Installing Solar On Trapezodial Metal Roof

The concept of combining pv arrays with standing seam metal roofing is growing for good reasons.

Installing solar on trapezodial metal roof.

All standard pv modules can be mounted on pitched trapezoid metal roof with our optimized system designed. 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. 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.

Panel mounts clamp to the seam without penetrations. If the structure has a standing seam roof solar installation is somewhat easier. As a universal trapezoid solar panel mounts system for metal roof spc mounting bracket is applied for different sizes of panels and trapezoidal roofs to install. Unlike the vertical seam metal roofs above there s not a quick fix for metal roof shingles.

50 year warranties are common and you shouldn t be surprised if your slate roof lasts for more than 100 years. Besides just the many different types of metal there are also different metal roofing systems. Our versatile roof clamps can be used on most common trapezoidal mounting rail systems. Can service not only small solar systems but even large multi megawatt systems.

Spc trapezoid metal roof mounting bracket is flat mounting with a h rail. Installing solar panels requires more labor and tweaking from installers while on the roof to make sure everything is safe and water tight. Fix the roof mounts on the trapezoidal metal roof first and connect the clamp to solar mounting rail by bolt and toggle. As such brackets for trapezoidal metal roofs also vary in shape.

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. They are installed with a similar philosophy as the corrugated metal brackets.
