Metal roofing is growing in popularity due to its cost-effective price, ease of installation and eco-friendly, low-maintenance option. From corrugated metal roofs, lead flat roofs and copper seam roofs, here at SolarTherm UK we have installed solar onto every variety of metal roof imaginable.
Unlike traditional mounting systems used on tiled roofs, a special mini rail is drilled into the ridges on the metal roof with self-tapping screws. The clamps have rubber backing and a sealant is used to ensure your system is water-tight. Solar PV panels are installed as close to the roof as possible to minimise impact from wind and prevent birds nesting underneath them – although it is still advisable to have bird mesh fitted at the time of installation.
At SolarTherm UK we will always argue that the main reason to install solar panels, regardless of your roof style, is the potential savings on your energy bills. Who wouldn’t want to save up to 70% on the rising costs of electricity?
