COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL ROOFTOP PV

C&I Rooftop PV Solutions

For industrial plants, parks and commercial buildings — design arrays, mounts and fixing interfaces from roof conditions.

ROOF CONDITION ASSESSMENT

System design starting from roof conditions

Confirm building conditions before array, mounting and fixings. Roof type, structural capacity, local wind climate and existing waterproofing all set the design boundary.

Assess first, then select Building conditions are the first input for rooftop PV design
Roof type assessment scene
01 Roof type Identify roof construction, profile and substrate to set mounting fit and fixing boundaries.
Structural load review scene
02 Structural loads Use existing structural data and checks to control added dead load and construction-stage effects.
Wind load check scene
03 Wind loads Check wind loads and design nodes from site location, building height and roof zones.
Waterproofing review scene
04 Waterproofing Review membrane type and existing details so structural fixings do not become leakage risks.

ROOF TYPE ADAPTATION

Adaptation across multiple roof types

One node does not cover every roof — choose fixing methods and load paths that match the building construction.

Metal roof scenario METAL ROOF
01 / METAL

Metal / standing-seam roofs

Match clamps to profile, seam type and purlin conditions; avoid unnecessary roof penetrations.

View installation strategy
Concrete flat roof scenario CONCRETE ROOF
02 / CONCRETE

Concrete flat roofs

Choose ballast or mechanical fixing from structural capacity, waterproofing and array layout.

View installation strategy
Membrane roof scenario MEMBRANE ROOF
03 / MEMBRANE

Flexible membrane roofs

Protect the membrane, control local loads and wind uplift; keep fixings coordinated with the existing roof system.

Complex industrial roof scenario COMPLEX ROOF
04 / COMPLEX

Complex industrial roofs

Resolve conflicts from stepped roofs, dense equipment, skylights and existing services with zoned layout and custom nodes.

SYSTEM ENGINEERING LAYOUT

Rooftop PV system engineering layout

Coordinate arrays, access, fire routes, electrical paths and O&M constraints on one engineering plan — not just fill the roof with modules.

STRUCTURAL RELIABILITY

Safety and structural reliability

Reliability comes from a closed engineering chain: structural inputs, load calculation, node detailing, corrosion protection and site acceptance.

01

Structural review

Identify structural system and capacity boundary

02

Wind load calculation

Zone-check system uplift resistance

03

Node design

Define connections, load transfer and detailing

04

Corrosion scheme

Match materials to environmental exposure

05

Install acceptance

Key process checks and quality closeout

Connection nodes Clamps / rails / fasteners
Anchorage nodes Base plates / posts / anchors
Wind uplift resistanceLoad controlConnection reliabilityLong-term corrosion resistance

INSTALLATION STRATEGY

Installation strategies that protect the roof

“No roof damage” is not an absolute promise for every roof. Choose nodes that balance structural safety, waterproof continuity and constructability for the actual roof build-up.

Clamp fixing 3D node illustration

Clamp fixing

Dedicated clamps grip metal-roof seams without penetrating the roof sheet.

Ballasted

Concrete or steel ballast provides uplift resistance without roof penetrations, protecting the membrane.

Custom nodes

Custom solutions for special roofs and details with precise adaptation.

Engineering boundary: Final fixing methods must follow existing structural documents, site survey, waterproofing system, load checks and applicable codes.

ENERGY FLOW

From generation to facility energy use

C&I rooftop PV value depends not only on installed capacity, but also on facility load curves, tariff structure, self-consumption ratio and interconnection conditions.
