🚫 Solar Myth: “I Need a Special Roof for Solar Installation”
Not true.
Most residential roofs are already designed to handle the load of a person walking on them and solar panels add very minimal weight. A typical solar setup adds only around 30 kg over 2.76 square metres.
The real difference comes from using the right materials.
✅ Always prefer aluminum alloy mounting structures and fittings wherever possible
✅ Aluminum is lightweight and corrosion-resistant
✅ It also matches the aluminum frame of the solar panel, preventing galvanic corrosion
✅ This means better durability and fewer replacement issues over the next 25 to 30 years
While aluminum fittings may cost slightly more initially, they help ensure your rooftop solar system stays strong, safe, and maintenance-friendly for decades.
The right engineering matters more than having a “special roof.” ☀️
