As the focus on renewable energy continues to grow, builders merchants are experiencing an unprecedented surge in demand for solar solutions. To meet this rising need, DEKS, a leading manufacturer and distributor in the roofing, drainage, and plumbing industries, has developed a comprehensive range of high-quality, user-friendly solar products.

These innovative solutions are designed to ensure seamless integration of solar technologies with existing roofing systems, providing builders and installers with reliable, efficient, and easy-to-use options.

Solar PV Flashings
Part of the Solardek range, DEKS' Solar PV Flashings are purpose-made solutions for photovoltaic installations. These speciality flashings allow individual cables to pass through the roof to the solar panel while ensuring a watertight seal. By individually flashing the penetrating cables, these products maximise safety and eliminate wear caused by friction between the cable and roof tiles, a common issue with non-purpose-made solutions.

Solar Thermal Flashings
Also part of the Solardek range, DEKS'Solar Thermal Flashings are designed specifically for solar thermal applications. These purpose-made solutions enable pipes and cables to pass through the roof to the solar panel while maintaining a water-tight seal. Like their PV counterparts, these flashings individually protect penetrating pipes and cables, enhancing safety and reducing wear from friction with roof tiles.

SolarDek HookFlash
SolarDek HookFlash is the go to solution for weatherproofing solar panel hooks on flat tile roofs. Made from high-quality materials, this product offers protection against water penetration and leaks. Specifically for use on slate roofs, HookFlash is easy to install and provides a secure seal that can withstand harsh weather conditions. Each kit includes one SolarDek HookFlash and a foam insert to flash over on-roof solar roof hooks.

SolarDek PanelDrain
DEKS' SolarDek PanelDrain is an innovative water drain clip designed to enhance solar panel performance by eliminating water and dust accumulation. Ideal for low-tilt installations from 3° to 15°, PanelDrain's adaptable design ensures compatibility with all frame sizes, including 30mm, 32mm, and 35mm. Crafted from flexible, recyclable, and UV-protected automotive-grade plastic, PanelDrain can withstand temperatures up to 105°C, ensuring long-lasting durability in outdoor conditions.

SolarDek TileFlash
SolarDek TileFlash is an innovative tile and cable flashing solution for flat tiles. This dual-purpose product enables up to four cables to pass through the rubber tile while creating a cushion for the solar hook, reducing tile cracks and maintenance. Its lower profile design also minimises tile lift when installed with the solar hook.

SolarDek BirdBrush
SolarDek BirdBrush is a flexible polypropylene brush designed to deter birds from nesting under roof-mounted solar panels. With its dense bristles and stainless steel spine, the BirdBrush conforms to the roof shape and panel edges, creating an impenetrable barrier against birds. Available in 1-meter sections with twist-lock ends, this solution is quick and easy to install without requiring clips, fasteners, or special tools.

SolarDek Rubber Foot
Compliant with the EU ROHS standard, the SolarDek Rubber Foot is a floor-mounted rubber support designed to support Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP), pipework/cable trays, and HVAC units. Supplied with an aluminium channel section rail, locking cam bolts, nuts, washers, and a spirit level, these feet provide moderate noise and vibration absorption. They are suitable for both external and internal locations in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 80°C.

DEKS continues to lead the way in providing innovative, high-quality solutions for the solar industry. Their comprehensive range of products addresses the diverse needs of builders merchants and installers, ensuring that solar installations are not only efficient but also safe and long-lasting.

As the demand for solar solutions continues to rise, DEKS remains committed to developing products that meet the evolving needs of the market while maintaining their trademark quality and user-friendliness.
