Solar panel fastening for steel roofing

Solar panel fastening for steel roofing: an essential solution for the efficient installation of solar panels on metal roofs, whether for industrial, agricultural or residential buildings.

Steel roofing, renowned for its strength and exceptional durability, offers a solar panel fastening system for installing photovoltaic panels... provided you choose a reliable and suitable fastening system.

At Planet Soar Shop, we've selected a complete range of fixations for solar panels and accessories for solar panels on steel panels. Our solutions combine safety, durability and performance to guarantee optimum energy production over the long term.

All our products comply with French and European standards, to ensure that your installation is as efficient as it is legal.

Why choose fastening for solar panels on steel roofs

Installing a solar panel on a steel deck offers a number of advantages: excellent weather resistance, light weight, quick installation and a remarkable lifespan.

This type of roof is particularly popular for sheds, warehouses and farm buildings, but also for some contemporary houses.

But fixing solar panels to a metal roof is not something you can improvise. You need a specific fastening system capable of preserving the integrity of the structure and guaranteeing a perfect seal.

At Planet Soar Shop, we offer complete solutions: fixing brackets, self-drilling screws with seals, aluminium rails and all the necessary mounting accessories.

Special features of steel roofing

Steel roofing comes in the form of profiled, ribbed or corrugated sheet metal, usually galvanised and protected by an anti-corrosion coating.

Appreciated for its mechanical strength and ability to withstand heavy loads, it is an ideal support for installing solar panels.

There are a number of different profiles for fastening solar panels to steel panels: trapezoidal, ribbed or corrugated, and each requires an appropriate fastening system.

At Planet Soar Shop, our kits are specially designed to fit the shape and height of the ribs, ensuring optimum resistance to wind and snow, while maintaining perfect watertightness.

The components of a solar panel fastening system for steel roofing

Clamps and mounting brackets

Flanges, also known as clamps, are used to hold the rails firmly in place on the roof. They are usually made of aluminium or stainless steel and fitted with an EPDM gasket to ensure a perfect seal.

Mounting rails

Anodised aluminium rails are used to align and hold photovoltaic panels securely and precisely. Their light weight and excellent resistance to corrosion make them an ideal solution for steel roofs.

Self-drilling screws with gaskets

They pass through the steel pan at the rib, securing the flanges or rails and preventing any water infiltration

Intermediate and end clamps

Fix the panels to the rails, ensuring stability and safety against the elements

Advantages of fastening solar panels to steel decking

Installation is quick, with fewer steps than on other types of roof. The structure is extremely strong, ensuring perfect resistance to wind and snow. Specific joints ensure watertightness, while compatibility is universal with the majority of panels available on the market. Finally, durability is guaranteed by the use of stainless, UV-resistant materials.

Compatibility with a range of solar panel fastening profiles

Our fastening systems adapt perfectly to the main steel pan profiles, for an installation that's both solid and durable. For trapezoidal profiles, specially designed clamps are used to fasten directly to the ribs. Roofs with corrugated profiles benefit from adapters designed to fit perfectly around the curvature of the corrugations. As for ribbed profiles, we use technical solutions that prevent any deformation during clamping, guaranteeing the longevity and performance of your solar installation.

Tips for choosing the right fastene

To choose the most suitable steel panel fastener, start by identifying the exact profile of your steel panel: trapezoidal, corrugated or ribbed. Then check the load-bearing capacity of your roof to ensure the installation is safe. Choose fasteners with quality seals to protect your roof for the long term, and opt for rustproof materials to ensure the longest possible life for your system.
