, shadowing and long-term energy requirements to argue out whether lightweight panels will suit or not.
We receive the high quality of lightweight solar panels which have a good performance, good warranty, and high reliability.
Our professional installers work to have a clean safe and compliant installation with attention to detail and satisfaction of customers.
When you combine your lightweight panels with a battery system, you get the maximum out of storing the excess energy and minimise the use of the grid.
In case of weight restrictions, old roof, and some special installation conditions on your property, lightweight solar panels can be the best option. You can also enjoy renewable energy with confidence without the hassle of affecting the safety and structural integrity of the building with the help of Solar Dream.
