With the popularity of solar technology, more and more homes and businesses are choosing to install solar panels to reduce energy bills and protect the environment. The selection and installation of roof mounts is a crucial step in the installation of solar systems. Especially when installing solar panels on tile roofs, using the right mounts can ensure the stability and long-term performance of the panels.
1. Installation Preparation
Before installing tile roof mounts, you need to do adequate preparation:
– Check the roof structure: Make sure the roof structure is stable and has no serious damage or aging problems. This includes checking whether the roof tiles are intact and whether the wooden beams or concrete structures are reliable.
– Choose the right mount: Choose the right mount according to the type of roof tiles, roof angle, and size of the solar panel. Different tile types (such as flat tiles, corrugated tiles, etc.) require different designs of mounts.
– Measure and mark the location: Mark the installation location of the mount on the roof. This requires ensuring that the mount can be firmly fixed to the main structure of the roof and matches the installation requirements of the solar panel.
2. Installation steps
– Install the bracket foundation: First install the base part of the bracket according to the marked position. For penetrating brackets, carefully drill holes and seal them to prevent water leakage. For non-penetrating brackets, fix the clamps according to the instructions.
– Fix the bracket: Fix the main part of the bracket to the base part, making sure that each bracket is firmly installed and flush with the roof surface.
– Install the solar panel: Place the solar panel on the bracket and fix it firmly with a dedicated fixture. Make sure that the installation angle and direction of the panel meet the design requirements to maximize the utilization efficiency of solar energy.
3. Inspection and maintenance
After the installation is completed, conduct a comprehensive inspection to ensure that all brackets and panels are stable and not loose. Regularly check the fixing of the brackets and the cleanliness of the panels to ensure the long-term stable operation of the system. Especially after bad weather, it is very necessary to check the integrity of the brackets and panels.
