Types of Solar Installations
Rafterbolt Mounting for Slate Roofs
Rafterbolts fix directly through the slate on to the roof structure.
Where a slate roof is present we use specialist fixings to ensure that roof penetrations are completely watertight. This is achieved with the use of specially-designed flashing placed around the stainless steel roof hook.
Roofhook Mounting for Tiled Roofs
Suitable for all types of tiles, roofhook mounting is the most economical option for existing roofs.
This mounting system is the most common option for all types of tiled roofs. Brackets are securely fixed to the rafters of the roof, creating a weathertight and solid frame to which the panels are attached.
In-Roof Mounting for Slate and Tiled Roofs
A low profile solution that fully integrates into your roof, replacing the slates or tiles.
For a sleek and unobtrusive profile, we recommend the use of specialised in-roof trays. This kit can be installed with many roof coverings to allow solar PV panels to sit flush with the tiles or slates, whilst maintaining a watertight covering and secure fixing points for panels.
This option is particularly suitable for new build properties, where it not only is aesthetically pleasing but also affords savings on tiles or slates that would otherwise have been covered by the panels themselves.
Metal Roof Solar Mounting Systems
The mounting solution for buildings with a metal corrugated roof.
Many commercial buildings have a roof with a metal roof covering and we specify a particular mounting bracket for this application. The Renusol Short Rail is supplied complete with EPDM mounting seals and is secured using four self-tapping screws to stitch the mounting bracket to the metal roof ensuring a strong and fully watertight seal. These brackets are a simple but very effective way of mounting solar to a building with a metal roof.
Groundmount Photovoltaic Systems
For the optimum positioning of your solar panels to maximise solar generation.
Where there is no suitable roof, or where land is available for use, it is possible to mount a solar array on the ground.
We recommend a frame system to raise the panels off the ground. This allows us to perfect the pitch and orientation of the panels for maximum solar output, with a safe and secure installation.
Flat Roof Mounting Systems
Quick to install without needing to penetrate your flat roof membrane.
For flat roofs that are suitable for solar installations, we use console tubs, filled with ballast (sandbags or paving slabs, with weights calculated according to each site).
Rails and panels are fixed to the weighted tubs which means that we avoid unnecessary penetrations of a flat roof covering. Plastic troughs made of HDPE distributes the weight on the solar PV panels, making it a safe and practical option.
Photovoltaic Wall Mounted Facades
Energise your facade with solar panels with building integrated systems.
We supply and fit a range of facade mounting systems, from specialist solar curtainwall framing systems, to canopy frameworks that provide shade and naturally increase building ventilation.
Solar cladding allows you to integrate solar cells into the skin of buildings. The integrated renewable energy solution comes in a variety of sizes, energy yields and colours.
Contact us early in your design phase to discuss your solar facade requirements.
