Large supermarket chain install flexible solar PV with Crestabond structural adhesives
Scott Bader has partnered with a leading lightweight solar installation expert for the installation of 746 flexible solar panels on the roof of a large UK supermarket.
The partnership included the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of a flexible solar PV system on the rooftop of the 80,000 square foot store.
In the first year alone, the solar installation is expected to generate 339,506 kWh of electricity, delivering significant carbon savings.
Why Crestabond?
Crestabond M7 structural adhesives were chosen to install the flexible solar PV panels due to their ease of use, time saving, cleanliness, strength and the 20-year adhesive guarantee.
Under testing, solar panels installed with Crestabond structural adhesives showed they can withstand 3 times the wind speeds of a typical typhoon!
