New Solar Mounts Accelerate Installation And Precision
A supplier of PV mounting systems has launched a new collection of multi-purpose solar roof anchors, specifically designed to accommodate the range of narrow rafters across the UK roof spectrum.
Midlands based Mount Solar Ltd is behind the development of four new high quality stainless steel roof anchors which are set to transform the speed in which PV solar systems are installed.
The new mounting system has also been given the green light following a comprehensive technical study co-ordinated by the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC). The mounts have been introduced following independent tests by the Building Research Establish (BRE), in accordance with MCS012, the standard governing pitched roof installation kits for the solar market.
Dan Pearson, managing director of Coventry based Mount Solar said: "The new anchors have been specifically designed to provide an adaptable mounting system for all solar panel installations where rafters can be as narrow as 35mm. In addition to the standard roof anchor, there is an extended version with a longer arm and also height adjustable versions available to accommodate all varieties of roofs. Consequently the fitting is more precise and saves valuable installation time.
"The design and introduction of the mounting system follows a £20,000 investment in product development, tooling, industry consultation and testing over the last six months. The innovative stainless steel design has also been protected", he added.
In addition to the supply of roof anchors, Mount Solar provides a range of high quality aluminium rails, connectors and caps as well as module clamps and accessories. The comprehensive range of solar fixings and components are compatible with all makes and models of solar panels, and Mount Solar is pioneering new developments with a focus on continuous improvement to ensure correct and cost effective installation and standards.
