Solar Panel Mounting
Solar Panel mounting refers to methods of which solar panels are secured into place. Whether you are looking for a solution for a pitched roof, flat roof or field there is a unique mounting system at hand. Different kinds of solar panel mounting allow for design flexibility, varied aesthetics, and greater solar generation. Here at Deege Solar we have years of experience installing various different Solar PV systems. Every project is unique, meaning that not one type of Solar Panel mounting system suits every solar project. In this blog we will explore the different kinds of solar panel mounting systems available, hopefully helping you find the perfect Solar mounting system for your solar project.
Solar Panels For Pitched Roofs

On-Roof Solar Panels

In-Roof Solar Panels
In roof solar, or integrated solar panels are the ideal solution for new builds or anyone looking to re-roof there home. Many customers opt for an in-roof system because of the sleeker aesthetics. As the solar panel sit snugs within a tray, there is no space for birds to nest under and the panels appear flush with the rest of the roof. However, this does result in less air ventilation around the panels, resulting in a 5-10% lower efficiency.

Metal trapezoidal roofs
Solar Panel Tiles
Solar tiles are often considered the solar panel of the future. Unlike a traditional solar panel which is mounted on-top of your roof tiles, solar tiles replace your roof tiles all together. Seamlessly integrating solar technology into your property, without taking away from your home’s natural design. Although Solar tiles may look the part, their efficiencies aren’t quite on par with on-roof solar panel system just yet.
Many solar companies have tried and failed to make solar roof tiles work, however Tesla believe they have the answer. Find out more about the Tesla Solar roof.
Flat Roof Solar Panel Systems
Flat Roof solar refers to the installation of Solar Panels onto a roof which is almost level, with a pitch approximately between 1-10 degrees. When it comes down to a flat roof solution, the main concern is usually how much weight the roof can hold. Here at Deege Solar we offer a variety of PV mounting Systems for Flat Roofs. After all why should only pitched roof properties benefit from Solar?

Renusol Console Bins

East/West Mounting Solar Panel systems
Flat trapezoidal roofs
Suitable for flat trapezoidal roof structures, these metal triangular frames ensure that your solar panels are tightly secure. Screwed to the flat roof in the same way as a pitched trapezoidal roof, these triangular frames allow you to angle your solar PV panels for optimum performance. With a possible tilt angle from 5° to 45°.

Ballasted south-facing flat roof mounts
Ground Mounted Solar Panel Systems
Ground Mounted solar is a great option if your roof is unsuitable for solar PV, and you have land available. In some instances you may have more land than roof space, so choosing ground mounted solar panels would mean you can generate more solar energy. Ground mounted Solar panels are usually a great mounting solution for those looking to go completely off-grid.

Renusol Console bins
Renusol console bins are not just suitable for flat roof systems but ground mounted solar panel systems too! They allow for flexible placement and make it simple to manoeuvre the solar panels. As the solar panels are easy to access, and because the console bins are plastic they are easy to clean and maintain even on the dirtiest of solar farms.
