Hi
We are currently looking at an install on a barn roof that has corrugated 'cement' sheeting on it and we are wondering what is the best way to mount to it, and how many fixing points are required?
We want 2 rows of 8 landscape panels. Here is an image of the roof.
The spacing between the...
Hi there!
I've recently had a client seeking a 10kWp ground mounted system. Ground mounting is something that I haven't done before and he'd made it an obligatory requirement that we use ballasted mounting systems. I've been looking into mounting systems using concrete bases but I'm trying to...
Hi
I'm using good-old schletter/schucco mounts for my systems at the moment but sometimes they don't go well with small flat tiles as the whole system looks like it's mounted quite high off the roof, particularly on a bungalow/garage where they can be seen at closer quarters. Does anyone know...
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
Hi peeps
I am just wondering the rules for the height of a rotary isolator ( by the consumer unit for PV circuit)
Its in the toilet of a cafe and I dont want kids playing with it, do i need to keep it below 1200mm?? hope not
thanks
Tom
ps. also wonder about consumer unit heights in...
So, I'd like to quote for a couple of IN Roof systems based around Sanyo HIT panels, however, it appears that neither of our 'usual' mounting system suppliers, Schletter and Schuco, have a solution which will work with these panels; I'm told the Sanyo panel is too thin to work with the Schuco...
Can anyone pass on any advice for mounting to a flat roof??? Ive tried solion kits, however the customer is requesting that the panels are laid completly flat on thier back (Any advice on the pros and cons of this would also be good!!!!). The roof covering is a soft material and they would...
What is everyone doing for the design of mounting systems? Are you designing the system taking wind load, snow load, location, height above sea level etc into account or is it a case of a hook every 1200mm and hope for the best.
Honest answers please.......
Anyone understand the suntech manual when mounting in landscape?
It say that 4 clamps required on the short side AND 2 on the long side. How is this possible without having short stubs somehow connected to the horizontal rail or having the rail flush with the long sides?
Makes sense to have...
we have just done first install using sen sol50, does any body else have any coments on this system, as we had some issues with the so called simplicity, although to be fair it was on a Scotish slate roof with full sark boards and 40mm steel clout nails. in short what is the holy grail of...
Anybody had any experience mounting onto a roof with insulation over the rafters, a so-called warm roof?
Could you put hanger bolts down through the SIPS panels as some installers do on a slate roof? (but let's not get started on that discussion on this thread!) But would still have a problem...
Has anyone ever put panels on a flat garage felted roof? Roof size is 3mtrs by 4.5mtrs. Is there a suitable mounting system that won't penetrate the felt?
Thanks for all the help
So I installed a system with an SMA 3300 inverter in a garage last week and the customer has come back to say that it's waking him up when it kicks in at 06:30!
The inverter is on fire retardant MDF which is screwed to 25mm batons and then mounted on the outside of a brick cavity wall so I...
Needing to install a catenary wire across to an out building. Cant attach it to the gable of the buidling as the overhead supply is already taking that position up. So to get the height and to clear the eaves of the building i need some kind of stand of bracket and a pole to attach the wire to...
Has anyone used this on a concrete fiber corrugated roof? We have a couple of fairly large installations to quote and i cant find a supplier.
Help please!
Hi all,
We've been asked to quote for a ground mounted system to run along the length of a 1.2m high wall.
I've had a look at the Console system (Thanks MarkC) but could really do with the panels being mounted in portrait. The Schuco "flat roof array" system might work too. But I wonder if...
i have a potential customer who wants a PV system but is concerned about the disruption of running cabling down from loft. She is adamant that she doesn't want carpets/ floorboards disturbing and definately doesn't want cable chases because of her expensive wallpaper and trunking is also a...
Is anyone using the Hilti mounting system.
Meet Paul form Hilti today and seen the system for the first time. Looks good stuff and answers some problem roofs in the bargain as well.
How is this kit on site? Does it go together as easy as shown in the box? How many different parts do you...
I have done slate and tiled roof PV installs - what mounting systems do folks use / recommend for corrugated mild steel roofing as found on commercial warehouses?
Thanks in advance
