Roof
Mounting
Mounting
solar photovoltaic generators on the roof has the advantage that no
additional ground area needs to be set aside or special stands
constructed. Often roofs have the correct tilt and orientation
and are free of shadows making them the ideal supports for solar
modules.
This is especially true for new buildings where the solar system can
be taken into account from the very beginning and the roof sized,
orientated and constructed optimally.
Above Roof Mounting
Usually, a PV
system is installed above an existing roof. This is normally
done by mounting PV modules to an aluminium or galvanised steel
framework lying a few centimetres above the roof. Fixing to the
roof structure is then made using special 'roof hooks' or mounting
slates which give a secure fastening to the roof structure.
Sol-50 Roof Mounting System
 This
is a universal fixing system specially developed for use with framed
photovoltaic modules to give a safe & simple method of assembly with
minimum installation time.
Rather
than screwing into the mounting system modules are inserted and
locked into the system using special aluminium profiles.
This
avoids stress in the modules due to movements of the roof structure.
In addition modules can be assembled on the roof without tools,
offering considerable advantages in time and safety.
Using
this system aluminium framed modules with a frame size of up to 50mm
(eg. BP Solar Universal frame) can easily be assembled into an
aesthetic structure above the roof surface.
Although
an integrated appearance is achieved, best possible output is
ensured because the system is mounted above the roof allowing
sufficient ventilation.
A further
advantage is that single modules can easily be exchanged without
difficulty should this be necessary at a future date.
SOL-50
can be used with standard types of modules and is suitable for
almost any type of roof structure: above-roof on tiles, slates, or
corrugated metal; flat roof and roof canopy.

Sol-50 Above Roof Mounting System
 This
system consists of a stable aluminium framework mounted onto a
number of brackets (or roof hooks) fixed directly to the roof
structure.
Vertical
profile rails are fastened to these brackets and then carefully
spaced horizontal sectioned profiles fastened to these with mounting
screws.
The
spacing is such that modules can then simply be lowered and located
between the horizontal profiles. Assembly is fast and does not
require any tools because modules simply slot into place. They are
kept in place using only friction and gravity - no additional bolts
or fixings are required. An anti-theft device is available as an
optional extra.
For
modules with frames of < 50mm two ‘block bridges’ are also required.
Profile
lengths can be joined together using ‘profile links’. Aluminium
profile screen facings and end-caps complete the system to give a
very neat appearance.
