Solar Panel Mounting Kit: Nexus Complete Range

A solar panel mounting kit must meet the characteristics of the roof and the system configuration, ensuring a suitable connection between the modules and the installation surface. Flat roofs, pitched roofs, sandwich panels, corrugated sheet metal and ground-mounted installations require different solutions, designed according to the specific installation conditions.

Nexus designs and manufactures in Italy plastic structures, brackets and ballast systems for mounting solar panels, offering patented and certified systems as an alternative to traditional steel or concrete structures. The range includes solutions for different types of installation, as well as a series of components and accessories to complete the mounting systems.

Solar panel mounting kits: why choose a dedicated system

Choosing a solar panel mounting kit cannot be separated from the type of roof on which the system will be installed. The geometry of the roof, the materials present and the installation method all influence the configuration of the supports and the components required for mounting.

A system intended for an industrial corrugated sheet metal roof, for example, has different requirements from a structure designed for flat roofs or traditional roofs with clay and concrete tiles. Ground-mounted photovoltaic systems also require specific structures designed for this different type of installation.

For this reason, Nexus has developed a comprehensive range of photovoltaic mounting systems, organised into solutions dedicated to the main types of roof. The range includes brackets, profiles, plates, tilt supports and ballast systems, as well as complementary components that make it possible to configure the system according to the requirements of the installation.

A distinctive feature is the use of plastic in the production of structures and supports. This design approach makes it possible to develop components that are lighter than traditional steel or concrete structures, with the aim of simplifying handling and reducing the costs of the mounting system.

Plastic photovoltaic structures: the alternative to steel and concrete

Nexus designs and manufactures plastic structures and components in Italy for mounting photovoltaic systems. The use of this material represents an alternative to traditional metal or concrete solutions, with particular attention to weight reduction and component handling during installation.

The range includes patented and certified systems developed to meet different application requirements. Plastic structures are designed for use in various configurations, from panel supports for industrial roofs to ballasted solutions for flat roofs.

Choosing a lightweight system can also affect the organisation of on-site operations, especially when numerous components need to be handled or when working on roofs with specific characteristics. (An example can be found in this case history) Alongside the structural components, the correct combination of supports, profiles and mounting accessories remains essential. Direct production in Italy enables Nexus to develop a range dedicated to the photovoltaic sector, with products designed for different applications and organised into specific product families. There is no single universal kit: the configuration must be selected according to the type of system and the surface on which the modules are installed.

Photovoltaic mounting systems for every type of roof

One of the key aspects of the Nexus range is the possibility of identifying specific solutions for different types of installation. The range is divided into several product families, each dedicated to a particular configuration.

  • Sandwich panels and corrugated sheet metal. For industrial roofs and sheet metal surfaces, Nexus offers plastic brackets Models A, B, C, D, E and F, made of nylon reinforced with 30% glass fibre. The range also includes the reduced version of Model E with V0 slider and rail. The system can be completed with end and intermediate plates, available in both plastic and stainless steel, as well as plastic profiles and related accessories. Discover the solutions for sandwich panels and sheet metal.
  • Roofs with clay and concrete tiles. For traditional residential roofs, Nexus offers the stainless steel Model G Bracket, designed for mounting solar panels on roofs with clay or concrete tiles and recommended in combination with the Nexus plastic extruded profile. The range also includes the threaded stud, a component dedicated to the applications specified in its product datasheet. Explore the solutions for roofs with clay and concrete tiles.
  • Flat roofs. For systems installed on flat surfaces, Nexus offers plastic tilt supports and ballast systems. Available products include the flat-roof tilt support, Landblock ballast and plastic ballast for flat roofs. These solutions make it possible to configure systems specifically for this type of roof, assessing the components required according to the installation. Discover the solutions for flat-roof installations.
  • Ground-mounted photovoltaic systems. The Nexus range also includes a product line dedicated to ground-mounted installations, distinct from the systems designed for roofs. This is a further family of solutions that expands the possible applications of the company's mounting systems. Explore the solutions for ground-mounted systems.

Accessories for solar panel mounting kits: plates, profiles and hardware

A solar panel mounting system consists of several elements that must work together. In addition to the main structures and brackets, the choice of complementary components helps define the mounting configuration and compatibility between the different elements.

Nexus offers a dedicated section for mounting system accessories, including plastic components and metal hardware. Available products include end and intermediate plates, plastic profiles, plastic photovoltaic accessories, metal hardware and profile clamps.

The range includes, for example, plastic or stainless steel end and intermediate plates, as well as extruded plastic profiles and connection components. Specific accessories are also available to complete the different mounting configurations.

For installers, designers and industry professionals, being able to consult a range of dedicated components makes it possible to assess different configuration options and identify the products best suited to the project requirements. Contact us!
