A variety of product innovations were presented by Schletter Group in conjunction with the Enstall Group at the recent Intersolar exhibition. Products included mounting systems for green roofs and the commercial and industrial sector, an enhanced Agri-PV solution, and a new Rafter system for ground-mounted installations.

“As part of the Enstall Group, we can draw on a highly comprehensive portfolio: with our own systems and the extensive Enstall lineup, we cover the full spectrum of PV installations – from utility-scale systems and Agri-PV solutions to commercial and residential rooftop projects,” says Schletter CEO Daniel Rehm.

The company’s new Rafter system was presented for the first time at Intersolar, with a global market launch planned for 2027. Designed as a slide-in solution, the system enables the vertical installation of up to three modules by a single installer using a guided slide-in mechanism, instead of placing and fastening modules from above. Pre-assembled self-locking clamps are attached to the support structure. The modules are inserted from below, while integrated locking mechanisms hold them in place. Final fastening can be completed from either above or below.

The system geometry has also been designed to maximise exposure of the rear side of bifacial modules, reducing backside shading, explains Rehm.

Schletter will also present an extension of its Tracking System 1P for the Agri-PV market. The system is being developed to achieve a minimum ground clearance of 2.1 m, to meet requirements in many European Agri-PV funding and approval schemes. The increased clearance allows machinery and personnel to pass underneath while also improving light distribution.

In addition, the company showcased an extension of its ‘FixGrid Pro’ flat roof system for use on green roofs. The system is elevated using a newly developed support sheet to enable installation on green roof structures with installation heights of up to 35 cm.

With the ‘Wave’ mounting system from the ‘PanelClaw’ Enstall brand, the company says it offers a fast and easy-to-install flat roof system, primarily designed for commercial flat roof projects where large roof areas have to be covered quickly and reliably.

Schletter is also expanding its digital design tool, the ‘Schletter Creator’, to support additional roof configurations. The free browser-based software incorporates location-specific parameters such as wind and snow loads as well as roof geometries into the system design process.
