BIPV STEEL ROOF STRUCTURE WITH INTEGRATED SOLAR PANELS
In a BIPV (building-integrated photovoltaic) roof, the solar panels form the waterproof roof itself. We design the H-beam, C-purlin and Z-purlin frame of the building together with the PV layer, so loads, drainage and cable routes are resolved from the start. Typical uses are showrooms, supermarkets, offices and hotels that want a modern look and lower energy bills.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
CAN AN EXISTING ROOF CARRY SOLAR PANELS?
Often yes, but it must be checked. Send us the roof drawings or photos and we will check the extra load and recommend reinforcement if needed.
STEEL OR ALUMINUM MOUNTING?
Galvanized or ZAM steel is stronger and more economical for carports and large spans; aluminum is lighter for rooftops. We supply both and often combine them.
WHICH PANELS DO YOUR STRUCTURES FIT?
Our rails and clamps fit most standard framed PV modules. Tell us the module size and quantity and we will size the structure.
WHAT DO YOU NEED FOR A QUOTE?
Dimensions (length, width, height or number of floors), the site location for wind, snow and seismic loads, the intended use, and your preferred roof and wall materials. A sketch or a photo of a similar building is enough to start.
HOW IS IT PACKED AND SHIPPED?
Members are numbered, bundled and loaded in 40 ft containers or on flat racks with a packing list and erection drawings. We ship FOB Ningbo or Shanghai, or CIF to your port.
WHAT IS THE LEAD TIME?
Most orders ship 35–55 days after drawing approval, depending on tonnage and coating. Urgent projects can be split into phased shipments.
