All Weather Insulated Panels launches Pw-R Series for solar applications

The Pw-R Series with AWIP metal roofing includes three distinct options, each offering exceptional durability, structural stability and reflective surfaces to enhance solar panel performance.

All Weather Insulated Panels (AWIP) has announced a partnership with BPi, an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor in the solar and renewable energy industry, to launch its new Pw-R Series for metal roof solar solutions.

A field-installed solar PV solution, the rooftop assembly is designed to deliver optimal efficiency and work seamlessly with AWIP’s metal roof systems.

“Solar energy continues to grow in popularity due to its sustainable and economic benefits,” said Brian Ng, AWIP VP of engineering. “Our new Pw-R Series IMPs with solar solutions provides an exciting opportunity for commercial buildings to implement solar energy at their facility. We are excited to work alongside our partners at BPi, as this initiative is the latest example of our continued effort to bring sustainable solutions to our customers.”

The Pw-R Series with AWIP metal roofing includes three distinct options, each offering exceptional durability, structural stability and reflective surfaces to enhance solar panel performance:

Pw-R SR2 Field Assembled (Rail-Based System) – Delivering excellent resistance to higher wind loads for secure and reliable installation, this versatile design is suitable for both low and high roof slopes in portrait or landscape position. Simplified zero-roof penetration installation process protects the roof’s integrity.

Pw-R HR Field Assembled (Rail-Based System) – Providing the same robust assembly and versatile design as the Pw-R SR2, this weathertight solution features clamp assembly with factory-applied butyl backing to ensure a watertight seal.

Pw-R HR Field Assembled (Rail-Less System) – Features a simple design with minimal and lightweight components, making for easy shipment and efficient transportation. Along with its weathertight design, its efficient assembly provides quick and easy installation attaching directly to the high rib.

Insulated metal panels (IMPs) enhance energy efficiency by providing superior thermal insulation and reducing heating and cooling costs while complementing solar panel systems for enhanced sustainability. Combining IMPs with solar panels creates a high-performance building envelope that optimizes energy savings and lowers environmental impact.

While building professionals will continue to source AWIP panels as before, the company now offers customers an easy upgrade by working directly with BPi for a complete solar solution.
