ProteaBracket™

A Versatile Solar PV Component for Attachment to Face-Fastened, Trapezoidal-Rib Metal Roof Profiles.

ProteaBracket Brochure

The ProteaBracket fits most trapezoidal sheet profiles, including pre-assembled foam core panels (IMPs - Insulated Metal Panels). 

  • Adjustable attachment base to accommodate varying rib widths, heights, and angles with multiple module mounting options
  • Attached to the sheeting only, no messy sealants and comes with a factory-applied, EPDM pad to ensure quick installation and a weather-proof fit

ProteaBracket is mounted directly onto the crown of the trapezoidal sheet using stainless-capped screws (provided) or Bulb-Tite rivets (sold separately). It has been rigorously tested for load-to-failure results in sheeting only.

Pair with the PVKIT® for a rail-less solution – also ideal for both side-bolted and bottom-bolted rail mounting.

For PV installations with extreme snow load conditions (see load tables for limitations).

Be sure to check out the many other features on the bracket overview page.

How to Install ProteaBracket on Your Roof Profile*

No surface preparation is necessary. Simply wipe away excess oils and debris; peel the release paper, align and apply.

Secure through the holes using the stainless-capped, self-piercing S-5! fasteners or Bulb-Tite rivets.The ProteaBracket is mounted directly onto the sides of the crown of the roof panel, enabling module or rail attachment anywhere along the ribs.
