What are the most important components of a racking system?
Solar panel roof mounting system is built with 3 main components:
Each tool plays a key role in how the structure supports your panels, to ensure you get the most amount of solar power out of them.
Roof attachments
The roof attachments are the fasteners that will be drilled into your roof in order to secure the racking system in place.
The holes these drills create will be surrounded by ‘flashing’, which is a plastic or metal shield that is inserted between shingles to prevent water from getting into the hole. However, roof attachments differ for each roof type.
To dig a little deeper, take a look at more information on installing solar panels on clay tile roofs, metal roofs, and flat surface roofs.

Roof attachments are drilled into the roof and secured with flashing to protect against water.
Module clamps
The module clamps attach the drilled-in roof attachments to the solar panel mounting rails. There are a few different module clamp types for each angle and corner of the solar panel.

Module clamps come in a few different sizes and shapes to secure the roof attachments at every angle.
Mounting rails
After drilling into the roof, the roof attachments are then connected to mounting rails via solar panel roof clamps that will then support the solar panels.
Although there are railless racking options available, rails are most commonly used because they can be secured to most roof angles, and because many installers are trained using rail mounting systems.
