Has anyone seen any info yet on the fixing and termination systems being envisaged?
I'm assuming there will be some necessary differences from normal steel panels in the fixing - tek screw or similar will presumably need to be replaced with something insulated, or maybe there will be fixing "zones" printed on the panels (I imagine just running a fastner through the layers would not be cool) or even pre-drilled panels? All that would decrease versatility... Maybe clips rather than screws???
Then there is the issue of bringing out the two terminals for wiring - presumably some sort of lugs on the underside?
Some sort of clever clip might do the fixing and electrical ttermination...
Any talk about combining the panels with a thermal insulation layer? This exisits in stell panels now but is pretty exy - you would expect the sorts of companies who care to put solar panels up to also have an interest in insulation, though the systems don't have to be integrated I guess.
I'd expect the first adopters to be companies installing pretty large areas as it will be worth their while to go throught the process of becoming familiar with a new building processes.
I've not seen any of that sort of thing yet...
