Tiled roofs are common in the Netherlands and Belgium. Installing solar panels on roof tiles is quite possible, but you have to do it the right way.
Roof tiles can shift or break. Incorrect installation can also cause leakage. With a good mounting system, the roof remains sturdy, safe and waterproof.
When installing on tiled roofs, you should take into account:
With this system, you use roof hooks that you attach to the roof construction.
Shims ensure the right height, so that the roof tile stays in place.
Advantage: roof tiles are not loaded and the roof remains waterproof.
With this system, you slide solar panels into aluminum profiles.
Suitable if the roof is flat and even.

That depends on the type of roof tile and the roof construction. In most cases, you choose a hook system (ValkAce+). With a flat and even roof, an inlay system (ValkPitched – Insert) is also possible.
For almost all standard roof tiles. There are adapted solutions for special roof types.
Sometimes light grinding is necessary so that the roof hook fits well. This differs per roof tile.
You choose an inlay system if you want a sleek finish and the roof is flat enough. For more flexibility, use a system with clamps.
The roof hooks are placed under the roof tiles and finished correctly. This keeps the water drainage from the roof intact.
With cable management solutions, you can safely and neatly hide cables under the panels.
'We like the ValkPitched systems from Van der Valk because the system is so sturdy, which means you need fewer materials. And customers like the fact that very few materials need to be taken onto the roof.'
