ARVAL LAUNCHES SOLAR ROOFING AND CLADDING SYSTEM
 An
award-winning building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV)
steel roofing and cladding sheet that saves a tonne of
carbon for every 1.5 metres installed has been launched
by the Arval brand of Arcelor Construction UK.
“Arsolar” won the gold medal first prize for innovation
at the Batimat exhibition in Paris late last year based
on its “plug and play” ability to be used on a wide
range of roofs and facades ranging from small housing
developments to large commercial solar-electric
stations.
The six-inch crystalline silicium photovoltaic cells are
laminated onto specially designed galvanised profiled
steel sheets that are available in a variety of
Arcelor’s renowned HairExcel Granite coated colours.
Foot traffic is subject to the usual precautions – no
more, no less. Each nine-cell module is pre-wired and
fully equipped with cables and connectors as well as
specially perforated spacer purlins and hoods for the
optimum ventilation to aid solar gain. Arval estimates
that a single module would be capable of generating up
to 130 watts of power and a double up to 260 watts.
A 3,000-watt or 45m² installation prevents the discharge
of 30 tonnes of carbon, equivalent to that emitted by a
car travelling 100,000 miles. Arval also estimates that
a 60,000-watt or 1,000m² installation in Lyon, for
instance, would generate approximately 65,000KWh per
year. A 150,000-watt installation in the hottest
countries in the world could generate almost 250,000KWh
per year.
Weighing just 20kg/m², the system can be installed
quickly and easily on roofs as shallow as 6º in either
single or double modules of 36 or 72 cells. Three
sub-systems are available – with rigid or mineral wool
insulation or without insulation.
An inverter converts the direct current into an
alternating current that can then be resold to the grid
or stored in batteries.
Like all Arval systems, Arsolar comes complete with
impressive warranties – 25 years at up to 80% power
capability for the photovoltaic cells and 20 years for
the steel sheets.
Training and information modules for architects and
specifiers, main contractors, installers, building
owners and end users are available from Arval who also
work with installers to design the correct laying out of
the system.
