RibBracket I: Rail-Less Solar Mounting Made Simple
The RibBracket I is a cost-effective, high-strength mounting solution designed for attaching solar PV systems directly to metal roofs without the need for rails. Engineered for use with the PVKIT®, it provides a secure, low-profile attachment point that simplifies installation while maintaining durability and performance.
Key Benefits
- Rail-Less Installation – Designed to work seamlessly with the PVKIT® to eliminate the need for traditional racking systems, reducing material and installation costs.
- Flexible Placement – Installs directly onto roof ribs without requiring alignment to structural members, allowing for faster and more versatile layouts.
- High Wind Resistance – Angled bracket design converts wind uplift into shear force for enhanced holding strength in demanding conditions.
- Adjustable Alignment – Slotted top hole enables lateral adjustment, making it easier to align and square solar arrays during installation.
- Improved Airflow & Access – Provides 4” (100 mm) of clearance above the roof to support module cooling and simplify wire management.
- Integrated Wire Management – Built-in cable channel keeps wiring organized, protected, and out of sight.
Use Cases
Ideal for residential and light commercial solar installations on metal roofs, the RibBracket I is best suited for projects where a clean, low-profile, and cost-efficient rail-less mounting system is preferred. It is commonly used on ribbed metal roofing profiles to simplify installation and reduce system complexity.
