How this node works
At head and base the panel sits in a U-channel deep enough to allow its thermal movement: a gap is left at the bottom of the channel so the panel can grow without buckling, and a weep hole drains any condensation from the cells. A gasket makes the air and water seal, the profile is fixed to the structure.
