Ask a question about this product

Standing seam roofs are common in metal roofs, such as steel or aluminum roofing. 

Installing solar panels on this type of roof requires a special approach. You should not pierce the seam, as this can cause damage and leakage. 

With the right clamping systems, you can securely attach solar panels without damaging the roof. This keeps the roof waterproof and durable. 

What installers should pay attention to

When mounting on a standing seam roof, these are the most important points: 

  • Do not drill into the seam: prevents damage and leakage  
  • Maintaining waterproofing: roof continues to function properly  
  • Different shapes of seam: flat or round seams  
  • Checking load-bearing capacity: roof must be able to withstand extra load  
  • Hide cables neatly: safe and clear
