Need help choosing between a solar panel roof mount, adjustable tilt mount, or corrugated roof mount?
While our Starter kit comes with Z-brackets only, all our other solar packages come with your choice of universal roof, adjustable tilt mount, or corrugated roof mount.
Here’s a breakdown of how the different mounts are installed and used, as well as some solar panel mounting ideas, to help you pick the right one:
These are a set of Z-shaped brackets used for mounting individual panels to a flat surface, such as the roof of a caravan or a shed. These offer a simple and easy set-up, and are ideal for when you only have one or two panels to mount.
The universal solar panel roof mount allows you to mount your panels flat on any type of roof along a pair of rails. The rails are attached to the roof with L-shaped brackets, and the panels are clamped to the rails, making it much easier to mount four or more panels on your roof.
This mount performs similarly to the universal roof mount, but it is a rail-free option that sits in the grooves of corrugated iron. The mounts are secured to the roof and then the panels are clamped onto them directly instead of rails.
The tilt mount allows you to mount your panels on a flat or low pitch roof with an angle to maximise the solar energy, and the angle can be adjusted by up to 15 degrees after the initial install. The rails are attached to a triangular frame that can be mounted on a roof, or a wooden frame on the ground, and the panels are clamped to the rails.
