Although MCS certification is not currently obligatory for pitched-roof systems in the UK, Cologne, Germany-based company says the recognition indicates that its the mounting solution is of a high quality.
All the production processes were examined in detail and the levels of performance of the mounting systems were thoroughly assessed, Renusol said in a written statement.
“As far as we know, only one manufacturer other than Renusol has received MCS certification for a roof-integrated mounting system," said Jason Mccabe, Application Technician UK & Ireland at Renusol.
"The fire resistance test in particular hinges on the roof-integrated mounting system being cleverly designed and properly assembled so as to withstand fire,” he said. “InterSole, our roof-integrated mounting system, passed all the tests with flying colours.”
The German Technical Inspection Association TÜV Rheinland and the British testing institute Building Research Establishment Ltd (bre) put Renusol’s InterSole, MetaSole and VarioSole PV mounting systems through their paces in a variety of tests examining characteristics including fire resistance, wind load resistance and rainwater tightness. The three systems passed all the tests successfully and were therefore awarded MCS certification.
