Vertix Systems has launched EasySeam® Solar System, an innovative combination of metal standing seam roofing and high-efficiency integrated solar PV technology, that delivers both outstanding performance and exceptional aesthetics.
For architects, developers and homeowners looking for sustainable building solutions without compromising design, EasySeam Solar System offers a smarter approach to solar generation. By integrating Solar PV laminate modules directly into the roof panel during manufacture, the system transforms the roof into a clean, efficient source of renewable energy.
Unlike conventional solar installations that are mounted above a completed roof using rails, brackets and fixings, EasySeam Solar System incorporates factory-bonded Solar PV within the pan of the EasySeam standing seam roof panel. The result is a sleek, low-profile appearance that is almost indistinguishable from the rest of the roof and which maintains the clean lines and contemporary aesthetic that standing seam systems are known for.
Performance Designed for the Future
EasySeam Solar System is capable of achieving a minimum power output of 146W/m², providing an effective renewable energy solution for residential, commercial and public-sector projects. The integrated Solar PV laminate technology offers a cell efficiency of up to 24%, delivering performance comparable to many traditional mounted crystalline Solar PV systems.
Long-term energy generation is supported by a comprehensive performance warranty, guaranteeing a minimum power output of 90% during the first 10 years and 80% for the following 15 years. This ensures building owners can invest with confidence, knowing EasySeam Solar System is designed to deliver reliable energy production for decades.
Built for UK Conditions
A key benefit of EasySeam Solar System is its suitability for the UK’s often challenging weather conditions. The Solar PV laminate incorporates a multiple bypass diode design, allowing the modules to continue performing effectively in low-light environments and areas subject to partial shading.
This enhanced low-light performance means EasySeam Solar System isn’t limited to south-facing roof elevations and can be successfully utilised on east and west-facing roofs, helping maximise renewable energy opportunities across a wider range of building designs.
Factory-Bonded for Quality and Durability
The Solar PV laminate modules are factory bonded to EasySeam roof panels under controlled manufacturing conditions before delivery to site. This process ensures optimal adhesion, consistent quality and long-term durability.
Each EasySeam Solar System panel is electrically tested before leaving Vertix Systems manufacturing facility, providing additional quality assurance and peace of mind for installers and clients alike.
Lightweight Design Eliminates Structural Concerns
Traditional mounted Solar PV installations can add significant weight to a building and may require additional structural calculations or strengthening work. EasySeam Solar System avoids these challenges thanks to its lightweight integrated design.
With a fully installed weight of less than 11kg/m², EasySeam Solar System places minimal additional load on the building structure, making it particularly attractive for refurbishment projects where structural capacity can often be a concern.
The absence of mounting rails, brackets and roof penetrations also reduces potential long-term maintenance issues, whilst improving wind resistance and preserving the integrity of the roof system.
Faster Installation, Reduced Costs
EasySeam Solar System streamlines construction by combining roof and solar installation into one single process. This integrated approach reduces overall construction time, simplifies procurement and minimises site coordination requirements, helping to lower project costs and accelerating programme delivery. An MCS-certified electrical contractor is then required only to complete the final connection and certification process.
Sustainability Without Compromise
EasySeam Solar System provides a practical solution that combines renewable energy generation with contemporary architectural design. By integrating solar technology directly into the roofing system, Vertix Systems has created a solution that enhances sustainability, reduces environmental impact and maintains the visual integrity of the building, proving that performance and aesthetics can work seamlessly together.
For architects, contractors and property owners seeking a future-ready roofing solution, EasySeam Solar System demonstrates how metal standing seam roofing and integrated Solar PV truly are a perfect match.
