I have recently had an installation completed on a steel profile roof, which is supported on a timber main structure. Is it necessary to earth the steel profile roof on which an array is mounted and should the array be earthed/bonded to the roof. 4kwp to TL inverter, single storey building...
Any know of a solution for mounting panels on a fibre cement roof that has concrete beams/purlins underneath? The bolts that hold the roof down have a hook which hooks to the bottom of the concrete purlin to keep the sheets in place, but with the weight of the panels I'm guessing the only way to...
How solar panels can dim mortgage prospects | Money | The Guardian
As suspected problems starting to crop up in the RAR market. The inflated 15k price when it was installed last year now looks extortionate compared to today's prices which makes this look even worse. Tricky situation methinks.
Hi we are installing Sanyo's on to a flat roof which will have a significant wind factor as it is quite exposed. The installation is in London my question is what would be the best mounting system. I was thinking of mounting them landscape using a schuco mounting bracket. If any one has advice...
Hello all,
We've just had some solar panels fitted to our house (not yet commissioned or fully paid for), but I have a few concerns about the installation so far, which I'd like to pick your brains about.
The main concern is that the cables connecting the panels loop down and rest on the slate...

Trying to build an equipment list for a job on Wednesday.
Its a Kalzip round seam roof with seams at 400mm centres.
I'm using Schletter clamps

I've managed to get everything else but roof kit and the usual suspects are having problems getting stock to me. So, everything else available might have to use blu tack to stick them to the roof!
Apart from warranties I haven't had a problem with Segen so I'm thinking it would be more...
Hello,
has any one had any experience with a flat roof within a conservation area? The roof has a 300mm parapet and the panels would be about 500mm at their highest point, but as they would be installed more than 1 m away from the parapet and the building is quite high, they would not be...
Kranich Hooks for Plain Tile roofs, as anyone used them, has anyone even seen them? - a roofer we use a lot keeps telling me to get them but even when i google them i can't find anything.
Anyone know any suppliers, i need to check them out.
Hi
I'm looking at a roof which is counter battened which is causing me some confusion, so perhaps someone can help me out. Basically, if I put my roof hook above the horizontal batten, then it will sit on the lower vertical one and 'rock' as the batten isn't wide enough to support the hook...
Hi
I'm looking at doing an in-roof system on a slate roof which is a re-roof. So, I'm wondering if anyone has done this and can offer any advice? I'm yet to talk to my roofers but currently thinking about possible gotchas with thin slate around in-roof frame.
Also, can anyone suggest a good...
Hi
Does anyone know of a product that we can alter the angle of the panels on a metal roof, the angle is 7 degrees and they would like 15-30 degrees, there is a 180 panels going on the roof so shading of each panel could be an issue.
Any ideas would be gratefull
Thanks
Sorry if this is out of place here... But any advice from real world experience would help.
Rather than designing PV system using off the shelf mounting systems like Consoles for example where the ballast requirements can easly be ascertained from the installation manual, I'd like to explore...
I've got 17 Renusol Console 4.1s for sale. They were installed for 3 weeks and are now not needed. I'm too new to post a link, I think, but you can find pictures and details on ebay - search for "solar pv consoles" or item 330675801754. Thanks, Rob.
I'll try a link just in case it works:

Anyone know of a source for these roof hooks that isn't Avontech Renewables? Looking to try their hook for Rosemary tiles but anyone who is too busy to be able to even give me a price but may, if they get time(!), call me back later doesn't really instill me with that 'spending money with them'...
If any of you could help me compile or if anyone has panel specs ( dimensions ) as together with our metal fabricators they came up with a design for variable mountings summer winter pitches to increase yield , we only use the one type of panel but if you could post me the panels you use with...
