A new solar-film product has been announced
SolarWindow has launched a self-adhesive solar film, according to pv magazine USA. The announcement is a product-launch report, not an independently verified field-performance study. Source: pv magazine USA.
Attachment and building performance need separate evidence
Before a film is specified for a facade, roof or retrofit, buyers should request installation instructions, electrical design information, fire and weather ratings, durability data, warranty terms and output evidence. The substrate, drainage, edge treatment and service-access approach also need to suit the intended building envelope.
Buyer impact
Treat a new BIPV product as a qualification exercise rather than a substitute for a structural design. Where conventional modules are part of the project, Apex's roof mounting systems and mounting accessories can be reviewed against the documented module and site interfaces.
Prepare your project for Apex review
Send the project location, module datasheet, layout drawing, wind and snow basis, and roof or foundation condition for faster system selection.
