Please let me know who makes these and who supplies. I think i have seen a system that screws into the high ridge with rubber epdm under the fixing plate.
thanks guys

Have a search for corrugated cement roof sheets, the same sort bolts can be used for both. There was even a you tube video iirc.

What's s the profile - do you mean metak corrugated or trapezoidal? the video is here: Schletter, it;s a good system as it transfers the load to the purlin and not the sheet: Fix-T

Here's a version for corrugated sheet:

Thanks for the reply but i think you are describing hanger bolt style into rafter or purlin. I was trying to describe a mount that just screws into the metal roof (several fixings needed) with rubber epdm under it.
Anyone else used something like this?

@saint, how big a system? what thickness are the panels? what roof slope?

The Fix-T is fine for a small (10kWp) or so system if you're going bigger, then a very cost effective system is the one we got from Avontech Renewable Solutions used here: (aka PV Heaven !!)

Avontech is a totally seperate company, we have a close business relationship that works to our mutual benefit, we do a LOT of business with them, they look after us well.

Thats the Sen Sol-50 system we considered using it but its end support only which means only some panels can be used and you risk micro cracking in the cells over the longer term, it is a nice system tho very easy. Wind and Sun also do it!
