During Intersolar 2011, Parabel AG is launching the third version of its SmartRoof product range. After the successes of UNIFLAT and UNITAPE, the company is now offering UNIREFIX. With their newly developed hook-and-loop fastening system on the rear side, the company claims that these thin-film modules can not only be installed extremely quickly on almost any roof envelope, but can also be used many times over and removed so that they leave virtually no traces. The company claims that UNIREFIX makes every roof suitable for leasing purposes, since the securely fixed but easily and quickly removable hook-and-loop system means that the solar power system no longer forms an integral part of the building. Which could open a new market for utilising solar power in large-scale roof projects. In addition, UNIREFIX now makes it worthwhile to use solar power systems in temporary projects, with buildings that are often converted and on unrefurbished roofs. In case of a refurbishment, the photovoltaic system is removed so the new roof surface can be applied. The lower side of the hook-and-loop fixing system is renewed and the modules can be used again. The system, which has been developed for flat and lightweight roofs, is suited for shorter investment cycles in the industrial sector. Parabel will be showcasing UNIREFIX for the very first time at Intersolar 2011 at booth B 3.439.
