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.

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!
