Aluminium profiles for PV mounting systems
This category covers 6060 aluminium profiles for building photovoltaic sub-structures. It includes mounting rails, connectors for extending them and trapezoidal roof brackets with EPDM seals. The range is for installers and builders who need load-bearing rails for panel clamps, roof hooks and adapters on pitched, flat and trapezoidal sheet roofs.
What you will find in this category
- Mounting profiles - 6060 aluminium rails, mostly 40x40 mm, from 10 cm to 665 cm, for hex or hammer head bolts.
- Profile connectors - 25×45×25 mm channel connectors in 100, 120 and 200 mm for extending rails.
- Trapezoidal roof brackets and bridges - H-30 to H-100 types with EPDM gasket for trapezoidal sheet metal roofs.
How to choose
- Cross-section: 40x40 mm is the most common. 80x40 mm and 45x40 mm profiles are also available.
- Bolt system: choose the slot for M10 DIN 933 hex bolts or for 28/15 M10 hammer head bolts.
- Finish: natural aluminium or black anodised, both in 6060 alloy.
- Length: select from short 10 cm sections up to 665 cm rails. Join runs with connectors where needed.
- Roof type: on trapezoidal sheet, pick the bracket height (H-30 to H-100) and length to suit the roof.
Typical applications
The 40x40 mm rails form the load-bearing structure of photovoltaic installations on pitched roofs. Panels are secured with middle and end clamps in the upper channel. The lower channel takes adapters, roof hooks or triangular brackets. Connectors extend rails, for example in flat-roof mounting systems. EPDM-sealed brackets carry modules on trapezoidal sheet metal roofs.
Frequently asked questions
How are panels fixed to the profile?
Middle and end clamps are fixed in the upper channel. The lower channel is used to mount the profile on adapters, roof hooks or triangular brackets.
Can I extend a mounting profile?
Yes, with connectors. They are 6060 aluminium with a 25×45×25 mm channel, 2.5 mm wall and Ø10.5 mm holes. Lengths are 100, 120 and 200 mm.
Which bolts fit the profiles?
Depending on the version, M10 DIN 933 hex bolts with flange nuts or 28/15 M10 hammer head bolts. Check the bolt type in the product name.
