Theta Product data sheet
Theta
The Theta was developed for the integration of framed and unframed PV
modules into the roofing surface. This system, designed specifically for pitched
roofs, uses proven roofing materials that ensure a watertight installation
regardless of the previous roofing material. All of this, combined with the
flexible Quickstone technology, offers reliability and ease of assembly.
Flexible applications
Theta rapidly allows the integration of framed photovoltaic modules into new and
old roofs regardless of the roof type.1 The system is mounted on top of the existing
roof battens and replaces the roofing material.
Water resistant
Due to its substructure, the Theta meets the same requirements for waterproofing
as a conventional roof. The special adaptors ensure excellent ventilation while
transferring the occurring loads onto the roof structure.2

Visually Appealing
The Theta blends in with the roof seamlessly, and creates an aesthetically
appealing mounting system.
