What are the different types of PV mounting systems?

Usually made from stainless steel or aluminium, most mounting systems are designed for universal application, and can come in a variety of styles including tilt frame, flat roof-mounted or ground-mounted. They can be customised to meet the size and specifications of a PV installation, as well as the style of roof or installation.

What angle should a panel array be installed?

On flat-roof buildings (particularly commercial installations), panel arrays are usually installed on racks at an angle of 15–30°. Some companies typically only install at 15°; this allows for more modules to be placed on a roof, with less wind loads, lower cost, and the same yield. Yield is surprisingly insensitive to inclination.

How do you install a PV array on a roof?

Note: the PV array should not be installed closer than 500mm to the perimeter of the roof including ridge line and eaves (unless verified by a professional engineer). Attach the clamp and tighten the screw to 16 N.m using a 5mm Allen key or drill bit to roof per as planed plan position.

How do I install a proteabracket?
