Corrugated iron roofs are often seen on industrial halls, barns and agricultural buildings. Installing solar panels on this type of roof is quite possible, but only with the right system.
Incorrect fastening can cause damage, leakage or excessive load on the plate. With a suitable mounting system, the roof remains watertight and the installation safe.
There are two common types:
When mounting on corrugated sheets, you should pay attention to:
With fiberglass corrugated sheets, you usually work with hanger screws. These are fixed in the substructure and ensure a secure installation without damaging the corrugated sheet. In combination with corrugated iron brackets , you bring the profiles to the right height.
Suitable systems:
With corrugated steel sheets, you often use a corrugated sheet adapter (trapezoidal profile). This is attached directly to the roof plate and is suitable for landscape setups.
Suitable systems:
The choice depends on the profile of the roof sheet and the desired arrangement.
Both systems are available in blank, semi-black and fully black.

The ValkPitched– Clamp and ValkPitched – Insert systems are suitable for both glass fibre and corrugated steel sheets.
Yes, the systems are widely applicable and suitable for different profile heights and materials. View the datasheet for the exact possibilities.
By using the right seal:
This prevents leakage and keeps the roof protected.
Please check this in advance. Adjust the attachment or ask for technical advice. The datasheet gives the requirements for each situation.
Both systems are suitable for most standard and larger solar panels, including high-power panels.
'The roof hooks for the ValkPitched - Smartline are attached to the wood with a screw system, which means they’re more securely fastened. Especially in areas with higher winds and in coastal regions, that’s the ideal solution, but for severe storms in general this system can withstand more than a system in which the roof hooks are hooked around the wood.'
