Sunbeam Nova barre M-1300

The Sunbeam Nova bar M-1300 – 12.10-1300-M is a structural component of the Sunbeam Nova photovoltaic mounting system, developed for professional flat-roof installations with ballast. Designed for photovoltaic installers, this profile provides mechanical support for solar panels in a south-facing configuration with a row spacing of 1300 mm, optimizing the distance between module rows while ensuring structural stability suited to wind loads and required ballast. Manufactured from metal materials suitable for outdoor conditions, this mounting bar forms the load-bearing base on which the dragers (module supports) and other components of the Nova system are fixed. The Sunbeam Nova system stands out for its simple and lightweight design, which facilitates installation on flat roofs while reducing the number of parts required for assembly and improving installation team productivity. From a technical standpoint, the M-1300 bar supports a standard panel tilt of 12° in a south-facing configuration, optimizing solar exposure and maximizing energy production while maintaining a low profile that limits wind exposure and reduces the amount of ballast required per row. As a type M (Medium) bar, it is suitable for modules of common size and weight, offering wide compatibility with most framed photovoltaic panels available on the market. In practice, this structural bar integrates easily into medium- to large-scale photovoltaic projects on flat roofs with bitumen, PVC, or EPDM systems, where ease of installation, mechanical stability, and durability are key factors. It works seamlessly with other components of the Sunbeam Nova range (dragers, feet, ballast plates, and accessories), enabling a modular and standardized approach that streamlines worksites and reduces the need for specific parts. Compared to heavier mounting solutions or systems less dedicated to flat roofs, the M-1300 bar offers a balanced compromise between performance, ease of installation, and integration within a complete photovoltaic mounting system, making it a relevant choice for professional photovoltaic installers seeking to optimize energy yield, installation quality, and long-term reliability of their solar projects.
