Suitable for flat or contoured standing seam roofs, Photonic Universe SELM is an unobtrusive, fixed-size CIGS solar option providing performance and reliability in a light weight and flexible panel format.

SELM Lightweight & Discreet Solar

Photonic Universe SELM Solar in a nutshell

Photonic Universe SELM is a fixed size CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) solar module designed to work with standing seam roofing systems. Photonic Universe SELM 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.

Efficient CIGS modules
Purpose designed to work with standing seam roofing systems
Lightweight requiring no extra structural support or fittings
Flexible fixed sized modules bond directly to the flat or curved roof surface

HIGH TECH DESIGN DELIVERING RELIABLE PERFORMANCE

Photonic Universe SELM modules are supplied as fixed size panels and offer a further option when seeking a discreet solar solution for standing seam roofs usually with shorter delivery times.

Wiring is connected at the roof ridge and incorporated in the initial design stage to ensure connection is hidden. Options up to 4025mm length covers many roof dimensions.
The self-adhesive backing can be applied to the most standing seam metals. This stick-on bonding approach can often be a viable retro fit solution for suitably prepared standing seam when wiring can be applied inside the ridge work.

PHOTONIC UNIVERSE SELM FIXED LENGTH SOLAR PANELS FOR FLAT STANDING SEAM ROOFS

Photonic Universe SELM is a photovoltaic PV system that delivers the advantages of efficient CIGS cells. The panels are suitable for flat or curved standing seam roofing systems. Unlike other solar options, Photonic Universe SELM is lightweight requiring no extra structural support or fittings. The fixed sized modules bond directly to the roof material where a standing seam system has been utilised. Solar panel modules sit between the seams with wiring connected in serial, panel to panel, hidden under the roof ridge flashings. Photonic Universe SELM provides reliable performance in a discreet panel that complements the aesthetics of your roof design.

Photonic Universe SELM 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.

Photonic Universe SELM along with our other solar options have been specially selected to work well with fully supported standing seam roofing.

With appropriate preparation and priming, Photonic Universe SELM solar panels can be bonded to Aluminium, GreenCoat Colourful Steel, Stainless Steel and Copper. It is also possible to retro-fit Photonic Universe SELM solar to existing standing seam roofs with relatively low impact.
