PV Solar Panel Mounting Brackets
A weather-proof solution for mounting PV solar panels on an aluminum shingle roofing panel.
We manufacture a wind-resistant, durable steel bracket to bridge the gap in a metal roofing installation between PV solar mounts and aluminum shingle panels.
A licensed engineers’ report shows that the brackets meet or exceed the requirements for the weight of the PV (solar collection) panels and the conditions of severe wind uplift laid out in the international building code.
The brackets are designed for 180 mph equivalent wind speeds. For the uplift design, there is no (or very negligible) uplift of the bracket and fasteners themselves. Each bracket has an allowable uplift capacity of 2,161 lbs.
Since the brackets and the screw fasteners are fabricated from austenitic stainless steel (304 series stainless), they will last indefinitely. And since they are installed so that they will not be in direct contact with the aluminum roofing panels, they will not contribute to the deterioration of the panels.
A metal solution for professional roofing contractors and PV solar panel providers.
- No leaks. With no penetration of the aluminum roofing panel or the roof deck, there’s no opportunity for leaks.
- Bracket installation is completed at the time of roof installation, without impacting the manufacturer’s product warranty.
- PV solar panel installers love us; we make their jobs easier.
- PV panels typically carry a 25-year warranty. A quality aluminum roofing shingle panel will outlast the panels, and be ready for the next set…without re-roofing.

Buying a New Roof? Make it solar-ready.
Not quite ready for solar panel installation but need a new roof? Get ready with your new roof installation. Here’s some information to help you make a roofing decision.
Mounting solar panels on an asphalt shingle roof is never a great idea.
- There’s always a danger of leaks, as the panels must be secured to the roof deck to ensure stability. And wherever there’s a penetration a leak can occur.
- Quality PV solar panels outlast asphalt roofs. So, when it’s time to replace the roof, the panels must be pulled and re-mounted.
Installing a quality aluminum shingle panel roof is always a great idea.
- Our metal roofing systems are leak-free, and they stay that way. When brackets are installed along with the roof, no penetrations of the roof are needed to secure PV solar panels.
- PV panels typically carry a 25-year warranty. A quality aluminum roofing shingle panel will outlast the panels, and be ready for the next set…without re-roofing.
