Etfe Roof Panels With Pv

Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene etfe is a fluorine based plastic polymer that offers a creative and lightweight alternative to glass.

Etfe roof panels with pv.

At aura we can provide you with the unique and patented texo etfe panel solution. Etfe ethylene tetrafluoroethylene is a fluorine based plastic. From the extrusion of the etfe foil through to transport and installation the light weight of the material reduces the co 2 footprint significantly. Advantages of etfe solar panel over pet solar panel longer life.

In the past there was a substantial gap between the two in terms of efficiency. There are several options for attaching flexible solar panels to the roof of a vehicle. However etfe based flexible panels have narrowed the gap sufficiently to make the technology extremely attractive. When etfe film is used.

The flexi range can even be walked on with soft deck shoes. It was created with high corrosion resistance and is considered to have the same long life span as tempered glass when used in the solar industry. Installing a flexible solar panel on a fiberglass hightop drilling through the fiberglass hightop. On top of all these benefits the etfe panels are more attractive at least in my opinion.

Other brand craft and materials. Developed over 40 years ago by dupont etfe has similar light transmission to glass but at just 1 of the weight. Whether it is a single layer or in cushion forms etfe foil systems are supported in an aluminium extrusion at the perimeter which in turn is supported by the main. The benefits of an etfe roof compared to a glass equivalent are becoming increasingly recognised.

A side by side comparison of traditional pv and etfe technology attributes. Etfe has excellent chemical properties. Etfe non viscous dirt resistance and good self cleaning properties for etfe. The texo panel system will hold any architectural fabric at a constant pretension so it will not deflect under wind or snow loads.

Etfe foil can be useful for the building s thermal design. The use of etfe in architectural constructions has grown spectacularly in recent years offering the benefits of unsurpassed optical properties and lightweight construction to projects as diverse as walkways greenhouses and more high profile constructions such as the eden project and the beijing olympic swimming pool. Sustainability is one of the main arguments for etfe roofs. During production the etfe is dimpled to further protect the panel and provide an anti slip surface particularly useful if the panel is fitted to a boat yacht deck.
