Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Module Mounting Systems

Choosing the right solar module mounting system depends on several key factors, including the installation location, roof or ground type, module layout, and structural loads.
When selecting a mounting system, the following should be considered:

• Installation location – whether the modules will be installed on the roof or on the ground.
• Roof type and pitch – different roofing materials require different fixing solutions.
• Soil conditions – for ground-mounted systems, soil strength, moisture, and stability should be evaluated.
• Module type and layout – the structure must be compatible with the selected solar modules and their orientation.
• Wind and snow loads – particularly important in Lithuania’s climate conditions.

The Metalo kaprizas team will help you choose the most suitable solution for your project, ensuring a safe, durable, and efficient mounting system.

Yes. Our solar module mounting systems are universal and compatible with most solar module manufacturers on the market. They are designed to fit standard module dimensions and fixing points.

If your project uses non-standard modules or special frame designs, we can:

• Adapt an existing mounting system
• Adapt an existing mounting system
• Manufacture custom components according to your module specifications

This ensures maximum compatibility and safe installation for virtually any solar power system.

Yes. Our solar module mounting systems are universal and compatible with most solar module manufacturers on the market. They are designed to fit standard module dimensions and fixing points.
If your project uses non-standard modules or special frame designs, we can:

• Heavy winter snow loads
• Strong wind gusts
• Temperature fluctuations from freezing winters to hot summers
• Corrosion risks caused by moisture and environmental exposure

Our structures are manufactured from hot-dip galvanized steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability. Structural load calculations are performed according to actual Lithuanian conditions, ensuring safe and reliable performance throughout the year.

Yes. Our ground-mounted solar mounting systems are designed for both soft and rocky ground conditions. Each structure is engineered to provide maximum stability and safety regardless of soil type.

Yes. We design custom solar module mounting structures whenever standard solutions are not suitable for a specific project.
Our engineering team evaluates the installation location, structural loads, module layout, and technical requirements to create a safe, stable, and fully customized solution.

Yes. We can manufacture mounting structures according to your drawings, technical specifications, or engineering documentation.
We work on projects of varying complexity and can either manufacture exactly according to your specifications or recommend design improvements where appropriate.

The time required to design and manufacture a custom solution depends on the complexity of the design, but the process typically takes up to a week.

Our solar module mounting structures are manufactured from premium-quality materials to ensure maximum durability and resistance to environmental conditions.
We primarily use:

• Hot-dip galvanized structural steel
• Aluminium structural components
• Stainless steel fasteners

Our structures are resistant to corrosion, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Hot-dip galvanizing provides an additional protective layer, ensuring reliable performance throughout the entire service life.

The price depends on the project type, number of modules, structure type, and selected mounting solution.

Yes. In many cases, standard mounting systems can be modified and adapted to meet specific project requirements, reducing both engineering time and project costs.

PT systems are designed for south-facing solar module installations and are selected according to the required tilt angle.

RV systems are designed for east-west module orientation, allowing more efficient use of roof space while providing a more balanced electricity generation profile throughout the day.

Yes. Our mounting solutions are suitable for a wide variety of roofing materials, including:
Roof tiles
Metal roofing
Standing seam metal roofs
Bitumen roofing
And many other roofing systems
Each roof type uses specifically selected fixing components to ensure safe and reliable installation.

No. Properly selected fixing solutions ensure complete roof waterproofing while minimizing any impact on the roof covering.
In some cases, such as standing seam metal roofs, installation can be completed without any drilling.

Our mounting structures have a service life of up to 25 years, maintaining their structural stability and resistance to environmental conditions throughout their lifetime.

Standard mounting systems are manufactured within a short lead time.
More complex or custom-engineered projects are completed according to an agreed production schedule, depending on the project’s scope and requirements.

Yes, each mounting frame and canopy is manufactured according to the specific requirements of the site, including the number and dimensions of inverters and the installation location.

It depends on the project. We manufacture structures for one, two, three or more inverters, according to the customer’s requirements.

Both options are available: bolted/riveted fastening to the roof covering or a ballasted (non-penetrating) structure. The fastening method is selected according to the roof type and structural requirements.

IP65 protection protects against dust and water jets, but it does not protect against overheating caused by direct sunlight. Therefore, manufacturers recommend additional protection when the inverter is installed outdoors in direct sunlight.

Yes, we manufacture free-standing structures designed for installing inverters next to ground-mounted solar power plants.

It is suitable in most cases. The system is designed according to the length and orientation of the property boundary. It is most efficient when the fence line is oriented towards the south.

The system is designed for bifacial solar panels. These panels can generate additional energy from reflected light reaching both sides.

The system is designed with wind loads in mind. The post spacing and fastening system comply with structural requirements.

The post spacing is designed for 1134 mm wide panels, one of the most commonly used bifacial panel formats.

Yes, solar panel sections can be integrated as part of an existing fence or installed as a separate fence line.
