Flat roof mounting system (5 degree tilt)

kels bels · Jan 14, 2018

Hi guys, Can any recommend a flat roof mounting system that they’ve used that has as small as a 5 degree tilt (or completely flat) on the panels?

Client doesn’t want to apply for planning permission by going over the existing height of the building (top of the ridge). And there’s only 180mm between the flat roof and top of ridge.

Renesol and others we’ve looked into are too high so any recommendations would be awesome!

Thanks!

What's the construction? Is it membrane or metal or something else?

Membrane, roof constructed so can take heavy ballast

Can you hit the joists with hanger bolts and rail it?
Or, add extra timber battens, flash over then use Renusol MetaSoles or similar. Change the screws for woodscrews but keep the washer.

Try Solion - it’s sits around 200mm from the roof surface: Solar power direct to you. | Solion - http://www.solion.co.uk/

You could have a look at the K2 speedrail kit, with the "MiniFive" upstands, which would raise up the panels by 5 degrees.

K2 have recently provided a system for me, suggest speaking with them.

I have seen K2 systems S-Dome mounting system on one my neighbor and has flat roof. It was set up at an angle of 10 degree. You can contact them if they have solution for your concern.
