Tilt-up mounting for solar panels on flat roofs
On a flat roof, you usually set up solar panels on a tilt-up frame at a tilt angle. The collection offers two solutions: an adjustable frame and the ValkBox 3 XL flat roof mounting set, both for homeowners, businesses and DIY installers.
Fastening is central. On many flat roofs the work is done without penetrating the roof membrane, which requires weights or ballast; the load-bearing capacity of the roof must therefore be clarified in advance. The tilt angle, wind load and the distance between the panel rows are also important, so that they do not shade each other.
In our range you will find the Solarion frame with adjustment from 15 to 30 degrees as well as the ValkBox 3 XL mounting set from Van der Valk Solar Systems.
On flat roofs in particular, the question of waterproofing is worthwhile. Roof membranes or bitumen sheets should be protected by support mats or protective layers when weights rest on them. A lightning protection or earthing concept may also be necessary, which a specialist company will assess.

Frequently asked questions
Does the roof have to be drilled through?
That depends on the system. Depending on the design, tilt-up frames can work with ballast or with fastenings to the substructure. The product page describes the mounting method. It is better to have any penetration of the roof membrane sealed.
Which angle is suitable?
The tilt angle influences the yield and the wind loads. The adjustable frame allows 15 to 30 degrees. Which value makes sense for you depends on location and orientation.
How much load can my roof bear?
That cannot be stated across the board. Roof construction, age and structural engineering are decisive. Have the permissible additional load confirmed by an expert or structural engineer before installation.
