Roof Mounts Solar Panels


Eternal Renewables is proud to offer affordable and energy cost-saving solar panel roof mounts. Our expert solar consultants carefully factor structural and building code issues to provide the right solar panel roof mount solution to home and farms in Tamilnadu.

The ideal orientation a solar panel roof mount installation is facing south where optimum energy production will be achieved. If your roof faces east or west your overall energy production will typically be 10 to 25% lower compared to a south-facing.

On sloped roofs, the rack supporting the solar array is usually flush-mounted for aesthetic, cost and structural reasons. The annual energy production is also dependent on the tilt angle of the array (and roof).

Common Roof Types

Solar roof mounting can be complex without expertise and understanding about specific roof types. Eternal Renewables has installed solar systems on all types of metal and shingle roofs. The rack for both applications is similar and the main difference is the connection between the rack and the roof surface.

Shingle Roofs

If your shingle roof is newer and has many years of life left, it’s a good time to make it roof solar panels now. If your roof is older and near replacement, you should consider replacing the shingles first or do the solar and roof upgrade at the same time.

Metal Roof Solar Mounting

Metal roofs are common on homes, farm buildings and commercial buildings in many areas of the Tamilnadu.Mounting a solar array on these types of roofs is similar to a shingle roof with exception of the roof attachment mechanism.
