Do You Need to Mount Solar PV on Your Metal Roof?
The mounting method you choose can affect material costs, freight, installation time & logistics.
Solar Mounting Solutions for Exposed-Fastened Roofs
Mounting to exposed-fastened roofing requires careful attention be paid to long-term weathertightness. S-5! solutions for these roof types are created by metal roofing and building envelope experts. They are designed to outlast the PV array and roof itself. All weatherproofing seals and gaskets are state-of-the art and factory applied. Risky, field applied sealants are NEVER used with S-5! products!
Whether mounting a railed system or Direct-Attach™, durable attachment to the roof is vital. S-5! offers the best designed, tested, and engineered roof solar mounting solutions for each method.
Rail-Free (Direct-Attach™) Solar PV Mounting
The PV module attachment and the roof attachment are a single assembly, so rails are not required to provide a separate interface.
Rail-less mounting using the PVKIT® direct-attachment system, can save you up to 50% on material costs, freight and installation time using the metal roof’s own built-in rails. Your roof already comes with rails for solar mounting, why pay twice?
Rail-Based Solar PV Mounting
You can mount solar using rails that interface between the module attachments and the roof mounting attachments.
Railed and tilted rack function seamlessly with S-5! brackets on any exposed-fastened metal roof profile. S-5! offers a variety of options for flush-rail mounting.
Solar Mounting Solutions for Corrugated Roofs
You have many options for mounting solar to corrugated metal roofing.
The option you choose can greatly impact installation costs as well as and lifetime performance.
All S-5! mounting solutions utilize the best waterproofing methods available and suit the standards, roof cultures, and practices in any global market. S-5! offers corrugated exposed-fastened attachment solutions for both rail and rail-free systems.
Rail-Free (direct-attach™) Solar PV Mounting
The PV module attachment and the metal roof attachment are a single assembly, so rails are not required to provide a separate interface.
Rail-less mounting using the PVKIT® direct-attachment system can save you up to 50% on material costs, freight, and installation time when you use the metal roof’s built-in rails for solar panel attachment.
Rail-Based Solar PV Mounting
You can mount solar on corrugated metal roofs using rails that interface between the module attachments and the roof mounting attachments.
Railed and tilted rack function seamlessly with S-5! brackets on any exposed-fastened metal roof profile. S-5! offers a variety of options for flush rail mounting.
Solar Mounting Solutions for Standing Seam Roofs
The first rule of thumb in rooftop mounting to modern standing seam roofing is to do the roof no harm – that means do not penetrate it and do not inhibit its ability to thermally cycle with temperature change. The wrong mounting method can often result in violated roof warranties and roof damage.
Anchoring items to the structure through the roof threatens weather integrity and also violates the membrane’s thermal-cycling behavior by pinning the roof panels to the structure. The right mounting solution provides secure attachment without any penetration and without violating thermal movement.
S-5! offers penetration-free attachment solutions for rail and rail-free systems on standing seam and other concealed fastener roof types.
Rail-Free (direct-attach™) Solar PV Mounting
With direct-attach, the PV module attachment and the roof attachment are a single assembly, so rails are not required to provide a separate interface.
Rail-less mounting using the PVKIT® can save up to 50% on material costs, freight, and installation time using the roof’s built-in rails.
Rail-Based Solar PV Mounting
Mount solar on standing seam metal roofs using rails that interface between the module attachments and the roof mounting attachments.
Railed and tilted rack function seamlessly with S-5! clamps on any standing seam metal roof profile.
