9. SunNet Roof :
The best performance from your panels
• Classic aerodynamic membrane forces panels
tilt at 0°-10° and limits the ventilation of the
panels
• SunNet Roof is the mounting system with No
Ballast, No Membrane Drilling, which allows a
perfect panels tilt (0-45 degrees) assuring
ideal ventilation of the panels.
• SunNet Roof allows you to obtain the best
performance from your panels

10. SunNet Roof :
Safe in case of earthquake & typhoons
• Composed by trestles tightly connected
together from north to south
• Made by East-West running cables
• Cables safely anchored to the roof
perimeter
• Unlike ballasted mounting systems,
SunNet Roof remains solidly anchored to
the roof even in case of exceptional wind

20. What we do offer:
• Solar Tensile Structure:
• Complete tensile structure (hooks and panels clamps, screws)
• Design of SunNet Roof/Ground according to the wind/snow zone
and configuration of the system in order to have cost efficiency and
be totally safe
• Pre-assembled structure to reduce installation time
• On demand:
• Customer training for a more effective installation
• Structural analysis of the building
• Analysis of the cement used in the building
• Structural tests on the building
