VISIMPEX SOLAR - The Up-to-Date Fixation
What to Know About Solar Panel Structures?
Structures are the smallest cost items among the main components of solar systems, but they are essential system elements just like solar panels or inverters.
According to the material, the VISIMPEX SOLAR system - in accordance with the professional regulations of the solar energy market - is exclusively made of aluminum and stainless steel (A2) products.

1. Sloped Roof Fixations
1.1 Concrete and Tile Coverings
Corrugated and Straight Rooflines
These are perhaps the most commonly used roofing materials, allowing for varied and attractive roof designs.
They can be applied to medium and steeply pitched roofs.
Due to their modular nature, the roof hooks can be installed punctually with offset movement, without dismantling.
In addition to straight and corrugated rooflines, oversized products (XXL) have also found their place in the domestic market, making it possible to select the appropriate roof hook based on this knowledge.

1.2 Bituminous Shingle Coverings
Their various types provide a diverse roofing appearance. The bituminous cover elements made on a mesh carrier base mixed with various sized and shaped additives are easy to install, but it is difficult to measure the position of the main structure precisely.
The fastening elements must be attached to the main structure with roof hooks and lag screws!

1.3 Metal Roof Coverings
Corrugated Metal Sheets, Sandwich Panels, and Tile Sheets
These include various shaped corrugated metal sheets, tile sheets, and sandwich panels. They can be made of galvanized steel or aluminum.
Their range is quite extensive, and they are lightweight, weighing only 1/10 of traditional tiles, allowing for easier roof structure formation.
Attention! Sheet coverings are also frequently placed over existing deteriorated coverings, so standard solutions are not suitable for installation !!!
Depending on the substructure, the solution is: TR43, Tr310 profile system, lag screw solution, individually designed elements
Corrugated Sheets |
Sandwich Panel |
Pressed Sheet Coverings
In terms of solar panel installation, roofing without demolition is not feasible. During the survey, special attention must be paid because due to its profiling and surface formation, it is often difficult to distinguish it from tile coverings.
There is a manufacturer-specific roof hook associated with the system, which can only be installed during the installation of the covering.
If the covering is drilled or demolished, the factory warranty for the covering ceases!
With the involvement of a certified roofer, the warranty for the covering remains after the installation of the special roof hooks!
Tile Sheets |
Pressed Sheet |
Corrugated Sheet
Typically, copper-zinc sheet coverings in various colors, usually with 55-60 cm corrugation distances. They are installed in corrugated and pre-corrugated versions.
The roof supports are attached to the sheet covering without demolition, in a clamping connection method, and then aluminum profiles are attached to them.
The distributor of the structural frame makes recommendations for the design and compression of the supports.

1.4 Thatched Roof Coverings
Flat Thatch and Corrugated Thatch
Thatch made from naturally layered rock material, split to shape after proper preparation, is an aesthetically pleasing, very durable roof covering material. Only a specialist with sufficient experience in this area is able to provide a durable structure for such roof coverings.
Artificial thatch elements are relatively similar in appearance to natural thatch elements, but these are made from cementitious mixtures pressed or rolled from cementitious synthetic fibers. Instead of asbestos cement used in the past, modern, environmentally friendly fiber reinforcements are used for their production.
During installation, they may break, and it is very difficult to repair them properly!!!
If necessary, Solution: Ridge Screw System
Flat Thatch |
Corrugated Thatch |
Solar panels should only be installed on a flat roof with thorough preparation.
We distinguish between roof penetration and counterweight construction solutions. The main elements of the roof penetration solutions are attached to the building structure, with proper restoration of the waterproofing. Due to its smaller self-weight, it puts less strain on the building, but it carries a higher risk of leakage.
For counterweight solutions, the load-bearing capacity of the substructure must be taken into account with the involvement of an expert or a structural engineer. The distributor of the structural frame makes recommendations for the amount of counterweights, considering the position and inclination of the solar panels.
Incorrect installations can cause damage to the building structure and even endanger personal safety.
Flat Roof Fixations |
The most important characteristic of standalone constructions is that they are installed in free areas outside cultivation.
This method typically results in the creation of large solar parks producing several MW of electricity. Taking into account the environmental and weather conditions of the area.
Both ground-fixed (screwed to the ground) and counterweight solutions can be implemented.
Their installation typically requires high logistical and resource knowledge and capabilities.
