As an experienced solar engineer, you know that time is money. This is exactly where easyLIGHT shows its strengths. The substructure was designed in such a way that it requires just a few, universally applicable components. Many components are already pre-assembled, which saves you fiddling around on the construction site. You can rely on everything to fit together intuitively — rolling around long assembly instructions was a thing of the past. With easyLIGHT, you can tighten your photovoltaic modules in no time at all. In fact, a system with a nominal output of around 1 kWp can be installed in around five minutes — it couldn't be faster! This allows you to upgrade more modules per day and complete projects faster. That not only makes you happy, but also your customers.
Another advantage: No heavy equipment is required to install easyLIGHT. Thanks to the lightweight construction, you can transport the components to the roof without a crane. Plugging and screwing together is also easy with normal tools — a single socket wrench is often enough for all connections. This allows you to work more efficiently, save personnel costs and drastically reduce the installation time of your PV system. In short: easyLIGHT makes installation easy.
The easyLIGHT flat roof system consistently uses lightweight construction. All supports and brackets are made of aluminum profiles, which offer an optimal ratio of weight to stability. In plain language: The substructure supports your solar modules reliably, but only weighs a minimum of its own onto the roof. This has several advantages for you:
Last but not least, easyLIGHT's material-saving approach has a direct effect on the price. Savings of around 30% compared to comparable assembly systems are possible without sacrificing quality. So you get an extremely economical PV mounting system that protects your budget and that of your customers.
Flat roofs place special demands on mounting systems: They should be stable in wind and weather without damaging the roof covering. easyLIGHT meets exactly that. It is an aerodynamic assembly system that cleverly utilizes wind forces through sophisticated wind control elements and its design. Wind tunnel tests have confirmed that easyLIGHT remains stable even at high wind speeds. The flow-optimized geometry reduces buoyancy, which means that the system sticks to the roof almost by itself. The result: In most cases, it is sufficient to place ballast weights on the appropriate brackets — roof penetrations are not necessary.
For you, this means no drilling, no dowels and no sealing of holes. The roof seal remains intact and the risk of leaks is eliminated. This is particularly important on film and bitumen roofs, where any breakthrough can be problematic. Instead, the loads are spread over support points with fleece building protection mats, which we include with the system. These mats act as padding between aluminum and roof foil — this prevents pressure points and damage. So you can also use easyLIGHT on sensitive surfaces, such as green roofs or roofs with insulation, without having to have sleepless nights.
Another advantage of the ballasted system: You can use easyLIGHT on almost any flat roof. Whether it's a foil, bitumen, concrete or gravel roof — easyLIGHT adapts. It works flawlessly even on slight slopes: roof slopes of up to 5° can be achieved without any special measures. If your roof is more inclined, we offer optional suitable roof anchors or fixings to ensure safe installation there as well. This gives you maximum flexibility and allows you to use a single assembly system for a wide variety of projects.
One aspect of PV mounting systems that is often underestimated is the rear ventilation of the modules. easyLIGHT provides the best conditions here: The modules sit on brackets that leave a distance of around 60 mm from the roof surface. This gap allows air to circulate and cool the modules from below. Especially in summer, the module temperature can be kept a few degrees lower, which leads to significantly higher efficiency — your solar system delivers more kWh per installed kWp. For you and your customers, this means better performance and higher solar yields, without additional effort.
easyLIGHT also perfectly solves the issue of water drainage. After a rain shower, you don't want standing puddles on the roof or around the module feet. Our design ensures that rainwater can flow off unhindered on all sides. Neither the clamps nor the mounting brackets form barriers in which water could build up. This protects both the modules and the roof from moisture damage. In addition, the roof surface remains cleaner, as dirt and leaves are better washed away by the water. A drier roof with good drainage reduces maintenance costs in the long term and increases the lifetime of the entire PV system.
Quality is paramount at ALUMERO. The easyLIGHT flat roof system is therefore made from corrosion-resistant materials that are optimised for outdoor use. The main structure consists of aluminum profiles (EN AW 6060 T64) and galvanized steel components, supplemented by screws and small parts made of stainless steel. This combination of materials guarantees a high load capacity combined with excellent weather resistance. Rust has no chance here — even after decades of operation, the construction remains stable and safe.
We are convinced of the durability of our system: ALUMERO gives you 25 years of optimal functionality on the core components of easyLIGHT. This confidence is no coincidence — careful development work, static calculations and independent testing underpin it. The easyLIGHT system has been TÜV tested and certified in accordance with the international standard UL 2703, which, among other things, assesses the electrical grounding and mechanical resistance of PV mounting systems. For you, this means a reassuring increase in safety: You get a quality product confirmed by the testing institute that meets all relevant standards.
The mentioned integrated grounding pins in the module terminals are a practical detail. These ensure that the module frames are grounded directly when the clamps are tightened. The potential equalization has therefore already been solved constructively — you don't have to drill any extra grounding rails or holes on the modules. This saves time and avoids sources of error when it comes to plant safety. Overall, easyLIGHT therefore offers you an all-round carefree package: high mechanical stability, tested safety and a lifetime that easily keeps up with that of the PV modules.
Tip: By the way, you can make the layout of easyLIGHT even easier with our ALUMERO Solar.Pro.Tool planning program. The software takes into account all static requirements, wind and snow loads in your region and gives you a detailed plan including a parts list — so you're on the safe side before you hit the roof.
It's not just the sun that provides clean energy — the mounting system underneath can also contribute to sustainability. ALUMERO has with metagreen launched its own sustainability concept, and easyLIGHT is part of it. In concrete terms, this means that the system's aluminum profiles are Made of secondary aluminum, i.e. recycled aluminum. On average, each consists of metagreen-80% recycled alloy. As a result, the CO₂ footprint of production is massively reduced. By way of classification: The production of recycled aluminum requires only around 5% of the energy compared to primary production. This saving in energy and CO₂ directly benefits the environment — and therefore all of us.
For you and your customers, this means: With easyLIGHT, you are consciously choosing a sustainable PV mounting system that perfectly meets the ecological requirements of photovoltaics. Despite the high recycling content, you don't have to worry about the quality — the metagreen-Aluminum alloys offer the same strength and durability as conventional aluminum. So you get full performance with minimal environmental impact. More and more builders and investors today value green building materials and a good CO₂ balance of their PV systems. With easyLIGHT, you can meet this wish and at the same time set yourself apart from competitors by using sustainable technology. In this way, you make an additional contribution to climate protection while installing clean solar power — a real win-win situation.
Every roof and every PV project is different. That is why easyLIGHT is available in two versions so that you have the ideal solution for all circumstances:
Both easyLIGHT variants are fully aerodynamically optimized and wind tunnel tested — regardless of whether you opt for the South or East/West solution, you can rely on proven stability. The assembly system is delivered with suitable wind deflectors and components that are tailored to the selected orientation. Of course, module clamps, brackets and connectors are of the same quality in both versions — you always benefit from the advantages mentioned above, such as quick installation, roof protection and low weight.
Our tip: Use ALUMERO Solar.Pro.Tool software to determine the optimal variant for your project. There you can enter roof dimensions, location and module type and receive suggestions as to whether a south-facing or east/west configuration with easyLIGHT offers better performance or efficiency. That way, you'll always find the ideal solution for your customers.
