Photovoltaics on warehouses, commercial buildings and industrial buildings

Whether flat roof or pitched roof, everything is possible without roof penetration.
With roof-penetration-free photovoltaic roof mounting, no holes need to be drilled through the roof or any other interventions made. Sloping gable and shed roofs covered with bitumen or membrane roofing could previously only be installed with great difficulty or at very high cost without roof penetration.
The METIS mounting system makes it easy to implement photovoltaic projects even on these roofs. A wind assessment conducted by the IFI Institute in Aachen allowed the necessary ballasting to be reduced to a minimum.
