Technical FAQs 3

Can you put solar panels on a metal roof?

The construction of metal roofing makes it easier to attach solar panels than on an asphalt roof. “A metal roof's main benefit is that they allow solar panels to be attached to the standing seam and do not require the installer to make penetrations into the roof,” says Thacker.

How do you install solar panels on a metal roof?

Attach solar panels and rails directly to standing seam metal roofs without drilling. The SnapNrack line of roof solar mounting systems is designed to reduce total installation costs.

Can thin film solar be installed on a metal roof?

Thin film solar can only be installed on certain types of roofs, and standing seam metal roofs are an ideal surface. While PV panels offer higher efficiency per square foot, thin film solar panels have a lower profile and are easier to install.
