Dimond® Roofing’s innovative approach to roofing, and the advancement in solar technologies means roofs can combine modern architectural aesthetics with energy efficient savings to future proof homes or commercial buildings.

Photovoltaic Laminates have the distinct advantage that they can work at a lesser roof pitch than conventional, more obtrusive, glass solar panels. And operate on overcast days or east/west orientation without dramatic drops in efficiency.

A power station on the roof. And money in the bank!

Why use Photovoltaic Laminates?

There are many advantages in the use of Photovoltaic Laminates over traditional glass panels, some of the key points are:

• No exposed cabling.

• Rain wash reduces service requirements.

• The product is recyclable.

• It’s shade and UV tolerant.

• Photovoltaic Laminates can be used on curved roofs.

• The Photovoltaic Laminates panel has the highest kilowatt hour yield per watt (peak).

• Photovoltaic Laminates is supported by the roofing manufacturer, Dimond,® a household name.

• Unlike glass panels that protrude and need to be bolted down Photovoltaic Laminates sit in the roof tray and require no additional fixings.

• Photovoltaic Laminates are very durable, and can withstand hail storms, cricket balls or been walked on by trades, (unlike traditional solar panels). This makes them great for schools and commercial buildings.

• Photovoltaic Laminates work at a very high efficiency rate even when in the shade or at a low pitch.

• Photovoltaic Laminates can only be installed by Dimond® approved installers, giving you peace of mind in the quality of the materials and workmanship.

Like all of Dimond’s® products we rigorously tested the Photovoltaic Laminates in the Deep South where our head office is based. For a new product to work in New Zealand, particularly one that generates its own electricity the best place to test is in an area where it is most likely to fail, an area with excessive rainfall, low sun shine hours, extreme winds, hail & snow and a curious native parrot (Kea) that will destroy and eat anything it can.

Our theory is simple. If this product could survive and perform in this environment, it will perform and survive anywhere.

Dimond® began testing Photovoltaic Laminates when we partnered with the Department of Conservation (DOC) to provide a durable system that would deliver electricity to some of its most remote huts. Our starting point was

Testing regime

Dumpling Hut on the Milford track. The success of the project saw us quickly expand the product, at DOCs request, to Codfish Island in Foveaux Straight, Mintaro Hut on the Milford track, and Siberia Hut deep in the Mt Aspiring National Park.

After many return journeys, to measure the performance of the roofing and solar materials we have expanded the products’ application. It is now used on schools, private homes, farm buildings and industrial sheds across New Zealand.

Design process & install

Every building is unique. But once you have chosen a Dimond® profile for your building project we recommend that you and your designer work with us on your requirements. This takes into consideration the roof design, potential for power generation and more. (We recommend we be involved early in the design phase.)

Once a order has been placed our design team will place a order for all the solar components. Typically it takes at least 12 weeks for the Photovoltaic Laminates panels to arrive.

The install is broken into 6 parts:

1. Roofing tray is cleaned with alcohol thinners to remove all traces of silicone and dust.

2. Photovoltaic Laminates are applied one at a time to each tray then rolled with pressure to ensure maximum adhesion.

3. Once all panels are fitted, wires are run from the panels to the invertor located close to the main switchboard.

4. The invertor is wired up.

5. The local power authority connects up import export meter and grid tie from the invertor.

6. Flip switch and system commissioned ready for power generation.

Key Design Considerations / Notes

1. House/farm building roof pitch is ideally north facing

2. 12m2 of roof coverage = 1KW power production.

3. Ideally laminate lengths must remain consistent throughout roof for residential projects.

Not to scale, percentages are estimates and will depend on design. Photo-Voltaic Laminates can be installed onto Solar-Rib® roofing to a minimum pitch of 3 degrees.

Roof Efficiency Layout Ratings for PV Laminates

1. Mono Pitch - 100% of the roof exposed. Mono pitch roofs can, if long enough, be stepped allowing for a second row of laminates to be installed on the lower section of the roof.

2. Gable - 50% of the roof exposed.

3. Hip - 30% of the roof exposed. Laminates must remain the same length and cannot be integrated with another size.

Why use Photovoltaic Laminates?

There are many advantages in the use of Photovoltaic Laminates over traditional glass panels, some of the key points are:

• No exposed cabling.

