Flextron Solar in a nutshell

Flextron is a made to measure thin-film CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) solar module designed to work with standing seam roofing systems. Flextron modules are lightweight requiring no extra structural support or fittings. They bond directly to the roof material sitting between standing seams. Wiring is hidden under the roof ridge flashings so panels have minimum impact to your roof design.

ADVANCED DESIGN DELIVERING RELIABLE PERFORMANCE

Flextron modules are made to measure and offer the most flexible option when seeking a discreet solar solution to capture the most power in the space available.
The modules feature solar cells made using CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) technology which allows them to be ultra-thin, in turn, making the modules themselves thin and flexible – 2.5mm! This is in contrast with traditional crystalline-based solar panels which are thicker and heavier.
Wiring is connected at the roof ridge and incorporated in the initial design stage to ensure connection is hidden. The variable lengths suit most roof designs and can be applied to our most popular standing seam metals.

MADE TO MEASURE SOLAR PANELS FOR STANDING SEAM ROOFS

Flextron by BiPVco is a photovoltaic (PV) system that delivers the advantages of high efficiency solar. The made to order solar modules are designed to fit between the seams of standing seam roofing systems. Unlike other solar options, Flextron is lightweight requiring no extra structural support or fittings. The made to measure panels bond directly to the roof material forming a discreet solar capturing surface. Solar panels incorporate wiring connected in serial, panel to panel, hidden under the roof ridge flashings. Flextron provides reliable performance in a discreet panel that complements the aesthetics of your roof design.

Flextron Solar Retains the Benefits of Standing Seam Without Introducing Sealants or Linear Joints

Some solar products can degrade the standing seam integrity by compromising the aesthetics, adding otherwise unnecessary linear joints or imposing heavy structural additions for support.
Flextron along with our other solar options have been specially selected to work well with fully supported standing seam roofing.

Flextron solar panels can be bonded in our approved facility to Aluminium, GreenCoat Colourful Steel, Stainless Steel and Copper. It is also possible to retro-fit Flextron solar to existing standing seam roofs with relatively low impact.
