The advantages of TRI-STAND

  • Floating on-roof system, no thermal separation necessary

  • No stresses on the module or rail system due to thermal expansion

  • Simple, fast and efficient installation

  • Significant time and thus cost savings

  • Optimal load distribution and stability

  • Suitable for all common framed solar modules

  • Visually closed and aesthetic module field

  • Identical components for upright and transverse mounting

  • Simple replacement of the solar modules

  • Certified for wind and snow loads, statically tested

Photovoltaic installation on a trapezoidal sheet metal roof

The TRI-STAND PV TRI-STAND trapezoidal sheet metal roofs allows for the installation of PV using all types of modules from various manufacturers. This system is the ideal solution for customers who place a high value on an aesthetically pleasing solar installation.

1. measuring and predrilling the module field

According to the layout plan, the module field is measured on the roof and pre-drilled using the TRITEC drilling jig.

2. Install SafeClick

The tried-and-tested SafeClick is riveted directly onto the trapezoidal sheet, which means that significantly fewer fastening points are required.

3. click in the insertion profiles

The insertion profiles are clicked into the SafeClick - they are thus connected to the roof in a floating manner. Damage to the roof and module caused by thermal expansion is thus avoided.

4. insert modules

The modules are inserted into the profiles in a time-saving manner; additional fastening of the modules is completely unnecessary.

Efficient assembly and well-thought-out design

Thanks to smart planning software, a reduced number of components, and the patented SafeClick mounting system, these rooftop PV can be installed extremely quickly, safely, and easily on a wide variety of pitched roofs. The riveted SafeClick system ensures a secure and durable hold for solar systems, making it the optimal solution for PV on trapezoidal sheet metal roofs. The TRI-STAND are delivered pre-assembled and can be attached directly to the high ribs of the trapezoidal sheet metal using the appropriate rivets. To simplify preparation, we offer a special drilling jig.

After riveting the SafeClicks in place, the TRI-STAND can be installed quickly and easily without the need for additional screwing or drilling. Our insert profiles can be efficiently connected using the corresponding TRI-STAND connectors, which are simply slid into place and secured with grub screws.

The PV are easily inserted into the mounting profiles and are securely held in place by their own weight. No additional fastening of the modules is required. The floating mounting system prevents damage to the roof, mounting system, and modules caused by thermal expansion and also ensures a visually cohesive and aesthetically pleasing module array, as no thermal break is necessary. The rooftop system also offers flexible application options thanks to the ability to mount the modules vertically or horizontally. This opens up a wide range of design possibilities for creating custom roof layouts.

Safe, Sustainable, and Made in Europe

The components for our PV are manufactured in Central Europe to the highest quality standards; the components of TRI-STAND have been statically tested and optimized for wind and snow loads to ensure reliability even under extreme weather conditions. All profiles and accessories TRI-STAND under the original TRI-STAND label are covered by a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty from the date of delivery. This warranty covers both the sound condition and the technical performance of the products.

FAQs

The TS bending tool has two functions. Firstly, it is used in the insertion system and prevents the rails from moving as a result of heat and cold. For this purpose, the TS profiles are bent to the left and right of a SafeClick located in the middle of the rail. For more information, please refer to the TRI-STAND installation instructions. The second function of the bending tool is to remove a clicked-in TS rail.

TRI-STAND is suitable for all common framed solar modules with a frame thickness of 30 - 40 mm. Basically, all solar modules must be approved by the manufacturer for the insertion system, since not every module is suitable in terms of frame and load-bearing capacity.

With the insertion system, horizontal and vertical module mounting is possible without restrictions with the corresponding manufacturer's approval. For more information, please refer to the TRI-STAND assembly instructions.

Carefully check the values for wind suction and pressure. Select as many fastening points on the roof as possible, as the individual sheet metal seams can bear relatively few loads. Therefore, horizontal mounting of the PV modules is recommended for standing seam sheet metal roofs.

For installations in the insertion system that are wider than 12 m, the UP-C connector is only tightened on one side. Make sure that the universal profiles have at least 3 mm clearance to each other. For installations in the insertion system that are wider than 6 m, the TS-C connector is only tightened on one side. Make sure that the TS insertion profiles have at least 3 mm air between them. In the clamping system, the universal profile must end after 12 m at the latest and a new plant section must be started.
