Maintenance of photovoltaic systems: safety according to GUARD W

When installing a photovoltaic system, there is often a tendency to allocate the entire roof area to modules, sacrificing space for fall protection systems. This compromises safety during maintenance of photovoltaic systems  and forces companies to hire external contractors for works, increasing operating costs. 

From installation to maintenance of photovoltaic systems: GUARD W stands for protection without holes 

 
To save time and money and ensure safety during the maintenance of photovoltaic systems, the solution is to integrate a fall protection system directly during the design phase, choosing solutions designed specifically for roofs on which the solar panels will be installed.  
 
The GUARD W self-supporting railing is an effective response: it can be installed without drilling holes and guarantees the protection of workers without compromising the waterproofing of the roof. 

With its plastic-coated ballast, the GUARD W rests firmly on the surface, eliminating the risk of infiltrations. This makes it particularly suitable for roofs that house solar panels, where preserving structural integrity is crucial. In addition, the modular design allows it to be adapted to complex configurations, ensuring continuous and uniform protection for all those involved in the inspection and maintenance of photovoltaic systems. 

Security of a flat roof with panels: the example of SkyAnd in Slovakia. 

 
In an industrial warehouse in Slovakia, SkyAnd firm installed GUARD W to protect workers involved in the maintenance of the photovoltaic system. Its light weight and ease of assembly allowed for a quick and effective installation without interfering with the arrangement of the panels. 

The main advantages of GUARD W for the maintenance of photovoltaic systems  

• Safety without compromise: collective protection according to regulations. 

• Easy installation: ergonomic ballasts make installation quick and easy. 

• Durable and lightweight: made from aluminium alloy, it is strong but does not weigh down the structure. 

• Design versatility: suitable for roofs with varying configurations and slopes. 

 
The integration of GUARD W already in the design phase allows to ensure safety and optimisation of space. A choice that protects workers and reduces costs in the long term.
