What are solar mounting and racks?

Solar mounting and racking systems are the structures a solar PV panel would be mounted unto. The core function of solar mounting / racking system is to allow solar panels to rest on a surface, be it ground or rooftop mounted, and hold it in place to receive the most sunlight throughout the years – allowing the solar panels to consistently generate solar electricity.

Why are solar mounting & racking so important?

Without a proper solar mounting / racking system, your solar PV panels would be susceptible to vibrations caused by naturals elements, like wind, which may result in solar PV panels to become loose and cause undesired affects.

Solar mounting / racking systems are generally made of aluminum. It’s a strong, sturdy material, and does well against the weather.

The different types of solar mounting / racking systems

Solar mounting / racking systems are often seen with solar rails, where the solar PV modules rests on. The solar PV modules are locked down to the railings with clamps. These railings can be extended to allow solar PV modules to be inclined to better receive sunlight. There are mounts specially designed for pitched roofs, ground mounted and flat roofs. Though as technology grows, we’re seeing more carport mounts and floating solar mounts too.

Solar racks are then retrofitted on rooftops (slated, flat concrete, metal deck, etc) with additional accessories to help hold the railings on the roof.

GRD Tile Roof Mountings is designed with great suitability for installing framed and framless panels on the roof, which are applied to both commercial and residential roof system.

Innovative design, pre-assembled  clamp and standard components make the installation simple to save your installation time and cost.

Different hooks are compatible with various tile roofs.

Color steel roof mountings is suitable for large area color steel roof, need to match aluminum alloy clamping hook respectively according to different types of color steel roof, which including standing seam roof, angle break type roof, buckle type roof, fixed part connection type roof, to achieve the most stable installation effect.

This kind of fixed way will not damage the waterproofing of the original building, and can be effectively combined with the original roof.

Standing Seam Roof Mounting is designed with exclusive clip lock kit for metal roof sheet with non-penetration solution.

Which makes the roof sheet be beyond rust, keep the roof intact and better water proof.

It eliminates the need for traditional L feet, just need bolt to fix, save labor time and reduce materials used in installations.

With GRD highly pre-assembled structure, can make the installation steps much easier.
