Flamco Falx; the light weight PV panel mounting system / Fast and simple mounting through three simple components saves 50 % installation time

Bunschoten, the Netherlands (ots) - Flamco introduces Flamco Falx,
a completely new solution for the installation of PV panels for flat
roofs. installing PV panels is often difficult, time consuming and
puts a burden on roofs. Flamco Falx is an ingenious and light weight
mounting product. It consists of just three parts: a mounting block,
a rail for conveniently connecting rows of blocks, and a clip for
securing the PV panels firmly in place. This system can be installed
at the flick of a wrist, without a single tool. Quick, simple and
safe. Herewith you save up to 50 % on installation costs.

Revolutionary innovative

A mounting system for every type of PV panel that consists of no
more than three parts is revolutionary in itself. But Flamco Falx is
innovative in other ways, too. For example, the system remains firmly
in place, even in strong winds, thanks to the smart aerodynamic
design. The aerodynamics are tested by an independent party in a wind
tunnel in compliance with Dutch standard NVN 7250. This reduces the
amount of ballast required to a minimum. And the gravel on the roof
can be used for this, thanks to special recesses in the lateral
spaces of the mounting blocks. If required, paving slabs can also be
laid in this area. The use of light weight material ensures an
extremely low pressure load on the roof.

Ingenious system

The Flamco Falx system offers besides the simple mounting and low
roof-load , a large number of other advantages. So, the mounting
system is suitable for all brands and sizes of PV panels. Thanks to
the light weight and minimal ballast, it can be used on virtually all
flat roofs. Intelligent ventilation on all sides and active
convection ensure better temperature management. This makes the PV
panels more efficient and gives them a longer service life. Rainwater
is drained away on all sides. This has a minimum effect on the roof's
function. The mounting blocks are made from a weather-resistant
plastic.
