Fixing Systems for Photovoltaic Panels

Photovoltaic Panel Mounting Systems: 5 Types and Features to Know

In the world of photovoltaics, fastening systems are a fundamental element to guarantee the stability, durability and efficiency of the systems. Whether it is a pitched roof, flat roof or ground installation, it is essential to choose the most suitable system based on the surface, exposure to wind and type of panel.

Ecogenera, based in Villar Perosa , offers a wide range of components for photovoltaic systems , including certified fastening systems that are resistant and compatible with all the main types of roofing.

Let's now look at the main types of fastening systems and their characteristics.

1. Fixing Systems on Pitched Roofs

These systems are designed to integrate with pitched roofs covered with tiles, pantiles, sheet metal or fibre cement.

Main features:

  • High strength aluminum rails , lightweight and anti-corrosion.

  • Customized anchoring hooks based on the type of roofing.

  • Compatibility with panels installed both vertically and horizontally.

  • Easy to assemble without compromising the roof structure.

Ideal for residential photovoltaic systems in existing homes.

2. Fixing Systems for Flat Roofs

They use inclined structures that ensure the correct angle of the modules, improving energy production.

Main features:

  • Triangular structures in galvanized steel or aluminum.

  • Options for ballast (without drilling) or mechanical fixing.

  • Designed to withstand high wind and snow loads.

  • Available in South (one-way orientation) or East-West (space optimization) versions.

Perfect for commercial buildings, industrial warehouses or condominiums.

3. Ground Fixing Systems

These systems are installed directly on the ground, particularly used in large-scale systems, including agricultural ones.

Main features:

  • Sturdy structures in hot-dip galvanized steel.

  • Single-pile , multiple-pile or foundation screw solutions.

  • Adjustable height to avoid shadowing between rows of panels.

  • Excellent ventilation of the modules and easy accessibility for maintenance.

Ideal for installations on agricultural land or non-buildable industrial spaces.

4. Fixing Systems for Corrugated Sheets

This type of installation uses clips and self-drilling screws directly on the sheet metal.

Main features:

  • High assembly speed.

  • Lightweight profiles that adapt to the corrugated sheet metal.

  • EPDM gaskets to ensure waterproofness.

  • No need for invasive drilling into the underlying structure.

Ideal solution for industrial roofing with corrugated or sandwich sheet metal.

5. Fixing Systems with Ballast

Also called "ballast", these are systems that do not require drilling , avoiding infiltrations or damage to the roofs.

Main features:

  • Structures weighted down with concrete blocks.

  • Using lightweight tilt frames.

  • Less impact on roof waterproofing.

  • Flexibility in the arrangement of modules.

Suitable for flat roofs with structural limitations or building constraints.

Advantages of Professional Fixing Systems

  • Safety : they ensure stability in extreme weather conditions.

  • Longevity : anti-corrosion materials and anti-rust treatments.

  • Versatility : suitable for any surface and configuration.

  • Compatibility : They support photovoltaic modules of various sizes and powers.

  • Certifications : compliant with European regulations for wind and snow loads.

Conclusion

Choosing the right fastening system is a crucial step in creating an efficient and long-lasting photovoltaic system. Relying on professional components, such as those offered by Ecogenera , means investing in safety, performance and long-term sustainability. Whether you are planning a system on a roof, on the ground or on an industrial roof, we have the right solution for you.
