Installing Electrical Through Insulated Panels (Bondor SolarSpan) – What You Need to Know in Perth
Insulated roofing panels like Bondor SolarSpan have become a popular choice for modern patios and alfresco areas in Perth. They’re sleek, energy-efficient, and perfect for the WA climate. But when it comes to installing electrical through insulated panels, many homeowners are unsure what’s possible—and what’s safe. This guide explains everything you need to know about lighting, wiring, and more when working with insulated panels.
What Are Insulated Roof Panels?
Insulated roofing panels such as Bondor SolarSpan combine three layers in one: a roof sheet, an insulating core, and a ceiling finish. This makes them ideal for patios, carports, and verandas. However, their compact layered construction presents challenges when you want to install electrical fixtures like lights or fans.
Can You Install Lights in SolarSpan Panels?
Yes, you can install lights into Bondor SolarSpan panels, but it requires precision, the right tools, and an experienced Perth electrician. Cutting into the panel incorrectly can cause permanent damage or void the manufacturer’s warranty.
Key Considerations for Safe Installation
- Use low-profile LED downlights designed for insulated panels
- Ensure all wiring is heat-rated and UV-resistant
- Always use IP-rated lighting fixtures for outdoor or alfresco areas
- Installations must be done by a licensed electrician to comply with AS/NZS 3000 standards
