According to the related news, BASF and headquartered in Germany Nufringen plastics processors Ensinger and GoldbeckSolar companies work together to develop a method for flat roof solar modules installed modular system, which the load-bearing parts used for the first time, BASF engineering plastic.

It is known that the ultramid engineering plastics belong to BASF's polyamide product line. The ultramid plastic can not only keep low creep resistance in high temperature, it also shows excellent toughness and rigidity during low temperature, which is the ideal choice for outside application. Besides, such a high percentage of glass fiber reinforced polyamide also has excellent ultraviolet tolerability and weathering resistance, and life of them up to 20 years in the outdoor conditions. Computer simulation tool BASF unique Ultrasim member optimized to make it meet the specific requirements of the Solar Applications, snow load, pressure, etc., and make member itself achieve a lower own weight.

The new system makes the installation on the rooftop simpler. Currently, this kind of new base named SUNOLUTION has been introduced by Goldbeck Solar. The first customer projects of 300kW system have been put into operation in October this year in Aschaffenburg, Germany (Aschaffenburg).

Besides, Ensinger also takes good use of the advantage of Thermoplastics in the injection molding process and integrated multiple functions into the plastic structure. In a single manufacturing process, Ensinger uses the snap, skeleton and baffle drainage and wiring, making the parts very lightweight and easy to install. Previously, photovoltaic devices, flat-topped houses installed system, are mainly made of steel and aluminum.
