Lightweight Solar Panels Can Be Used On Flat Roofs

Beamreach Solar has introduced Sprint, a lightweight photovoltaic solar panel system for flat commercial roofs. Sprint can be installed on nearly all commercial roofs that cannot currently support heavy conventional solar systems, dramatically expanding the commercial solar power market. Featuring maximum power capacities ranging from 290 to 320 watts, Sprint integrates racking into the panel for quicker installation that requires no tools and no grounding. Sprint’s design also reduces the distance required between panel rows, enabling up to 30 percent more panels to be installed on a roof, increasing the solar system’s overall energy output. Sprint panels have been tested to support test loads up to 5,400 Pascals and withstand wind speeds of 115 mph. Sprint also comes with a 25-year linear output warranty and 10-year product warranty.
