Solar Panel Roof Mountings
There are many different solar panel roof mounting products on the market today, so we have chosen what we believe is the best combination of ease-of-installation, price and quality - the Unirac Solar-Mount System.
SolarMount is a rail based system which can be used on any type of roof (from felted flat roofs to highly pitched tiled roofs) and can be configured for just about any size of solar panel array. SolarMount is a modular system:
- rails - are the main beams of the mounting system, holding everything together
- splice bars - connect to separate rail lengths together
- mounting feet - attach the rails to the roof itself
- standoff feet - lift the array away from ridged roofing materials
- tilt-legs - used to raise the solar panel array to create an angled array
- panel clamps - attach the solar panels to the rails
In order to combine tensile strength and lightweight construction, all Unirac SolarMount products are made from extruded aluminium or stainless steel. Where appropriate, each component is supplied with the necessary connecting bolts, nuts and washers. The SolarMount system, isn't just a collection of mounting parts, it is a complete engineering system that gives you the flexibility to install a solar panel array that will last for years.
NOTE: In the UK, whilst you may physically fit solar panels and electrical hardware to your home, it is illegal to connect any system to the mains grid unless you are an MCS certified installer. In order to qualify for the government's 'feed-in tariff', your system must be certified by an MCS installer.
We have tried to simplify the mounting rail design process and have put together a simple guide: Designing a Roof Mounting System.
Don't forget, delivery is FREE on all orders over £250 (ex VAT) to most UK mainland destinations.
