How Tile Roof Solar Mounting Systems Keep Your Panels Secure and Efficient

Solar energy systems are a fantastic way for New Zealanders to invest in green energy. Solar power is a clean, renewable resource, and having a solar power system installed now can save you money in the long run while reducing your carbon footprint. 

What Are Tile Roof Solar Mounting Systems?

Mounting systems include hardware that attaches to your roof, and then solar panels will be mounted onto the hardware. Solar mounts, rails, clamps and racking hardware are securely installed onto tile roofs, keeping your panels in place to ensure optimal stability, orientation and durability. 

With proper installation and maintenance, well-mounted panels can last for decades.

Why Stable, High-Quality Tile Rool Solar Mounting Systems Are Vital For NZ Homes

To optimise your solar power system, every component of it needs to work in tandem. Your solar panels collect energy, your roof mounting system keeps your panels in place, your solar batteries store excess energy. If one part fails, then you could compromise the efficiency of the rest of the system. 

Your roof mounting system is vital because:

They Keep Your Solar Panels Safe. Properly installed mounting hardware will keep your solar panels stable and right where they need to be. This prevents falls and damage, ensuring your panels are always on your roof, ready to gather energy. 

They Keep Your Property Safe. Falling solar panels and mounting hardware can damage your property and pose a threat to people around your roof. Make sure your mounting system is professionally installed and that your solar panels are correctly attached to them to prevent falling objects. 

They Prevent Damage To Your Roof. Incorrectly attached mounting hardware can actually damage your roof itself, potentially causing roof leaks, structural damage and other unfortunate side effects. Always work with experienced, qualified solar energy system technicians who use high-quality products. Ask them how you can care for your solar panels and tile roof solar mounting system without damaging your roof. 

If you do notice any suspicious signs of roof issues, like leaks, sagging or visible damage, you should speak to your solar panel technician to see what you should do next. 

They Protect Your Investment. Solar energy systems are an investment. They make up for their initial costs by saving you money every month through reduced energy bills and by adding property value and appeal to your house. Mounting systems help to protect your investment by keeping your solar panels safely on your roof, so you won’t have to stress about consistent repair and replacement costs. 

They Make Maintenance Easier. You need to maintain your solar power system if you want to optimise efficiency and maximise its lifespan. Stable mounting hardware makes it much easier to maintain your solar panels without hassle. Mounting systems allow individual solar panels to be removed to maintain or replace them without having to take down the entire system.

We recommend cleaning your panels at least once a year to keep them in premium condition. Wipe away dust, dirt, debris and other unwanted messes to maximise how much sunlight is absorbed into your panels. Please avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive cleaning tools that could scratch your solar panels. Most of the time, you only need a soft cloth and water to clean the surface of your panels. 

You can further improve your system’s efficiency by trimming any branches that are hanging over your solar panels. 

They Keep Your Panels Positioned Correctly. It’s not enough for your panels to be on your roof - they need to be oriented in the right direction. The efficiency of your panels depends on their orientation and tilt. They need to be positioned to catch as much sunlight as possible. This way, they can provide you with plenty of energy every day.

How should your panels be positioned? How much sun your home receives will depend on your home’s location, the season and the time of day. Your solar panels should face the direction that gets the most sun all year round. Your solar energy technicians will assess your roof to determine the best place for your solar panels.

Roof mounting hardware plays a crucial role in solar panel orientation because it keeps your solar panels in place, stopping them from shifting due to the weather.
