Description
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. |
