Throughout the U.S. insulated metal panel roofs (sandwich panel roofs) gain more momentum (https://www.metalconstruction.org/insulated-metal-panel-roofs) but currently large commercial insulated metal panel roofs cannot support the weight of solar modules due to their limited loadbearing capacity. Aerocompact's innovative self-supporting racking system is an easy to install solution to this problem. It will open up a new market for commercial solar installations on existing as well as new insulated metal panel roofs. The comprehensive engineering support through Aerocompact’s structural online tools guided by thorough third-party testing results will make the applicability easy for installers. We will present this concept with detailed engineering designs, pictures and videos. This method and product is truly a new and innovative approach to safely install solar systems on sandwich metal sheet panels. Due to its uniqueness, Aerocompact has just received the “Best Innovation Award†at the Solar Solutions International in the Netherlands.
