The Best Solar Roofing Anchors! (For a shingled roof)

This is the best Solar mounting system for a shingled roof that we have found so far.

These roof anchors can be set up at least twice as fast as traditional roof mounting.

These mounts also save money.

Maybe, but it looks a little dicey to me... If it works long term (20 years) then it is definitely an improvement.

Pro tip if you miss a rafter, angle your drill both ways to find the rafter. And adjust accordingly.

Thanks for showing us the right anchors. Will you show a video about installing the solar panels?

I do Trial Analysis for a living and there is no way to really know if you’re going to get roof leaking with no flashing. For That matter even with flashing / caulking and conscientious installers…Its a statistical distribution. “They’ve tested that”…are famous last words. The unfortunate ones in the tail of the distribution will not be happy. I want solar…but I am afraid of roof mount.

Nice, nothing I hate worse than breaking a shingle thats been stuck together for a few years.

Thanks for sharing. I live in between Raleigh and Greensboro and I'm looking at using this same type of Bolt to put up four panels on my roof.

Putting holes in shingles makes me really nervous, thanks for some reassurance.

[SaenzFonsi]

What I worry about is once the solar panel is installed, how much wind force is this holder withstanding before it rips out? Is in, I am sure it works for normal conditions but what is it maximum holding strength??

If you watch Quickbolt's install video they actually take the bolt down further until that rim is like halfway down into the disc. Of course you don't want to go too far with it, but I would probably take it a bit farther than shown in this video. If you watch their video they bolt it down until it's fully dimpled, then they go just a bit further to sink the bolt in.

Don't know much about these installations, but i think it's better to install in the middle of a single shingle... Not across two.

[wsanders]

When that disc dimples in when you drive the screw home, can water collecting in the dimple be an issue? What with the washer and goop sealing the hole, and the roof being at an angle, I'd guess the water would run off or evaporate first. But if were DIYing I'd do a bead around the bolt just to make sure.

[NTheSnake]

I'm just wondering how it is that that plastic disc seals when it is bridging two different levels of the architectural shingle, like I SEE where there's a tiny gap. Water's gotta be able to get under that right!? Might be worth a follow up video after some time to see if they do leak in the real world.

Very cool, thanks for doing all the homework. Definitely takes out all the guests were for us movies

[bobrussell]

I would feel better about them if the sealant spooged out as it was snugged down. Cool product.

[egbertst]

why can’t we use an electric wall-stud finder on the roof for locating rafter joists?

[nathaniel]

What's the easiest way to locate the trusses on the roof?

[stevenspencer]

Thank you very much for sharing that, and God bless y’all!

[Everythinghometv]

I know they keep coming out with new systems that are supposed to be faster and easier to install but nothing that I've used is more bullet proof when it comes to leaks as the flashing type that actually goes under the shingle.

[JasonWho]

Are you using strut channel or a racking system with those anchors?

Warning: Replace your shingle roof before you install solar panels, neighbors had solar panels installed two years ago, shingle roof had to be replaced this year, it cost them $11, 500.00 to have the solar panels removed and installed again....
