Flexible elevation with TiltUp Vento and GreenRoof Vento
The TiltUp Vento has elevation angles of 20°, 25° and 30° and offers you a flexible solution for flat concrete, gravel and green roofs with few components. A similar design is followed by the derived system variant GreenRoof Vento as a green roof support with a distance of around 38 cm between the green roof and the solar installation, which is expected to be available in Q3/2022. The GreenRoof Vento allows vertical or horizontal module alignment with 10° or 15° inclination.
New application possibilities on sandwich panels on the roof and façade
For economical and energy-efficient construction projects, we have coordinated and certified our products with Fischer Profil, leading manufacturer of construction elements for industrial and commercial buildings. In addition to installing the SpeedRail system on Fischer Profil’s sandwich roof element for pitched roofs, solar panels can now also be mounted on the manufacturer’s façade elements using our fasteners. Both solutions are expected to be available from Q3/2022.
Easier planning and management in K2 Base
Thanks to a modern user service, you can access all of our digital services with a single login and, with the help of the new company account, manage all accounts and soon share and work on projects with each other. In K2 Base, installations on hipped roofs can also soon be planned and thanks to some updates in the project report, you get a better and more interactive overview at the end of each design for even easier planning and installation.
New learning modules and languages for K2 Training
New interactive learning modules are available for newcomers and career changers on the free continuing education platform K2 Training and, due to high demand, now also in Italian, French and Spanish in addition to German and English.
K2 CheckApp and K2 DocuApp become one app
So that you can do the simple data entry from the CheckApp and the quick project documentation from the DocuApp directly in one app, both functions are now integrated in the revised K2 DocuApp. In addition to the automatic synchronisation of projects from K2 Base, it offers further relief for you with the instructions for market data entry for private customers.
Knowledge exchange in the new K2 Community
In the K2 Community you can exchange information in groups and forums about the planning and installation of PV systems, ask questions, share knowledge, comment and meet like-minded people.
Further innovations in the product portfolio
Especially for the Scandinavian market, there is the Splice Foot as a new fastener for bitumen shingles (available from Q4/2022) and the CrossHook 3S Long will soon be available with a longer extension arm (available from Q3/2022). For tile roofing, the new TileHook offers an innovative fastening with a direct load application into the rafter without time-consuming tile processing for the SingleRail and Insertion System (available Q4/2022). The RibClamp KL system is replaced by the Universal KL-Clamp System and is thus suitable for wider roof profile ribs, which are mainly found in Australia and South Africa (changeover in Q4/2022). In addition, cable management on trapezoidal sheet metal roofs will be very simple with the Minimount from PVX Multimount from Q3/2022.
