Sustainability is one of the main arguments for etfe roofs.
Etfe roof panels with pv.
The texo panel system will hold any architectural fabric at a constant pretension so it will not deflect under wind or snow loads.
There are several options for attaching flexible solar panels to the roof of a vehicle.
From the extrusion of the etfe foil through to transport and installation the light weight of the material reduces the co 2 footprint significantly.
Whether it is a single layer or in cushion forms etfe foil systems are supported in an aluminium extrusion at the perimeter which in turn is supported by the main.
During production the etfe is dimpled to further protect the panel and provide an anti slip surface particularly useful if the panel is fitted to a boat yacht deck.
This allows you to use etfe in flat or curved panels for your roofing scheme.
In the past there was a substantial gap between the two in terms of efficiency.
Installing a flexible solar panel on a fiberglass hightop drilling through the fiberglass hightop.
Developed over 40 years ago by dupont etfe has similar light transmission to glass but at just 1 of the weight.
Etfe foil can be useful for the building s thermal design.
The use of etfe in architectural constructions has grown spectacularly in recent years offering the benefits of unsurpassed optical properties and lightweight construction to projects as diverse as walkways greenhouses and more high profile constructions such as the eden project and the beijing olympic swimming pool.
Advantages of etfe solar panel over pet solar panel longer life.
The benefits of an etfe roof compared to a glass equivalent are becoming increasingly recognised.
However etfe based flexible panels have narrowed the gap sufficiently to make the technology extremely attractive.
When etfe film is used.
It was created with high corrosion resistance and is considered to have the same long life span as tempered glass when used in the solar industry.
Etfe has excellent chemical properties.
At aura we can provide you with the unique and patented texo etfe panel solution.
A side by side comparison of traditional pv and etfe technology attributes.
Etfe ethylene tetrafluoroethylene is a fluorine based plastic.
On top of all these benefits the etfe panels are more attractive at least in my opinion.
Other brand craft and materials.
Etfe roofs offer excellent sustainability.
Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene etfe is a fluorine based plastic polymer that offers a creative and lightweight alternative to glass.
