M Type Water Guide Trough for BIPV | Waterproof Solar Drainage Gutter

M Type Water Guide Trough is an integrated drainage and panel support solution for BIPV roofs and solar carports. The M-shaped profile collects rainwater from PV panel joints while supporting adjacent modules, helping create a cleaner and more efficient waterproof drainage system.

Product Introduction

The M Type Water Guide Trough is designed for BIPV roofs, solar carports and photovoltaic canopy systems where panel support, rainwater drainage and waterproofing need to work together.

Installed between adjacent PV panels, the raised center section supports the panel edges while the two drainage channels collect and guide rainwater along the roof slope. Water is then directed into the main drainage system, helping reduce water accumulation around panel joints.

Compared with using separate support and drainage components, the M type profile integrates both functions into one solution. This can simplify system design, make installation more straightforward and provide a practical drainage layout for different photovoltaic roof structures.

The profile can be customized to match different PV module dimensions, roof slopes, drainage requirements and project designs.
