Description
What is a tin roof solar mounting system? A rail-based racking solution designed for corrugated metal (“tin”) roofs. Aluminum rails are laid horizontally across the roof corrugation, anchored with L-foot brackets, and solar panels are clamped onto the rails.
Why SUPER SOLAR tin roof racking?
Purpose-built for corrugated metal roofs
● — rails run across the ridges for a level mounting surface
Waterproof anchoring
● — L-feet include a rubber gasket to seal the fixing point
Complete kit
● — rails, splices, L-feet, mid clamps, and end clamps from one supplier
Lightweight aluminum
● — corrosion-resistant, easy to handle on the roof
Proven at scale
● — large commercial metal-roof installations in the field
4. Key Features & Benefits
4.1 Complete Component Kit
Component | Function |
A — Rail mount rail | Extruded aluminum rail with engineered cross-section; the base for all panel mounting |
B — Rail splice | Connects two rail sections for continuous runs on long roofs |
C — L foot | Anchors the rail to the roof — L-shaped bracket with waterproof rubber gasket, bolt, and wood screw |
D — Mid clamp | Holds the edges of two adjacent panels to the rail |
E — End clamp | Secures the outer edge of the first/last panel in a row |
4.2 Waterproof Roof Fixing
The L-foot includes a black rubber gasket between the bracket and the roof sheet. The wood screw fixes through the metal sheet while the gasket seals the hole — keeping the roof watertight without structural penetration.
4.3 Engineered Aluminum Rails
Rails are extruded aluminum with multi-chamber cross-sections (C-shape, H-shape, I-beam profiles) for high strength-to-weight ratio. Pre-formed channels accept clamps anywhere along the rail, so panels position freely.
4.4 Fast Installation
● Rails laid horizontally across the roof corrugation — a level surface for panels
● Screws and clamps only — no welding, no special tools
● Works with standard solar panel sizes and frames
4.5 Corrosion-Resistant & Lightweight
Aluminum construction means no rust and easy handling on the roof — a practical advantage over heavier steel systems on pitched metal roofs.
4.6 Proven on Large Projects
The same system is field-proven on large commercial metal-roof arrays (hundreds of panels per roof), as well as residential installations.

6. Installation Steps (How It Works)
Position rails
1. — aluminum rails laid horizontally across the roof ridges at your planned row spacing
Anchor with L-feet
2. — fix each rail to the roof with L-foot brackets; the rubber gasket seals the fixing point
Splice long runs
3. — connect rail sections with rail splices on long roofs
Place panels
4. — lay panels onto the rails
Clamp panels
5. — mid clamps between panels, end clamps on outer edges, tighten all bolts

9. FAQ (for listing Q&A section)
Q: What roof types does this system work on? A: Corrugated tin and metal roofs, including trapezoidal-profile sheets — the most common commercial and agricultural roof type.
Q: Does the fixing leak water? A: No. The L-foot includes a rubber gasket that seals the screw point, keeping the roof watertight.
Q: What is included in the kit? A: Aluminum rails, rail splices, L-foot brackets (with gaskets, bolts, and wood screws), mid clamps, and end clamps.
Q: Do I need welding or special tools? A: No. Everything is fixed with screws and clamps using standard tools.
Q: Can I use it on a long roof? A: Yes. Rail splices connect rail sections for continuous runs across the full roof length.
