Already in 2018, BEMO installed the standing seam roof on the wooden construction of the aircraft manufacturer Pilatus in Stans, Switzerland, which is located directly next to the A2 motorway. The hall has a size of almost two soccer fields and enabled the installation of 4.996 solar modules. The roof from BEMO created the precondition for the solar system. In rich dark green, the standing seam roof and part of the facade fit in perfectly with the surroundings. As a particularly robust and durable roof, it now forms the basis for one of the largest solar power plants in Central Switzerland. With the support of BEMO, the aircraft manufacturer is taking a big step forward towards a climate-neutral aircraft production.
A Standing Seam Roof Construction as a Sustainable Basis for Solar Systems
A BEMO Standing seam system is the ideal roof covering for company buildings, because it combines durability and safety with visual design options. For the photovoltaic standing seam solar roof of the Pilatus aircraft plant, the standing seam panels with a length of approx. 70m were manufactured directly on site – this way, transverse overlaps in the roof area can be avoided. Since our standing seam profiles are installed penetration-free, there are no weak spots that could result in leaks. In addition, the local production has above all economic and environmental advantages.
Standing seam roofs are ideal as a substructure for photovoltaic and solar systems. Solar systems are quick and easy to install on a standing seam roof, which means reduced installation time and labour costs. The type of assembly differs depending on the manufacturer. Thanks to BEMO-TOP and BEMO-AKKORD rails, which have been proven over many years, systems from BEMO can be fastened penetration free – without point loads, constraints and with unhindered rear ventilation of the modules.
