Mounting system for solar water heating (5 panels, tiled roof)

Are you looking for a reliable, all-in-one solution for installing a solar water heating system without having to spend ages selecting individual components? We have put together a complete, tailor-made installation kit for fitting 5 photovoltaic panels (e.g. TRINA 455 Wp with a 30 mm frame) on pitched roofs with traditional tiled roofing.

The package includes not only a complete aluminium and stainless steel support structure, but also a pre-wired distribution board with full DC protection and combined surge protection (T1+T2), ensuring maximum safety for the entire system.

Why choose this installation kit? • All-in-one package: You’ll save time and money by avoiding the need to buy dozens of screws, profiles, hooks and fasteners separately.
• High durability & longevity: High-quality aluminium profiles and A2 stainless steel components guarantee a long service life even in harsh weather conditions.
• Adjustable roof hooks (VARIO): The dual adjustment option allows for easy levelling of uneven roofing surfaces and ensures a secure anchorage to the roof structure.
• Elegant appearance: The black anodised brackets complement modern solar panels with black frames (Full Black / Black Frame) perfectly.
• Safety first: The kit includes a pre-installed DC distribution box with top-class T1+T2 surge protection for 1 string, which reliably protects both the inverter and the entire household from power surges and the effects of a lightning strike.

1. Mounting the hooks: Space the VARIO 5.1 hooks evenly along the rafters beneath the roof tiles. Adjust the distance between the hooks to suit the rafter spacing and the specific snow/wind zone.
2. Aligning the profiles: Use the dual height adjustment on the VARIO hook to align the aluminium H-profiles perfectly horizontally.
3. Electrical installation: Position the DC distribution board near the water heater controller / inverter and ensure it is properly connected to the building’s main equipotential bonding (earthing) system.
