Engineered for Strength, Performance & African Conditions

The Valsa New Rib, Wide Deck, and Wide Span roof mounting structure is positioned across or along the rib, offering flexibility in panel layout. It can be installed flat, following the slope of the roof, or elevated with an additional tilt to significantly improve photovoltaic power harvesting.

This simple and versatile solution uses a penetrative method of fixing. All components are rigorously tested and approved by South Africa roof manufacturers, ensuring roof warranties and guarantees remain intact for PV solar installations on both existing and new roofs. The solution has been meticulously designed and manufactured to SABS standards, is in line with SANS regulations, and takes African building regulations into consideration. Our roof mounting structure solution is ideally suited for the challenging African weather conditions your installations will face. Custom-made solutions can also be designed and manufactured on request.
