Find the Metal Roof Solar Mounting System that Best Suits Your Application.
There are many options when mounting solar on a metal roof, the details of which can impact installation costs and lifetime performance. Metal rooftop mounting consists of two basic parts: the roof mounting hardware and the actual solar panel attachment interface. Choosing to go with a rail-based or rail-less installation method depends on a variety of factors.
Are you mounting your system with durable and dependable products?
Your chosen mounting method can have a profound effect on the cost of materials, total installation time and labor, material handling, logistics, freight expense and much more.
What Products Does S-5! Offer for Rail-Less Solar Applications?
PVKIT®
The PVKIT attaches the modules directly to the seams or ribs of the roof without the need for the addition of rails.
The PVKIT is mounted to S-5! clamps and brackets according to roof type.
The weight of PVKIT mounting is only 15% of rail mounting. Think of the savings in freight and logistics, not to mention added load to the roof structure!
Which S-5! Attachment is The Right Way for Mounting Balance of System Components?
Balance of System refers to all of the various components of a PV system beyond the actual modules themselves. At S-5!, we offer metal roof attachments for mounting these related solar PV components on both standing seam and exposed-fastened metal roofing.
From service walkways to conduit, wire trays, optimizers, other MLPEs and monitoring equipment, you can use S-5! clamps, brackets and GRIPPERFIX® universal utility mounting system to securely attach the above ancillaries to your PV array.
All S-5! components carry a material/workmanship warranty for the life of the roof, so be assured S-5! is “on the job” for the life of the PV array!
Designed for standing seam and concealed-fix metal roof profiles, S-5! clamps can be used to mount ancillary components directly to the roof seams, without the need for any additional interfacing hardware.
S-5! brackets are designed for mounting on exposed-fix (face-attached or thru-fastened) metal roofs. Bolt Balance of System components directly to the appropriate bracket without additional interface hardware.
GRIPPERFIX provides a dependable and corrosive-resistant attachment solution. Mount Balance of System components with zero-penetration to standing seam roofs. No need for field-applied sealants for exposed-fastened roofs.
