Roof hooks for all roofs, a new home storage system with more capacity, a string inverter with arc detection and a low-glare solar module with special glass. Here are our top products of the week:

The Austrian supplier Aerocompact has a wide range of roof hooks in its portfolio. The latest product is a roof replacement tile with an integrated roof hook: the Compactpitch XM-F Reptile.

The Proline pitched roof system from the Schletter Group is based on a new profile geometry and new connecting elements. This makes the system lighter, more resilient and easier to install than its predecessor.

With the Tri-Stand, the manufacturer Tritec has developed a series of roof hooks for connecting solar systems to tiled roofs. The series has these two slightly different hooks.

A foldable solar system for flat roofs could speed up installation. The Swiss company Smartvolt and licence partners offer the smart solar box in Switzerland and abroad. It arrives at the installation site pre-assembled, wired and ballasted on reusable plates.

The new Vento system for green roofs from K2 Systems complements the already established flat roof systems. It combines the advantages of green roofs and photovoltaic systems.

Mounting systems manufacturer Schletter Group continues to grow in the Italian market. In cooperation with the general contractor EnValue, Schletter has successfully installed two ground-mounted systems with a total output of 48 MW near the Italian city of Udine.

The rewetting of drained peatlands in combination with a temporarily installed solar system offers additional benefits for farmers. Dieter Geyer from the ZSW in Stuttgart defined the specifications for technical developments at this year's PV Symposium.

The company has now established its eleventh international branch in Valencia. The aim is to support local installers and planners and to establish itself more firmly on the Spanish market.

With the Topfix 200, the system provider IBC Solar has developed an in-house mounting system for universal installation on pitched roofs with general building inspectorate approval from the DIBt.

PV Guided Tours: Aerocompact has enlarged its portfolio for pitched roof mounting, which enables craftsmen to build systems faster. In addition, there are additional features for flat-roof mounting. Safety is the focus. What additional options installers now have shows CTO Christian Ganahl.

The new solution from Kalzip and DiconaI combines two products in one: A non-roof-penetrating standing seam clamp for new or existing Kalzip roofs. And an interface that is compatible with the DiconaI mounting system.

Schletter Group will be supplying the mounting systems for a major 130 MW ground-mounted project in the Dominican Republic. This brings the total peak megawattage of clean power being produced on Schletter systems across the Caribbean to over 700.

PV Guided Tours: From the solar module to the power electronics to the storage device: Axitec offers all components for self consumption with solar power from a single source. CEO Steffen Wiedmann explains what is included and the benefits for the customer and the installer.

PV Guided Tours: Whether on the roof or as a roof covering itself - Craftsmen and architects need solutions for all types of installation of photovoltaic arrays. Marion Fiege and Helge Hartwig from Ernst Schweizer AG show how solar installations become an integral part of the building.

K2 Systems offers two different systems for pitched roof installation. The single-rail system is particularly suitable for projects that require quick and cost-effective installation.

Renusol, the Cologne-based manufacturer of mounting systems, has introduced a completely new roof hook. The new RH1 comes to customers with a 25 per cent increase in load capacity.

PV Guided Tours: Every Roof is different. Not only the roofings vary, but also the construction. What is needed to open up all roof surfaces for photovoltaics and still work quickly and precisely, shows Marc Uhland, product manager at novotegra.

PV Guided Tours: Pitched or flat roof, carport or ground-mounted: SL Rack has created the complete range of mounting structures for photovoltaic systems – even a solution for farmers. Florian Achatz, Sales Manager at SL Rack, explains which mounting options the company covers – all from one hand.

CEO Talk: The demand for solar systems is very high. The suppliers of mounting systems have to deliver. Not only that! They support the installers in completing the installation as quickly and reliably as possible. How mounting can be made more effective? This explains Katharina David, Co-CEO of K2 Systems.

Mounting systems manufacturer Schletter Group continues to grow in the Italian market. In cooperation with the general contractor EnValue, Schletter has successfully installed two ground-mounted systems with a total output of 48 MW near the Italian city of Udine.
