Esdec FlatFix Fusion Rear Wind Deflector 1700 Black: Essential Aerodynamic Stability for Flat Roof Solar

Ensure the long-term stability and performance of your flat roof solar array with the black Esdec FlatFix Fusion Rear Wind Deflector (1700mm). This component plays a critical role in the aerodynamic design of the FlatFix Fusion system, helping to manage wind uplift forces acting on your solar panels. Proper system design contributes to reliable energy generation, helping you better manage your energy costs amidst varying energy tariffs.

Optimising Aerodynamics and Reducing Ballast

The primary function of this rear wind deflector is to streamline the airflow over and around the solar array. By reducing wind pressure and uplift, it contributes significantly to the overall stability of the installation. As indicated by Esdec's system design principles, effective use of wind deflectors can often lead to a reduction in the amount of ballast required, minimising the load placed on the roof structure. This deflector works in concert with the Left and Right side deflectors for complete perimeter protection.

Seamless Integration and Aesthetics

Designed for perfect compatibility, this rear deflector clicks easily and securely onto the FlatFix Fusion High Base units. Its sleek black finish provides a professional and aesthetically pleasing appearance to the rear edge of the solar array, complementing black-framed panels and other black components like the end clamps.

• Simple click-fit installation onto high base units.
• Creates a visually clean and enclosed look for the array.
• Part of a system including Low Bases, Base Profiles, and Stabilizers.

Durable Construction and System Integrity

Made from robust, weather-resistant materials typical of Esdec components, this wind deflector is built to last. It forms an essential part of the structural integrity calculations for any FlatFix Fusion layout. Relying on Esdec's engineering and their typical 20-year system warranty provides assurance in the longevity of the installation, protecting it against wind and weather year after year. For TPO or sensitive roofs, ensure compatibility with the Fusion Mat.
