Solar panels raised on aluminium or hybrid columns above your existing rooftop. The roof below stays completely clear — HVAC units keep running, generators stay accessible, plant rooms stay open, and the terrace stays usable. Generate power above without sacrificing the roof below.
Everything on the roof stays operational. Panels are elevated clear of all existing equipment and activity.
Full aluminium columns for standard heights. Hybrid steel and aluminium where height or span demands it.
The elevated panel frame uses the same L1, L2 or L3 aluminium profile system as all Lmaxx products.
Engineer-stamped structural drawings for every Elevate project, including roof load and column design.
Most rooftops in Pakistan’s commercial and industrial sector are not empty. They carry HVAC condensers, cooling towers, generator exhaust stacks, water storage tanks, electrical panels and in many cases active human use — maintenance access routes, staff areas and terraces. Placing panels directly on these rooftops would require removing, relocating or working around critical equipment. Lmaxx Elevate solves this by raising the entire solar array above the rooftop on engineered columns, leaving a clearance gap that keeps everything below fully accessible and operational.
If your rooftop has nothing on it and you don’t need to use it, Lmaxx Base is the simpler and more cost-effective choice.
Multi-storey office buildings with HVAC plant rooms, cooling towers and electrical services on the roof. Elevate allows full panel coverage without touching a single piece of existing plant.
Manufacturing facilities where diesel generators, exhaust systems, ventilation plant and electrical switchrooms occupy the roof. Elevate clears above them all. Maintenance access to equipment below is retained by design.
Homes where the rooftop functions as a terrace, drying area or social space. Elevate panels overhead provide shade in summer while generating power — the terrace stays fully usable year-round below.
For standard Elevate heights — typically 1.5m to 3m above the roof surface — columns and sub-frames are fabricated entirely from Alloy 6063 aluminium. Aluminium at these heights gives full corrosion protection, zero maintenance and a service life beyond the panels above.
Where clearance requirements are higher — above 3m, or on wider-span configurations — full aluminium columns would require sections too large and heavy to be practical or economical. In these cases our structural engineer specifies a hybrid approach: structural steel columns (hot-dip galvanised or epoxy-coated) carry the load, with aluminium beams, rails and panel frames above. Steel is used because it is harder and stiffer, allowing thinner column sections at greater heights. The panel-carrying components remain aluminium throughout. The right material in the right place — not an ideology.
Elevate structures require site-specific engineering because every rooftop is different. The column positions, heights and roof fixings are designed around your specific roof structure and equipment layout.
Share your roof plan, equipment layout and clearance requirements — our structural team will design an Elevate configuration that works around everything on your roof.
