What are solar mounting systems?

Solar mounting systems (solar mounting systems); It is used to fix solar panels to various surfaces such as roofs, parking lots or terrain.

Solar mounting systems help hold solar panels or arrays in place and work as the support structure for the solar modules. Solar mounting systems are usually made of steel or aluminum supports that can hold solar panels in place under extreme loads from wind, snow and frost. There are different mounting systems such as rooftop and floor mounted systems; however, not every system may be suitable for your property.

What are the types of solar mounting systems?

Types of solar mounting systems may vary according to variations such as intended use, structure and installation area.

Rooftop solar mounting systems

Sloped roof solar mounting systems

Pitched roof solar mounting systems are commonly seen in residential buildings. Rail-based systems with multiple connection methods are offered for residential and commercial uses.

Flat roof solar mounting systems

Flat roof solar mounting systems are mainly used for buildings that usually have large and flat roofs, such as commercial or industrial buildings.

It is easy to install and often bends to maximize sun exposure.

Balasted and non-drilling systems

Ballasted and non-penetrating systems distribute their weight on the roof. Weight-based loading arrays are used to hold onto the roof.

These solar mounting systems use steel or aluminum making installation quick and easy.

Ground mounted solar systems

Ground-mounted solar systems are mostly used in undeveloped land (including landfills). They can also be used for residential areas but are not usually the first choice for homeowners.

These systems can be installed at any angle or orientation and are generally easier to install and maintain.

Standard floor connections

A metal frame that is hammered or screwed into the floor is used to hold the panels at a fixed angle.

Pole mounted solar energy systems

Pole-mounted solar systems include a single pole to raise multiple panels higher off the ground and allow it to tilt automatically to maximize sun exposure.

Carport mounting systems

Carport mounting systems are perfect for single or double row parking, as well as commercial and industrial parking lots. It can also be installed with EV charging stations.

Solar energy panel mounting; refers to the methods in which solar panels are fixed in place for a pitched roof, flat roof or terrain. Solar panel mounting allows for design flexibility, diverse aesthetics, and greater solar power generation.

Because each solar energy project is unique, it may not be possible to specify a single solar panel mounting system. For this reason, we have compiled the different types of solar panel mounting systems available for you.

Solar Panels for Pitched Roofs

Rooftop Solar Panels

The most common type of solar panel mounting is the rooftop system. Solar panels are fixed directly to the roof and are seen as a cost-effective solution. Because the panels are outside, rooftop solar panels are ideal for ventilation and optimum performance.

When installing a rooftop solar system, metal hooks are drilled directly into the roof rafters. In some cases it may involve the removal and replacement of some of the roof tiles.

The vertical rails go over the hooks to which your solar panels are clamped and a weatherproof seal is applied around the hooks for maximum protection.

Roof Solar Panels

Integrated solar panels on the roof are the ideal solution for new builds or anyone looking to renovate a property roof. Due to its stylish and aesthetic appearance, the roof system can be preferred. The solar panels appear flush with the rest of the roof. However, this causes less ventilation around the panels, resulting in 5-10% lower efficiency.

Flat Roof Solar Panel Systems

Flat roof solar energy systems refer to the installation of solar panels on an almost flat roof with an inclination of approximately 1-10 degrees.

How to Install Solar Panels on a Tile Roof?

The tile hook used for solar energy installation helps to reduce your labor cost by saving money by affecting the installation time of solar panels.

Tile hook mounting for solar panel installation

  • Align position indicator,
  • Mark the positions of all tile hooks,
  • Insert the tile hook and make sure all hooks are secured to the joists,
  • Install the rails horizontally / vertically,
  • Install the intermediate clamp between the two PV modules,
  • Install the end clamp for each row of solar panels,
  • Check that all solar mounting components are firmly attached and complete,
