Device for attaching PV panels to metal roofing

#1

Post by Stan »

I’ve banged on in the past about how to attach PV to corrugated roofing if you have access to the underside. Here is a device designed for this task if you have no access underneath and I’m sorry that it is an advert mods.

OK Gus. Don’t forget that aero loads from this fitting then have to pass into the structure of the roof. A small cluster of fasteners on each side of that corrugation into the roof is necessary.

I'll read up over a few days, it's never "that easy", but does offer options on the roof style i'm keen on.

Here’s the installation guide. It’s really good with even tips for cock-ups.

Renusol offer a few options for metal roofs. I've used the "trapezoidal portrait" ones. Quick and easy all done from above. And for our often windy area, nice that they're spread over a few ridges.
