Mounting structures

Mounting structures for PV installations - the foundations of efficient photovoltaic systems

Mounting structures are a key element of every photovoltaic installation.   They are the foundation on which the entire system is based. At Onninen, we offer a wide range of high-quality mounting solutions. Our products guarantee the stability and durability of the PV installation for many years.

Many customers ask us about selecting the right structures. We always emphasize that the right choice depends on many factors. These include the type of roof, its slope and the location of the building. The power of the planned photovoltaic installation is also important.

Types of PV mounting structures available at Onninen

Our offer includes a variety of assembly systems. We adapt them to the individual needs of each project. Here are the main types of construction:

• Systems for pitched roofs
• Flat roof structures
• Freestanding (ground) systems
• Structures for mounting on facades

Our experience shows that the most frequently chosen systems are those for pitched roofs.   They provide optimal exposure of the panels to solar radiation. At the same time, they do not significantly interfere with the aesthetics of the building.

For flat roofs, we recommend lightweight ballast structures. They do not require interference with the roof covering. This solution works particularly well for commercial and industrial buildings.

Freestanding systems are an ideal solution for large photovoltaic farms. They allow for optimal positioning of the panels in relation to the sun. They also provide easy access for maintenance and service.

Key elements of mounting structures for PV installations

The complete assembly system consists of many elements. Each of them plays an important role in ensuring the stability and safety of the installation. Here are the most important components:

• Aluminum profiles
• Connectors and clamps
• Mounting adapters
• Anchoring elements
• Sealing accessories

Aluminum profiles constitute the skeleton of the entire structure.   Their selection depends on the loads that the installation will be subjected to. In our offer you will find various types of profiles. These include mounting channels and reinforced channels.

Connectors and clamps are used to attach photovoltaic panels to profiles. We offer both middle and end clamps. They provide a secure and durable connection of modules to the supporting structure.

Mounting adapters are elements that connect profiles to the roof surface. Their type is selected depending on the type of roof covering. These can be roof hooks, wood screws or special anchors.

In the case of flat roofs, ballast elements play a key role. They provide the appropriate load on the structure. This makes the system stable even in strong gusts of wind.

You can't forget about sealing accessories. Self-adhesive cellular rubber or rubber covers protect the roof from leaks. They also prevent the formation of thermal bridges.

Brands of PV mounting structures available at Onninen

In our wholesale store we offer products from renowned manufacturers. These include brands such as Baks, Neosys and Led Europe.   We especially recommend Baks mounting systems.   This is a Polish manufacturer with an established position on the market. Its products are characterized by high quality and durability.

Neosys is a brand specializing in innovative assembly solutions. Their systems are lightweight and easy to install. They work particularly well on flat roofs.

Led Europe offers comprehensive solutions for photovoltaic installations. Their offer includes both standard systems and structures dedicated to non-standard applications.

Our experience shows that customers appreciate the variety of options available. Thanks to our wide range of products, we can tailor a solution to any project. Regardless of its scale or specificity.

In everyday practice, we often come across questions about selecting the right elements. Our experienced advisors are always available to help in this regard. We analyze the individual needs of each client. On this basis, we recommend optimal solutions.

It is worth paying attention to the issue of certification and warranty.   All of the mounting structures we offer have the necessary certificates. They meet rigorous safety and quality standards. This is a guarantee of long-term, trouble-free operation of the photovoltaic system.

We recently completed a project for a large shopping center. It required the use of specialized structures on a flat roof. Thanks to Neosys systems, we managed to optimize the arrangement of panels. We achieved maximum efficiency while maintaining the aesthetics of the building.

In the case of home installations, we most often use Baks systems. Their versatility allows for installation on various types of roofs. This is particularly important in the case of older buildings with atypical construction.

We often come across the question about the impact of assembly structures on the durability of the roof. Our experience shows that properly selected and installed systems are completely safe. The key is to use appropriate sealing and anchoring elements.

At Onninen we place great emphasis on the comprehensiveness of our offer.   In addition to the assembly structures themselves, we also supply the necessary accessories. These include angle connectors, aluminum angles and inverter canopies. This allows our customers to obtain all the necessary elements in one place.

It is worth mentioning the growing trend of using mounting structures for other purposes. They are increasingly used, for example, for mounting air conditioning systems or satellite dishes. Our products also work perfectly in such unusual applications.

In the case of large commercial projects, we offer support at every stage of implementation. Our specialists help in selecting optimal solutions. We also provide technical support during and after installation.

Mounting structures for PV installations are not only mechanical elements.   This is the foundation of an effective and safe photovoltaic system. That is why it is so important that they are of the highest quality. At Onninen, we guarantee that all the products we offer meet these requirements.

We invite you to contact our advisors. They will help you choose the optimal mounting solutions for your photovoltaic project. Thanks to our experience and wide range of products, we are able to meet even the most demanding challenges.
