Overview
Our innovative solar panel fixing solution offers unparalleled performance and reliability for seamlessly integrating solar panels onto new or existing fibreglass roofs.
With an ultra-low profile connection, just 25mm from the finished roof level, our patented design ensures long-term use without compromising the integrity of the membrane flange material. Versatility is built-in with the ability to install our product in any orientation, streamlining the installation process.
Total ingress resistance guarantees protection against water damage, while rigorous testing by the British Research Establishment (BRE) confirms exceptional wind uplift resistance. The direct connection to the structure ensures no reduction in tensile resistance even over the long term.
Technical Specs
Loading
When installed following manufacturer fitting instructions and when fixed with recommended fasteners as per European Technical Approval 15/0406 and allowing a safety factor of three on the combined mean axial pull-out value of 8 fixings.
Based on a cold roof configuration using 18mm OSB/3
Materials
Base plate – Pressed steel with PPC coating
Top connection point assembly – 304 grade stainless steel
Membrane flange – dependent on roof covering
Dimensions
O/A height from FRL | 25mm |
Base place | 250mm x 250mm |
Fixing holes | 16no. 7mm Ø for direct fixings 8no. 14mm Ø for thermally broken fixings |
Installation
Position the fixing points in the desired location, in areas of the roof that are free-draining with no ponding and check the alignment between units before fixing.
The points should be fixed to the substrate board with appropriate fixings which are configured and sent with your order based on the buildup of the roof. Direct or thermally broken fixings can be used according to the roof construction type.
Catalysed Fibrelast Base Resin should be applied to lap onto the roof covering material and also to cover the fixing plate. The centre stainless steel connection part should not be covered. Separation tape may be required to ensure no cracking of the GRP takes place should any movement occur at the base plate.
Apply the Fibrelast Topcoat over the plate and up to, but not covering the top stainless steel connection part.
