Pitched Roof Mounting System Detailed Specifications

Key Components and Specifications:

–

Rails:

These provide the structural framework for attaching the solar panels. They can be made of aluminum or steel and are designed to handle wind and snow loads. 

–

Mounting Feet/Hooks:

These secure the rails to the roof structure, often using screws, clamps, or specialized hooks that fit under or around tiles. 

–

Clamps:  

These hold the solar panels to the rails, ensuring they are firmly attached and properly spaced

–

Material Compatibility:

The mounting system components should be compatible with the roof material (e.g., tile, metal sheeting, slate) to ensure proper installation and long-term durability.

–

Weather Resistance:

Components should be made of corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., aluminum, stainless steel) to withstand harsh weather conditions. 

–

Installation Considerations:

The system should be designed for easy and efficient installation, minimizing labor costs and potential roof damage. 

–

Code Compliance:

The system should meet relevant building codes and standards for solar panel installations. 

Specific types of pitched roof systems:

–

Tile Roof Mounting Systems:

Utilize tile hooks or specialized mounting feet that integrate with the tile pattern, often requiring no penetration through the tiles themselves. 

–

Metal Roof Mounting Systems:

Employ mounting feet that fasten directly to the roof sheeting or substructure, potentially using self-tapping screws or specialized clamps. 

–

Universal Systems:

Offer flexibility to accommodate various roof types and panel configurations, often using adjustable mounting feet and rails

Additional factors:

–

Roof Pitch:

The angle of the roof impacts the design of the mounting system and the type of components used. 

–

Snow and Wind Loads:

The system must be designed to withstand the specific snow and wind loads in the installation location. 

–

Grounding and Bonding:

Proper grounding and bonding of the system are essential for electrical safety. 

–

Lightning Protection:

Consider integrating lightning protection measures, especially for systems installed on taller buildings.
