Lightweight and Flexible: Typically made from lightweight materials such as aluminum alloy, these brackets are easy to install and handle on tile roofs, minimizing the additional load on the roof structure.
Strong Adaptability: The design accommodates various types of tiles and roof shapes, such as Roman tiles, fish-scale tiles, slate tiles, and trapezoidal steel sheets. Special hooks, clamps, or bases ensure secure attachment without requiring extensive removal or damage to the existing tiles.
Modular Design: Many tile roof photovoltaic brackets adopt a modular design concept, offering high compatibility of components. This allows for flexible combinations and adjustments based on roof size and photovoltaic module layout, reducing the need for complex on-site processing and improving installation efficiency.
Hook Installation: A common method where special hooks secure the bracket in gaps or edges of the tiles. The hook's shape and size match the tile type to ensure a snug fit. Installation involves placing the hook on the tile and fastening the bracket to the hook using bolts or other connectors. This is often used for sloped tile roofs in distributed photovoltaic systems.
Clamp Installation: For tiles with relatively flat surfaces, clamps can secure the brackets. Clamps, usually consisting of two or more parts, hold the brackets tightly onto the tiles by tightening bolts or fasteners. This method causes minimal damage to the tiles and ensures firm and reliable installation.
Base Installation: In some cases, a base is first installed on the tile roof, and the photovoltaic bracket is then secured to the base. The base can be attached to tiles or the roof structure using adhesives, screws, or other methods, providing a stable foundation for the brackets. This approach is suitable for larger or heavier photovoltaic modules.
Preservation of Roof Waterproofing: Unlike traditional photovoltaic bracket installation methods, tile roof brackets do not require drilling or significant removal of tiles. This minimizes the risk of water leakage caused by disrupting the roof's original waterproof structure.
Aesthetic Appeal: The brackets align closely with the tiles and integrate well with the roof's overall appearance, providing a clean and non-intrusive look. This is particularly beneficial for residential buildings and historical or aesthetically sensitive sites.
Easy and Efficient Installation: Lightweight materials and straightforward installation methods make the process quick and labor-saving, reducing construction time and labor costs. The modular design also facilitates maintenance and component replacement.
Wide Adaptability: Suitable for both new and existing buildings with various types of tile roofs, these brackets offer great versatility, making distributed photovoltaic power generation systems more accessible.
Limited Load Capacity: Due to the relatively low load-bearing capacity of tiles, the lightweight design of these brackets limits the weight and scale of the photovoltaic system they can support. Proper matching of the roof's load capacity and system size is essential to ensure stability and durability.
Dependence on Roof Slope and Shape: While adaptable to many tile types, these brackets are still constrained by roof slopes and complex shapes. Extremely steep or irregular roofs may require customized designs, increasing installation costs.
Relatively Weak Wind Resistance: Compared to ground-mounted or large-scale rooftop photovoltaic brackets, tile roof brackets may offer less wind resistance. Strong winds can impose significant loads on tiles, affecting the stability of the brackets. Additional reinforcement measures, such as increasing bracket density or strengthening connection points, may be necessary.
We commonly use hook-and-rail brackets, which effectively adapt to various roof types without damaging the original roof structure. If you’re interested, please contact us with details about your tile roof type for further assistance.
