Installing Solar On Trapezodial Metal Roof

Our versatile roof clamps can be used on most common trapezoidal mounting rail systems.

Installing solar on trapezodial metal roof.

Can service not only small solar systems but even large multi megawatt systems. Fix the roof mounts on the trapezoidal metal roof first and connect the clamp to solar mounting rail by bolt and toggle. They are installed with a similar philosophy as the corrugated metal brackets. If you have a metal roof in good shape go ahead and install solar panels on them.

Installing solar on metal roof shingles is more challenging than other metal roofs. For solar panel systems installed on trapezoidal metal roofs trapezoidal roofing typically has more flat areas in between each peak and the height of each ridge may vary. As such brackets for trapezoidal metal roofs also vary in shape. The concept of combining pv arrays with standing seam metal roofing is growing for good reasons.

Metal roofs have a life expectancy of more than 40 years. Tile roofs whether the material is clay slate or concrete one of the big advantages of tile is extreme durability. Trapezoidal and corrugated metal roofs though often require a direct attachment to the roofing structure. This mounting system can be installed on slope roof from 0 degree to 60 degree.

All standard pv modules can be mounted on pitched trapezoid metal roof with our optimized system designed. Unlike the vertical seam metal roofs above there s not a quick fix for metal roof shingles. Panel mounts clamp to the seam without penetrations. If the structure has a standing seam roof solar installation is somewhat easier.

Spc trapezoid metal roof mounting bracket is flat mounting with a h rail. Besides just the many different types of metal there are also different metal roofing systems. Installing solar panels requires more labor and tweaking from installers while on the roof to make sure everything is safe and water tight.
