Technical FAQs 4

Can solar panels be installed on a tiled roof?

Be the first to leave a review. Solar panels can be installed on many roof types and the most common type in Australia are tiled roofs. The tiles are removed and stainless steel brackets are screwed to the rafters and the tiles then re-installed in the former position.

How do I install solar panels on a lightweight tile roof?

The best way to install solar panels on a lightweight tile roof is through a method called inset solar installation, also known as a “comp-out” installation. This technique removes the section of tile where the solar panels will be installed and replaces it with composite shingles before mounting the solar array.

Can solar panels be installed on lightweight tiles?

If installers attempt to mount solar panels directly onto lightweight tiles, several issues can arise: Tile breakage: Walking on or drilling through these tiles can cause cracks or breaks, which may lead to roof leaks and structural damage.

Can solar panels damage a tile roof?

Future damage from vibrations: Even if tiles remain intact during installation, they can weaken over time. Wind moving between the solar panels and the racking system can create vibrations that cause tiles to crack down the road. Because of these risks, standard installation methods won’t work for tile roofs —especially lightweight ones.
