FAQ

1.What types of products does SOMEI supply?

SOMEI focuses on roof and wall panel systems for industrial and logistics buildings. Our main products include photovoltaic roof panels, PU insulated roof panels, rock wool roof panels, PU and rock wool wall panels, and PU/PIR cold room panels, together with matching flashings and accessories.

2. Are you a manufacturer or a trading company?

SOMEI works as a one-stop panel solution provider. We cooperate with several qualified panel factories and coordinate design, production and export for overseas projects, so that customers can source different types of roof and wall panels through one partner,

3.Which markets do you mainly serve?

We mainly serve steel structure contractors, warehouse owners and project developers in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, as well as other hot-climate regions.

4. What is the difference between photovoltaic roof panels and a metal roof with solar racks?

Photovoltaic roof panels integrate the PV modules with an insulated roof panel, so one system provides roofing, insulation and power generation. Compared with a separate metal roof plus PV racks, they reduce roof penetrations, lower structural load and simplify installation on large-span steel structures.

5.When should I choose PU insulated panels and when should I choose rock wool panels?

PU or PIR panels are recommended when energy saving and low U-values are the main priority, such as for general warehouses and factories. Rock wool panels are used in fire-critical zones or projects with strict fire regulations, because the rock wool core is non-combustible and offers higher fire resistance.

6.Can photovoltaic roof panels be used on existing buildings?

In many cases PV roof panels can be used for roof renovation projects, provided the existing structure can bear the loads and the roof layout is suitable. We need to review basic structural information, roof drawings and local codes before confirming suitability.

7.What information do you need to prepare a quotation?

We need the project location, panel type (PV roof, PU roof, rock wool roof, wall panel or cold room panel), panel thickness, colour and coating, approximate roof or wall area and basic drawings if available. The more information you share, the more accurate our proposal will be.

8.What is the usual minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

For standard PU and rock wool roof and wall panels, the MOQ is normally one 20′ or 40′ container mixed with different lengths. For customised PV roof panels and cold room panels, the MOQ will be confirmed according to the selected specification and accessories.

9.Do you provide installation service?

We normally do not send installation teams overseas, but we support your local contractors. We can provide basic installation guidelines, panel layout suggestions and technical communication before construction, so that your team can install the panels correctly.
