Thin film like Unisolar but with Velcro?? Hard to see it making wind requirements or lasting.

 

Thx for the smile

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Attaching PV with VELCRO

 

Wrenches,

 

As far out as the subject line might seem, a company in Italy has apparently developed a system for attaching PV arrays to flat roofs using strips of VELCRO <https://www.generalmembrane.it/sites/default/files/Brochure-General%20FIX-ENG.pdf> .

 

The potential advantages of this system seem hard to ignore:

   - lightweight

   - no ballast required (also, no mechanical attachments)

   - quick installation and easy assembly

 

Has anyone ever encountered anything similar here in the states? Any opinions about the feasibility of this approach?
