Pitched Roof Solar Panel Mounting Structure

Pitched Roof Solar Panel Mounting Structure

Pitched Roof Solar PV System is one of important common residential PV plant, The installation of solar panel array on of pitched roof mostly related to household safety,therefore how to make solar panel mounting sturdy, to minimize the damage on roof, and to make mounting earthing are quite important for pitched roof solar panel mounting structure.

When comes to pitched roof solar mounting, normally divided into two large kinds of mounting, namely solar pv tile roof mounting systems and metal (pvc) roof solar pv mounting systems. Here we are focus on Metal Roof Solar Mounting to see how to deal it for different kind of metal roofs.

Trapezoidal Roof Sheet is common metal roof which mostly used on factory plant, warehouse, shopping mall etc. Usually, those areas are better places for solar pv installation, the installation of panel must save and less harm to roof sheet.

For the small wind load areas,we may consider simple mounting systems by using mini rail to lower system cost. See below mounting solutions:

  • Mini Rail Mounting Structure:
Mini rail

multi rail mounting

For windy areas, the mounting will be more complicated, it request more material,sometime more firmly fixed to purlin, it is better to grab panel by clamping longer rail to connect panel by panel.

Corrugated Roof Sheet is also quite common used in warehouse, shopping mall and other resident occasions.

Normally mounting solutions are below.

For the lower wind load areas, it also can use mini rail and muti rail as the trapezoidal does.


Standing Seam Metal Roof Sheet also a big category in metal roofs, due to there are ridge out standing from the roof sheet, there are way to design specific clamp to grab the roof ridge which will no need to penetrate the roof sheet,no leaking issue.
