Solar Panel Mounting Hardware Simplified


Properly mounting your solar panels can be tricky, and is best left to professional installers. However, just determining which type of solar panel mounting hardware to use can also be tricky. There are many different types of solar panel mounting hardware to choose from, and each one has their own pros and cons compared to each other, and are designed to handle different situations, locations and installation types.

There are four main types of solar panel mounting hardware used today – Roof Flush Mounting Hardware, Ground/Roof Tilt Mounting Hardware, Side of Pole Mounting Hardware and Top of Pole Mounting Hardware.

Roof Flush Mounting Hardware mounts your solar panels flat against your roof (flush). This is the most aesthetically pleasing way to your solar panels on your roof because they look like an extension of the roof. This is a great option for pitched roofs that are tilted at the proper level for your solar panels installation.

However, if your roof is flat, and has a very low pitch, or would like to mount your solar panels in a ground, Ground/Roof Tilt Mounting Hardware is the choice for you. Unfortunately, the Tilt Mounting Hardware is not as aesthetically pleasing as the Flush Mounting Hardware, and though there is more flexibility in the installation design, an array takes up far more room because careful attention has to be paid to shading and panel placement.

Side of Pole and Top of Pole Mounting Hardware mount solar panels on new, or pre-existing steel poles to keep solar panels off of your roof, or in a remote location where the solar exposure is better than directly on, or around, you home or office.
