• Dimond offers a design consultation to consider the roof design and the potential for power generation

Key Design Considerations:

• Suitable for new or existing residential and commercial applications, including houses and farm buildings
• For new builds north facing is preferred; for existing buildings a Dimond consultation will calculate and advise best approach
• 12m² of roof coverage = 1KW power production
• Ideal laminate lengths must remain consistent throughout the roof for residential projects
• Can be applied to Dimond Roofings range of metal tray products: Solar-Rib, Heritage Tray and Dimond's Eurotray range (Angle Seam, Roll Seam, Roll Cap, Double Standing Seam)
• Can be applied at the time of installation, or after the roofing profile has been installed
• Can be used on curved roofs

The key components of the installation process include:

• The roofing tray is cleaned, and Photovoltaic Laminates are applied
• Once the laminates have been applied, wires are run from the panels to the inverter, which is generally located close to the main switchboard
• The invertor will then be wired, and the local power authority will then be involved to connect the import-export meter and grid tie from the meter
• If installing a profile, and then adding PVL at a later date, pre-wiring can be organised with an electrician

• Minimum pitch of 3° — depending on roofing profile selected
• Only suitable for wide pan profiles
• Consult the Dimond Technical team for further design considerations
• Exclusive to the RoofingSmiths nationwide expert installers

• Photovoltaic Laminates are very durable, and can withstand hail storms, cricket balls or been walked on by trades, (unlike traditional solar panels)
• Low maintenance requirements as laminates cleaned by rain wash
• Can be recycled
