WE SELL SOLAR ATTACHMENTS TO SOLAR INSTALLERS
At NRP, we provide solar attachments engineered for strength, long-term performance, and roof system protection. Designed for compatibility with a wide range of racking solutions, our solar attachments deliver a secure, watertight connection that helps protect the roof assembly and supports reliable solar installations.
Trusted by solar installers, EPCs, and roofing contractors nationwide, NRP solar attachments are designed to integrate seamlessly with all major commercial roofing systems, including TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, BUR, and metal roofs.
Benefits of Solar Attachments
- Fast, Efficient Installation – Streamlined attachment solutions help reduce labor time and keep projects moving
- Broad Compatibility – Designed for use across commercial flat and low-slope roof systems
- Enhanced Roof Protection – Helps prevent membrane damage and long-term roof deterioration
- Watertight Performance – Properly sealed solar attachments protect roof integrity and reduce leak risk
- Stability and Longevity – Minimizes movement caused by wind, thermal cycling, and vibration
Our solar attachments help ensure your array stays secure and your roof system remains protected over the life of the installation.
Rooftop Consulting for Solar Attachments
Every commercial roof is different—and attachment strategies should reflect those differences. NRP offers rooftop consulting services to help solar companies select the right solar attachment solution for each project and ensure installation methods that preserve roof performance and warranty coverage.
We work directly with solar installers to provide:
- Solar attachment recommendations based on roof type, slope, and project conditions
- Load distribution guidance to minimize stress on the roofing assembly
- Best practices for waterproofing and sealing to maintain membrane integrity
Our expertise helps solar professionals reduce risk, avoid callbacks, and deliver dependable, long-lasting results.
Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Attachments
What is the difference between solar mounts and solar attachments?
Solar mounts (the system) = the entire structure that holds and positions the solar panels
Solar attachments (the connection point) = the specific connection points that fasten that structure to the roof or building
Solar mounts are the complete assemblies that support solar panels and hold them at the correct angle and spacing. They are responsible for structural integrity, load distribution, and panel alignment. Solar mounting systems are designed to withstand wind, snow, and seismic forces and are required to meet building and electrical codes.
Solar attachments are the hardware pieces that physically connect the solar mount to the roof structure. They penetrate, clamp, or ballast onto the roof and transfer wind and load forces safely into the building. They are considered the most critical waterproofing and structural element in rooftop solar installations.
Do I need solar‑specific attachments for commercial solar installation?
Yes. Solar attachments are not optional—they’re required because solar panels behave differently on a commercial roof than other equipment, and commercial codes, engineers, and manufacturers treat them as a unique structural system.
Solar attachments are engineered, spaced, and tested to resist wind forces that standard mechanical anchors are not rated for.
Do solar attachments protect the roof system and warranty?
Commercial roofs rely on membranes, insulation, and drainage details that can be compromised by improper penetrations. Solar attachments are designed to:
- Maintain watertight seals over decades
- Integrate with roofing assemblies (TPO, PVC, modified bitumen)
- Distribute loads without crushing insulation or creating point failures
Many roof manufacturers will deny warranty coverage if solar is installed using non‑approved or non‑solar attachments.
