PV modules can be mounted in several different ways. There are several standard mounting systems, and when necessary SEI can modify these or even design a bespoke system to suit your project. As with all of our products, SEI can supply equipment from a range of manufacturers, so the system chosen will always be the most appropriate.

A full discussion of the different types of mounting system is on our technology page. The datasheets here are indicative of the options available; please contact one of our engineers to discuss your project's requirements.

Retro-Fit

The simplest, most cost-effective and most common method of mounting is to mount modules on rails fixed above an existing roof. This means there is no need to replace or remove the roof. The rail systems used in retro-fit mounts are often the basis of more bespoke designs.

Roof-Integrated

Integrating the modules into the roof gives a stylish finish to a building. This can be achieved by mounting the modules into the roof using a modified section of the roof fixing. For tiled roofs, PV tiles can be used in place of standard tiles, while in atria glass / glass laminates can be used to create a solar canopy.

Bespoke and other systems

Subject to your requirements, SEI can design, install and maintain other types of PV systems, including using flexible amorphous silicon, ground-mounted arrays, modular electrical designs, bespoke mounts, flat roofs and off-grid systems.
