K2 Buddy

Severe weather events are occurring more and more frequently. Heavy snowfall in particular can have a negative impact on PV systems and shorten their service life. In conjunction with the increasing tendency to use larger modules with lower load limits, this can lead to damage to the modules, higher maintenance costs and lower electricity yields. With the K2 Buddy, the safety of PV systems can be ensured even in snowy regions and unnecessary maintenance can be avoided. Economy meets safety!

Monitoring with integrated early warning system

  • Early warning function for impending module overloads
  • Protection of PV modules against high snow loads and damage
  • Live data on the K2 Buddy app - for installers and homeowners
  • Warranty extension from 12 to 20 years for the mounting system

Variants

Flat roof

For flat roof projects with Dome 6 systems, the K2 Buddy ensures optimum protection and minimised maintenance costs. With precise tracking of the snow loads on the PV modules, maintenance work can be significantly reduced and the safety of the system increased.

Pitched roof

The K2 Buddy can now also be installed effortlessly on tiled roofs! With just a few additional components, it can be installed on roof pitches from 15° to 45° and a rafter spacing of 0.55 m to 1.2 m in combination with the SingleHook 3S roof hook and the SingleRail 36 in a single layer.

Highlights

Security around the clock

The sensors of the K2 Buddy continuously measure the intensity of the snow load on the roof and send the data directly to the respective end device. For greater safety during and after heavy weather events or heavy snowfall.

  • Protects against excessive snow loads and the resulting damage
  • Live monitoring via the K2 Buddy app – for system owners and installers
  • Particularly attractive for larger modules with lower load limits
  • Storage and data overview of the measured values in the app

Everything at a glance

The app for installers and system owners
The K2 Buddy app provides clear information about the current status of the PV system – and in the event of high load values, a push message is reliably transmitted. The user-friendly software shows at a glance whether there is a need for action and whether the modules need to be cleared of snow.

Seamless data exchange from K2 Base

K2 Buddy can be integrated directly into the planning process in K2 Base. Data can be automatically exchanged between K2 Base and K2 Buddy to optimise the planning process. As a result, planning-relevant information is transferred seamlessly, making manual data entry superfluous and the entire process more efficient and less error-prone.

20 year K2 product guarantee

We are sure that K2 Buddy monitoring will prevent a lot of damage in the future. That’s why we are extending the warranty period for the K2 mounting system to 20 years.
