Pitched Roof – Mounting Systems for Solar Installations
Pitched roofs are the most common application for PV systems in both residential and commercial settings. This category covers mounting systems from K2 Systems and SL Rack — two of Europe's leading manufacturers for pitched roof substructures — suitable for virtually all common roof covering types.
K2 Systems offers a comprehensive pitched roof portfolio: the SolidRail and SingleRail System are suitable for virtually all roof coverings — from plain and beaver tail tiles to slate and bitumen shingles through to trapezoidal sheet and standing seam. The BasicRail System stands out for its fast installation in just four steps and floating mounting for controlled thermal expansion. The MultiRail combines roof attachment and mounting rail in a single component, available as a short rail or in flexible lengths. The MiniRail MK2 is also designed as a short rail system with universal module alignment and optimised logistics. The InsertionRail System delivers a clean, closed surface appearance with additional stiffening via the insertion profile.
SL Rack offers a complete pitched roof range of rails, roof hooks, and clamps — with a consistent system logic and the advantage that only a single tool (Torx 40) is needed throughout. The cross-system Rail40 and the more statically capable Rail60 are available as versatile rail profiles — the latter particularly suited for larger span widths or more demanding load requirements.
