Since there are too many types of roofs, there are many different requirements for installing solar panels on the roof. In metal roofing materials alone, there are various profiles, specifications, metal types, and factors to be considered for the correct installation of photovoltaic supports. This is why it is so important to work with trusted solar installers. CHIKO Solar, as a world-renowned solar mounting system manufacturer, with 9 years of production experience, will introduce the basic method of connecting the base mounting bracket to different types of metal roofs in this article.
1. Upright lock metal roof
For the upright edged metal roof, you can use the metalclamp solar mounting system to clamp the joint. The use of metalfixtures can not damage the roof metal and prevent the roof from seeping. On the other hand, the installation efficiency is greatly improved, saving time and labor costs. CHIKO Solar's newly designed E-lock series of metalclamps can be applied to the installation of upright locking edge roof solar energy with different seams. It has versatility and great flexibility.
2. Corrugated metal roof
If you use a metal corrugated roof, you need to use another installation system. A special bracket is attached to the top of the corrugation, leaving no holes in the lower drainage area.
Trapezoidal roofs usually have more flat areas between each peak, and the height of each ridge can vary. In this way, the installation principle of the trapezoidal metalphotovoltaic support is similar to the corrugated metal roof solar mount. The idea is to make each bracket close to each trapezoidal ridge to ensure that the best drilling location is above the bottom of the roof. In any case, the standard practice for this type of roof is to use sealants to ensure that the roof does not leak.
Fall protection for installers on corrugated or trapezoidal metal roofs
If your metal roof is corrugated or trapezoidal, then one more thing to pay attention to safety and roof leakage. Since there are no fixed seams to fix the roof anchor, it is necessary to connect the safety equipment directly to the roof. Many times, this means drilling a hole in the roof solar mounting structure to connect the anchor to it. Make sure that the anti-fall anchors used by your installers will not leak water from the roof after the work is completed and removed !