• Rain wash reduces service requirements.

• The product is recyclable.

• It’s shade and UV tolerant.

• Photovoltaic Laminates can be used on curved roofs.

• The Photovoltaic Laminates panel has the highest kilowatt hour yield per watt (peak).

• Photovoltaic Laminates is supported by the roofing manufacturer, Calder Stewart Roofing, a household name.

• Unlike glass panels that protrude and need to be bolted down Photovoltaic Laminates sit in the roof tray and require no additional fixings.

• Photovoltaic Laminates are very durable, and can withstand hail storms, cricket balls or been walked on by trades, (unlike traditional solar panels). This makes them great for schools and commercial buildings.

• Photovoltaic Laminates work at a very high efficiency rate even when in the shade or at a low pitch.

• Photovoltaic Laminates can only be installed by Calder Stewart approved installers, giving you peace of mind in the quality of the materials and workmanship.

Every building is unique. But once you have chosen a Calder Stewart Roof profile for your building project we recommend that you and your designer work with us on your requirements. This takes into consideration the roof design, potential for power generation and more. (We recommend we be involved early in the design phase.)

Once a order has been placed our design team will place a order for all the solar components. Typically it takes at least 12 weeks for the Photovoltaic Laminates panels to arrive.

The install is broken into 6 parts:

1. Roofing tray is cleaned with alcohol thinners to remove all traces of silicone and dust.

2. Photovoltaic Laminates are applied one at a time to each tray then rolled with pressure to ensure maximum adhesion.

3. Once all panels are fitted, wires are run from the panels to the invertor located close to the main switchboard.

4. The invertor is wired up.

5. The local power authority connects up import export meter and grid tie from the invertor.

6. Flip switch and system commissioned ready for power generation.

Frequently Asked QuestionsQ. What roof types can I use Photovoltaic Laminates with?

A. You can use Photovoltaic Laminates with any of the Dimond® Tray roofing products which are Solar-Rib,® Heritage Tray® & Eurotray.® These profiles can be used on new homes, re-roofs and additions.

Q. How many kw do you need for the average home?

A. Between 3kw and 5kw.

Q. Can I put Dimond® on, and retro fit the panels at a later stage if I can’t afford it right away?

A. Yes we can carry out a pre wire when the roof is being fixed into place.

Q. How many square metres does it take to generate 1kw of power on my roof?

A. Approx 20 sq metres.

Q. Are there different types of Photovoltaic Laminates panel lengths?

A. Yes. Two lengths 5,923mm and 2,598mm.

Q. What is the width of the Photovoltaic panel?

A. The width is 348mm.

Q. Does my property need to be north facing?

A. If you’re starting from new, north facing is generally preferred. For existing premises we can carry out calculations to see what can be achieved.

Q. Will this heat my hot water?

A. Yes. Photovoltaic Laminates panels are designed to generate electricity. All energy generated is used first by the building. Surplus can be exported to the main grid, or stored in a battery bank. The most common practice is to export the surplus energy.

Q. Is a specific design required?

A. Yes. We can provide a turnkey package that include materials and labour.

Q. Do I need a battery bank?

A. This depends on your circumstances. Most residential and commercial buildings are grid connected. That means you simply export power back to the electricity grid. However, some areas that do not have access to the grid, so you’ll need a battery bank to save stored power.

Q. How long will it last?

A. Our warranty is 20 years

Q. Can it be recycled?

A. Yes.

Q. Will hail or snow damage the Photovoltaic Laminates?

A. No. Unlike glass, Photovoltaic Laminates is more flexible and resistant to impact; a bit like floor vinyl

Q. What is the minimum pitch Photovoltaic Laminates work at?

A. 3 degrees.

Q. Can Photovoltaic Laminates work in conjunction with wind or hydro generation?

A. Yes. Though the specific design will be determined by what type of invertors are used.

Q. Can drinking water be collected from a roof with Photovoltaic Laminates?

A. Yes. It’s absolutely safe to collect the water from your roof.

Q. How else can the Photovoltaic Laminates be used?

A. Photovoltaic Laminates can also be used for boats, campervans, RVs, small sheds etc. and are a perfect solution for such applications due to their durability and flexibility.
