Technical FAQs 4

What is a rooftrac solar panel mounting system?

The RoofTrac solar panel roof mounting system has been load-tested and engineered to 125mph wind load (50 lbs/square foot of pressure load) for most module types. Roof Trac secures the solar panels and prevents damage caused from high-winds and seismic forces. The Roof Trac support rail was designed to conceal all attachment hardware.

What is a solar panel roof mount?

Solar panel roof mounts play a crucial role in the installation of solar energy systems. These mounts ensure that solar panels are securely attached to the roof, allowing them to capture sunlight efficiently. Choosing the right mounting system is as important as selecting the solar panels themselves.

How do I choose solar panel mounts for a shingle roof?

When selecting solar panel mounts for a shingle roof, it’s important to consider the roof’s material and structure. Shingle roofs are common, and many mounting systems are designed to cater to their specific needs. The key is to ensure that the mounts provide a secure attachment without damaging the shingles.

Are metal roof solar panel mounts a good choice?

Metal roof solar panel mounts offer several advantages and some drawbacks. One of the main benefits is durability. Metal roofs are strong and can support solar panels effectively, reducing the risk of damage to the roof itself. The use of non-penetrating mounts further preserves the roof’s integrity. Another advantage is ease of installation.
