AND

Exposed Fastener Roof Systems


The Solar SSR System– Total system working together to harvest power– Standing seam applications– Exposed fastener applications– System sizes – System costs– Fabral’s offering


Total System

“On grid” system is shown; “Off grid” systems require battery storage between DC Disconnect and Inverter


The Total System Working together to harvest power.

• Triple-junction technology captures three

wave lengths (red, green/yellow and blue) of sunlight

• Panels are electrically daisy-chained together to maximize output

• Power is converted from DC to AC and is returned to the grid

• Optional Data Acquisition System provides real-time analysis of energy production


The Solar SSR panels are:

• Highly flexible, lightweight and durable

• More efficient at producing electricity than alternative polycrystalline solar technology, especially in shadows and/or low light

• Efficient up to 185°F

• A peel and stick back

The Total System


• No roof penetrations to install

• Eliminates additional structural support requirements

• Maintains serviceability and walkability of the roof

• Roof slopes between 1:12 and 21:12

• Curving is permitted

• Tested to very high hail and wind resistance ratings – extremely durable

• Extremely light weight at ±0.75 psf

The Total System


Standing Seam Applications

• Can be applied to existing metal roofs or new standing seam panels

• Standing Seam panels must be at least 16” seam to seam

• Fabral Enduracote™ and Flurobond™ paint systems are approved

• Solar SSR panels are field installed – can be adhered prior or post to

installing standing seam panels

Exposed Fastener Applications-A PATENT PENDING APPLICATION -

• BIVP solar thin film laminates can be adhered to hemmed flat sheets that are one foot longer than the solar panels

• Flat sheets are then attached over exposed fastener systems

System Sizes

• Wide range of power sizes to choose from, depending upon budget and building requirements.

• Standard system sizes: 1.5, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120 and 240 Kw

• The system requires approximately 600 s.f. for 3 kW


Watt = Unit of power = Volt x Amp

Watt Hour = Unit of energy equal to 1 watt of power operating for one hour.

1,000 W (watt) = 1 kW (Kilowatt)

Watts?

5kW system x 1hour = 5 kW-h

Average 3.5-4 hours a day of 100% efficiency

Average day:5kW system x 3.8 hours = 18 kW-h / Day

18kW-h will light 7.5 100w light bulbs for 24 hours


•Commercial buildings: 11.7 – 17.4 kWh per sq.ft. floor area

•Residential buildings: Average house uses 11,000 kWh per year

•5kW system produces approximately 5,000 – 8,000 kWh per year

•1.5kW – Pennsylvania 2,020 kWh / yr

•3kW – Virginia 4,077 kWh / yr

•5kW – Washington 6,389 kWh / yr

•5kW – N. Carolina 6,939 kWh / yr

•5kW – N. Carolina 7,201 kWh / yr

•5kW – Pennsylvania 6,753 kWh / yr

•10kW – Wisconsin 12,155 kWh / yr

•15kw – Wisconsin 18,215 kWh / yr

Typical Power Production Percentages


Other Factors

•Azimuth angle (direction the roof faces, SE, S, SW, etc)

•South or SW is often considered the best

•Sunlight

•Shade

•Snow cover

•Module/Panel Width – 15.5” PV width

•16” SSR most efficient

•18” – 20” SSR = wasted space

Solar SSR


What Fabral Sells

• Fabral sells:• Solar SSR panels• Cable Trays• Cable Tray Covers• Rubber Grommets• S-5! Mini Clamps

• Our customers must obtain the other components themselves

• We provide suggested manufacturers and contacts to call


System Costs

Total estimated system price (less the metal roof):

• 3kw (rated DC, 3.264kw) ~$25,786

• 5kw (rated DC, 5.44kw) ~$41,344


• Metal panels must be clean and smooth with no stiffening ribs, striations or embossing

• Thin-film solar laminate is adhered directly onto the exposed face of the SSR panel in the field or shop in temperatures between 50° and 100°F before roof installation

• Video available online

Installation


Installation

• Fabral specifications clearly outline the scope of work and installation responsibilities

• Fabral manufactures and delivers the entire system to specification

• The system is installed in two steps:

1. The BIPV roofing panels by the trained roofing contractor

2. The electrical system by the electrical subcontractor


Warranty

• The Fabral Solar SSR system comes with a Fabral/EnergyPeak™ 25-year manufacturer’s warranty

25 Years


ROI

• The perfect start

• Can be processed via paper or online at www.fabral.com/ROI.php

• Calculations are available for all power size options

• All current federal rebates, state and local incentives, utility provider incentives, renewable energy credits and depreciation are shown

• ROI well under 10 years is common

• About 7 days for results


Tax Credit Advantages

30% Solar IRS tax credit is available on PV systems- Extended through 2016- Previous cap on residential PV systems has been REMOVED, significantly increasing the tax incentives for residential applications- Many state and local utility rebates exist

PLUS don’t forget - Homeowner Energy Credit of 30% for projects using metal roofing meeting ENERGY STAR® (cool colors) requirements

- Maximum credit is $1500- Does not include installation costs- Must be installed during 2009 or 2010


Drawings & Specifications • Fabral will supply all required AutoCad

drawings, electrical schematics and Masterspec® specifications for both the electrical and roofing sections

• Electrical schematics and specifications should be given to the electrical engineer for review
