Using FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) grating as a walkway on a solar roof can be a practical and durable solution. Sino Composite offers FRP gratings walkway for lots of projects all over the world.

We also offer aluminum amounting system for customers.

Material Properties: FRP is lightweight, durable, corrosion-resistant, and non-conductive, making it suitable for outdoor applications like solar roofs. It can withstand harsh weather conditions, UV radiation, and chemical exposure.

Safety: FRP grating provides a non-slip surface, enhancing safety for maintenance workers accessing the solar panels. Its open mesh design allows water to drain through, reducing the risk of slipping, particularly in wet conditions.

Installation: FRP grating is relatively easy to install and can be customized to fit specific roof dimensions. It can be secured using clips or brackets without penetrating the roof surface, maintaining the integrity of the solar panel installation.

Maintenance: FRP requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional materials like steel or wood. It doesn’t rust, corrode, or rot, reducing the need for frequent inspections and repairs.

Cost-effectiveness: While the initial cost of FRP grating may be higher than some alternatives, its long-term durability and low maintenance requirements can result in cost savings over time.

Load Bearing Capacity: Ensure that the FRP grating chosen has the appropriate load-bearing capacity to support the weight of maintenance personnel and equipment. Consider factors such as snow accumulation, wind loads, and any additional loads imposed during maintenance activities.

Compatibility with Solar Panels: Verify that the chosen FRP grating material is compatible with the type of solar panels installed on the roof. It should not interfere with the panels’ efficiency or obstruct sunlight.

Compliance: Check local building codes and regulations to ensure compliance with safety standards and requirements for walkways on rooftops, especially those with solar installations.

Customization: FRP grating can be customized in terms of color, mesh size, and surface pattern to match aesthetic preferences and functional requirements.

Overall, using FRP grating as a walkway on a solar roof offers several advantages in terms of safety, durability, and ease of installation and maintenance. It’s essential to select high-quality FRP materials and ensure proper installation to maximize the benefits and longevity of the walkway system.
