3D Assembly Video for a Flat-Roof Photovoltaic System
Technical 3D Animation for Easy-to-Understand Photovoltaic Assembly Processes
A technical 3D assembly video was developed for SOLTOP Energie to showcase the Duraklick GR 10°L flat-roof mounting system. The animation shows the assembly of the system on a green flat roof and also visualizes a particularly relevant technical assembly detail: the click-in connection of the module support into the U-profile.
The Task: Visualizing the Assembly Clearly
SOLTOP was looking for a way to explain the assembly of the Duraklick GR 10°L in a clear and easy-to-understand manner. The material needed to be suitable for training and internal knowledge sharing while also providing support for customer projects.
It was particularly important to communicate technical details and individual assembly steps clearly, as these can be difficult to illustrate using photographs or conventional footage. The assembly on a green flat roof of an industrial building was to be shown as realistically as possible, reflecting the typical application area of the system.

Solution: Making Photovoltaic Assembly Easy to Understand in 3D
With a technical 3D animation, the desired assembly steps could be presented precisely and clearly, independent of a real filming location. The Duraklick GR 10°L system was visualized on a green flat roof of an industrial building and assembled step by step. This also makes it possible to show details that would be difficult to see in conventional video footage. The realistic depiction of the components and their movements creates a direct connection to the actual assembly and makes the video versatile for both training and customer projects.
Video Production Implementation - 2026
The Result: 3D Assembly Video for Photovoltaics
The technical requirements resulted in a 3D assembly video that presents the installation of the Duraklick GR 10°L clearly and realistically. The assembly on the green flat roof of an industrial building demonstrates the typical application area of the photovoltaic mounting system and makes each individual step easy to follow.
Particular attention was given to the technical assembly step of clicking the module support into the U-profile. An animated person demonstrates how the component is securely locked into place through the targeted use of the foot.
The finished video is used on SOLTOP's product page as well as on YouTube and supports training, internal knowledge sharing and customer projects.

Realistic Visualization of Technical Details in 3D
During the production, particular attention was paid to a central assembly step of the photovoltaic mounting system. The click-in connection of the module support into the U-profile was to be shown not just schematically, but as realistically as possible. For this purpose, the movement sequence was recreated in detail in 3D, taking into account the pressure applied by the foot of an employee. This makes it clear how the components are connected and what movement is required for the assembly.
Especially with technical products, 3D animation makes it possible to show such details clearly and unambiguously from different perspectives.

The Storyboard Provides the Foundation for the 3D Assembly Video
Before the actual 3D animation begins, the individual assembly steps are planned and visualized in a storyboard. For the SOLTOP project, the processes of the Duraklick GR 10°L were defined step by step and already visualized using initial 3D scenes. This made it possible to coordinate camera perspectives, movement sequences and important technical details at an early stage.
Changes can be implemented quickly and easily during this phase, before the animation begins. The storyboard also serves as a clear production template and ensures an efficient and smooth project workflow.

Contact Us NowFAQ - Frequently Asked Questions About 3D Assembly Videos for Photovoltaics and Solar Systems
Why are 3D assembly videos particularly suitable for photovoltaic mounting systems?
With a technical 3D animation, the assembly processes of photovoltaic mounting systems can be presented step by step and from different perspectives. Technical details that are difficult to see in real video footage can also be specifically visualized. This makes 3D assembly videos particularly suitable for training, technical documentation and the easy-to-understand presentation of PV mounting systems.
Can a 3D assembly video also be created for green flat roofs?
Yes. The complete assembly environment can be individually created in 3D and adapted to the respective application area. For example, photovoltaic flat roofs, industrial buildings and green roof surfaces can be realistically visualized. This creates an informative 3D visualization of the mounting system that reflects the product's actual application area.
Can people and specific assembly movements be shown in the 3D animation?
Yes. 3D people can also be modeled and animated for technical assembly videos. This makes it possible to show specific actions and movement sequences realistically. In this project, for example, the process of clicking a module support into a U-profile was shown through the targeted use of the foot. Such details make a 3D assembly instruction particularly easy to understand.
Can a 3D assembly video be used for training and customer projects?
Yes. A 3D animation for training can clearly communicate technical assembly processes and convey knowledge independently of a specific installation location. At the same time, a technical animation is suitable for customer projects, making it possible to explain the functionality and structure of a PV mounting system clearly before implementation. The video can also be used on the product page and on YouTube.
What other content can be created from a 3D animation for photovoltaics?
In addition to the actual photovoltaic assembly video, a 3D production can generate high-quality product images, detailed views, technical illustrations and additional animations. This makes it possible, for example, to create an assembly animation for solar systems, a 3D product animation or individual scenes for marketing and sales. The existing 3D data can be used for various applications and communication channels.
