Solar module mounting system without penetrating roof
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11949366B2) discloses a solar module mounting system designed to be secured to a roof without penetrating it. The system includes an adhesion sheet with inserts for attachment devices and a clamp that secures the solar modules without penetrating the roof. The adhesion sheet is positioned directly adjacent to the solar modules and has dimensions at least 50% of the associated dimension of the modules, ensuring a secure and stable mounting solution.
The adhesion sheet in the solar module mounting system can be made of a molded sheet or a polymer sheet, providing flexibility and durability. The clamp in the system applies force perpendicular to the glass plane of the solar modules, ensuring a secure attachment. Additionally, the adhesion sheet covers at least 90% of the area of the solar modules, further enhancing the stability of the mounting system. With the inclusion of standoffs between the structure and the solar modules, the system offers a comprehensive solution for secure and non-penetrative solar panel installation.
