Solar Mounting Systems
Pitched Rooftop
Long rail, standing seam, and tile roof mounting solutions for pitched rooftop solar installations across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the GCC.
About Pitched Rooftop Systems
SolarShade pitched rooftop systems cover the full range of roof types found across the region — from corrugated metal sheets using long-rail or mini-rail profiles, to standing seam roofs with non-penetrating clamp attachments, to clay and concrete tile roofs with hook-based anchoring. Six system types are available, each engineered for a specific roof profile and installation requirement.
Each system is engineered to minimise roof penetrations and maintain the waterproofing integrity of the existing roof. All aluminium extrusions are AA6063-T6 and all steel fasteners are stainless steel grade A2 or A4, ensuring long-term corrosion resistance in coastal and desert environments.
SolarShade pitched rooftop systems have been installed on industrial warehouses, commercial buildings, and residential developments across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. The Long Rail system is the most widely deployed, suited to corrugated metal roofs common across GCC industrial facilities.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Which system is suitable for a corrugated metal roof?
- The Long Rail, Long Rail+, or Mini Rail systems are suitable for corrugated metal roofs, depending on purlin spacing and module configuration. The Long Rail is the most widely used for industrial and commercial corrugated metal roofs across the GCC.
- Is roof penetration required for standing seam roofs?
- No. The Standing Seam and Standing Seam+ systems use non-penetrating clamp attachments that grip the standing seam profile directly, preserving the waterproofing integrity of the roof membrane.
- What aluminium alloy is used for the rail profiles?
- All aluminium rail profiles and extrusions are AA6063-T6, providing a combination of structural strength, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with standard PV module clamp systems.
