There are mainly the following types of solar roof hooks:

‌Fixed hook‌: Usually installed at both ends of the solar panel bracket to fix the solar panel to ensure its stability and safety. The fixed hook is generally made of stainless steel, which has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and high strength.

‌Suspension hook‌: Commonly used to install solar panels on sloping roofs, it does not need to directly contact the roof to avoid damaging the waterproof layer of the roof. Suspension hooks are generally made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy, which can be adjusted and customized according to actual conditions.

‌Photovoltaic hook‌: Suitable for various roof structures, made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy, to ensure a service life of 25 years in normal environment.

Installation method and application scenarios

The installation method of solar roof hooks varies depending on the type:

‌Fixed hooks‌: First measure the size and position of the solar panel bracket, select the appropriate specifications and quantity of fixed hooks, and drill holes at both ends of the bracket to reserve installation holes. Put the fixed hooks into the holes and fix them to the bracket with stainless steel screws.

‌Hanging hooks‌: Determine the installation position and angle of the solar panel, select the appropriate specifications and quantity of hanging hooks, and reserve installation holes on the roof. Insert the hanging hooks into the holes and fix them to the bracket with bolts.

Applicable scenarios and advantages

Solar roof hooks are suitable for various types of roofs, including flat and curved tile roofs. Its advantages include:

‌Sturdy and durable‌: Made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy to ensure long-term use.

‌Strong versatility‌: Suitable for different roof structures and solar panel installation requirements.

‌Easy to install‌: Reasonable design, simple and quick installation process.

Choosing the right solar roof hook is crucial to ensuring the stability and safety of the solar system.
