Carrugated sheet metal and seamed metal plate

Photovoltaic fixing on corrugated sheet metal, seamed and domes: effective solutions for a safe installation
TEKNOMEGA solutions for fixing on sheet metal roofs – corrugated, seamed or domes – are designed to guarantee quick and safe installation. Our systems adapt perfectly to the geometry of the roof, avoiding holes where not necessary and maintaining the waterproofing of the roof. Reliability, versatility and ease of assembly make these solutions the ideal choice for photovoltaic systems on industrial, agricultural and civil structures.

TEKNOMEGA offers the possibility of creating custom brackets, specific for corrugated sheet metal roofing and domes, ensuring maximum customization based on the needs of the project. In addition, a practical pre-assembled kit is available for fixing the panels, which simplifies and speeds up installation on site.

Thanks to the quality and resistance of the materials, such as aluminium, stainless steel and MAGNELIS®, TEKNOMEGA fastening systems guarantee stability, optimising the performance and reliability of the entire system.

Our Company pays attention to every request and is committed to satisfying it in the best possible way. TEKNOMEGA offers a wide range of standard accessories for fixing on these types of roofs, including clamps and universal pre-assembled kits and also offers the possibility of creating custom-designed brackets, entirely made to measure.

In addition, the use of rubber insulation provides effective protection to the support surface of the photovoltaic system and prevents water infiltration, increasing waterproofing. In addition to protecting the roof, in some cases it increases the friction coefficient between the components, improving the stability of the fastening system.

Sheet metal roof? What is it and what are its advantages in a photovoltaic system?
Corrugated sheet metal is a type of metal panel characterised by a series of corrugations, called “greeks”, along its entire length, which guarantee numerous advantages including:

• Mechanical resistance: The corrugations allow the roof to support heavy weights without deforming easily. The sheet metal provides great resistance to mechanical stress, making it suitable for walkable roofs.
• Waterproof and versatile: Highly resistant to atmospheric agents, its corrugated structure allows for effective drainage of rainwater, avoiding infiltrations. Furthermore, the structure is efficiently preserved despite the lowering of temperatures. Its characteristics make corrugated sheet metal an increasingly sought-after material for installations in the civil and industrial sectors.
• DurabilityThe corrugated sheet is made of galvanized steel or aluminum, which guarantee resistance and durability over time.
• Speed: It is extremely light and easy to assemble. Therefore, the corrugated sheet metal roof can be installed quickly, thus reducing construction times and costs.

Photovoltaic fixing on corrugated sheet metal: Ideal solutions
The installation of photovoltaic systems on corrugated sheet metal, seamed or domes requires a specific fastening system, designed to ensure that the solar panels are securely fixed without compromising their integrity. The most commonly used solutions are:

• Fixing system with standard clamps o universal pre-assembled kit
  TEKNOMEGA offers standard solutions for fixing on corrugated and seamed sheets and sandwich panels.

• Systems of fixing with saddle brackets
  Le brackets saddle are effective solutions for fixing on corrugated sheet metal. These allow for quick and safe installation given their excellent ability to adapt to the wavy shape of the "greeks".
  TEKNOMEGA offers the possibility of producing brackets according to customer requirements, adaptable to different types of sheet metal.

• Direct fixing of the profile with rivets, self-tapping and self-drilling screws

Installation using rivets or self-tapping/self-drilling screws remains one of the most common solutions as it ensures quick and secure fixing. This technique involves the use of special screws that penetrate directly into the sheet metal, avoiding the need to drill or further damage the roof surface. The screws are equipped with EPDM gaskets to ensure watertightness.
