    Solar Panel Roof Fixings - Standard or Overroof / Rails?

    As a company we would not fit to Atcosts structures, they are not structuraly suitable, Fibre cement sheets containing asbestos can be suitable but must be drilled by a registered asbestos company not the solar installer.Remember the roof needs to be of a adequate quality to last 20 years.

    Problem fitting an export meter on 50Kw Solar Panels.
