The mounting experts have another great product for installers!

Elevating rooftop solar panels sufficiently is a crucial aspect of any PV project. However, elevation is an especially important consideration when working on properties that are often subject to extremely warm weather, as many are in South Africa, because hot conditions can drastically reduce output efficiencies.

In fact, Canadian Solar recommends an 80mm gap between its solar panels and the rooftop for optimum performance.

So, how do you raise the distance between roof surfaces and solar modules? We recommend the Renusol MetaSole+ High Top landscape roof anchor , designed for trapezoidal and corrugated sheet metal roofs.

This component, which belongs to Renusol’s dedicated mounting system for metal rooftops, helps you elevate panels on metal roof surfaces, which are known to be particularly susceptible to overheating. That is because the anchor provides a larger space for air flow to flow and helps cool down the products — preserving their efficiency.

The roof anchor has a 100mm clearance, more than enough to achieve Canadian Solar’s ideal panel-to-roof distance, and helps reduce project costs and streamline onsite activity, thanks to the fact that it can be used with short, non-continuous rails and pilot drilling is not required.

Pair the Renusol roof anchor with your next Canadian Solar panel installation and witness the results for yourself!
