S:FLEX - PV Mounting Systems

S:FLEX mounting system with roof hooks for all types of tiled roofs

The advantages of S:FLEX tiled roof systems at a glance:

Suitable for all standard roofing types (roof tiles, plain tiles)
Laterally and height-adjustable roof hooks allow an absolutely flat module installation
Installation is possible from a rafter width of just 36 mm
We will gladly create the structural design for our customer's projects if required – the documentation we provide includes the structural analysis as well as the rail and attachment diagram

Components

Roof hooks
Our roof hooks combine maximum load capacity with low dead weight, allow lateral and height adjustment and are easy to install. By means of corrugation and an elongated hole design, the mounting rail is secured in a friction locked and positive-fit connection.

S:FLEX wood screws
Our specially developed S:FLEX wood screws allow installation with a minimised distance to edge from a rafter width of 36 mm.

Mounting rails
For end and centre attachment, S:FLEX systems rely on particularly lightweight, structurally optimised hollow chamber rails in various profiles and lengths that feature our proven one-click technology.

Rail connectors
To ensure structurally identical properties in the area of the rails and the connections.

End and mid clamps
S:FLEX module clamps have an extremely wide clamping area and are therefore suitable for all standard modules and frame heights of 30-50 mm. High torsion resistance and our latest, ultra-smooth one-click technology make installation a snap.

Versatile, safe, durable

The majority of roofs on German houses consist of bricks (roof tiles, pantiles, interlocking clay roof tiles, plain tiles, slate). The robust sloping-roof frame from S:FLEX represents the ideal solution for reliable anchoring of solar panels. It is stable and storm-proof, weatherproof and durable, yet in harmony with the architecture, not least thanks to details such as black anodised components and end caps for the rails.
