How to Install Solar Panels using Nill Patent pending Waterproof Attachment Anchors/ Fasteners
As we adopt more sustainable energy sources and reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, renewable energy sources are a game-changer for our planet. With the emphasis shifting more rapidly towards clean and greener energy, countries are turning towards solar energy. Many governments and thought leaders have stressed the positives of solar energy and people around the world are adopting this means of energy.
However, certain maintenance practices are quite important for obtaining maximum output and efficiency from solar panels. The solar panels need timely attention to prevent damage from adverse weather and temperature and humidity changes that lead to corrosion. Proper mounting and fastening can help solar panels stay in good shape in the long run.
A good way of installing solar panels is using solar anchors that provide better support and stability. Let us take you through the steps involved in installing solar panels using solar anchors. Typical solar anchors use stainless steel flanges that offer optimum support to your panels.
A great example is the range of patent pending solar anchors (NB1A2, NB3S1, NB3S2, NB3,& NB23) from Nill Building solutions that offer segment-leading waterproofing protection. These fasteners are suitable for a multitude of surfaces like flat roofs, wood shingles, and asphalt.
●Take a typical “L” bracket with a slot for accommodating the solar track that holds the panels in place over the track. Fasten the L bracket to the anchor with a nut and a washer with the help of a torque wrench.
●Position the solar anchor to your preferred position on the roof. If you wish to attach a solar track for your panels, use additional L brackets at regular intervals for better support.
●After you decide on the position to mount your solar track, simply fasten the anchor to the roof with the help screws on the anchor flange with a thin layer of membrane underneath for waterproofing.
●Once the anchor is firmly attached to the roof, you can remove the L bracket and add another layer of membrane on top. Attaching the second membrane layer ensures greater waterproofing from both sides.
●Once the membrane completely sets over the anchor flange, reattach the L bracket to the anchor. Place a washer underneath the bracket and fasten it over the membrane to the anchor screw with a torque wrench.
●Place your solar panel track onto the bracket and place your panels over the track.
Following these steps can help you mount your solar panels on your roof without worrying about any chances of water damage and corrosion.
These steps are quite straightforward to implement. However, for better results, it is advisable to get in touch with experts that can help you mount your solar panels.
