K2 SingleRail Splice Foot Installation: Maximising Garage Roof Potential for Sustainable Energy
The primary reason for choosing the K2 SingleRail Splice Foot system was its ability to integrate seamlessly with the existing garage roof without requiring extensive modifications. The splice foot design allows for secure attachment to the roof structure, even with varying roof types and pitches, minimizing the risk of damage and ensuring a stable foundation for the solar panels. This was crucial for this project, as the garage roof was a shingle roof, with limited space.
Secondly, the SingleRail system's streamlined design and components facilitated a quick and efficient installation. This was a significant advantage, minimising the time required on-site and reducing labor costs. The ease of installation was particularly important in this case, as access to the roof was limited, and the homeowner wanted minimal disruption.
Finally, the K2 SingleRail system offered the necessary flexibility to optimise the placement of the solar panels for maximum energy generation. The single rail splice foot design allows for adjustments in panel positioning, ensuring optimal exposure to sunlight throughout the day. This was a key consideration in maximising the return on investment for the homeowner.
This installation demonstrates how the K2 SingleRail Splice Foot system can effectively transform underutilised spaces, like existing garage roofs, into valuable sources of clean energy. The system’s adaptability, ease of installation, and performance make it an ideal choice for retrofit solar projects, allowing homeowners to embrace sustainable energy solutions without significant structural alterations or disruption.
“We completed the installation of a K2 SingleRail Splice Foot system on the garage in Little Dunmow today. This was a retrofit project on an existing garage roof. The homeowner was keen to get solar installed without too much disruption, and the SingleRail system proved to be a good choice for that.
The splice foot design made attaching the rails to the existing roof structure straightforward. We carefully located the roof rafters and secured the feet accordingly. The instructions provided with the K2 system are clear, which made the process efficient. We did have to workaround the next-door neighbour’s adjoined garage , but we were able to overcome these challenges without any major issues.
The SingleRail system itself was easy to assemble and the panels attached quickly. We took extra care to ensure all the connections were tight and weatherproof. The homeowner was pleased with how neatly the system integrated with the garage roof and was especially happy that the installation was completed in the time frame given. We cleaned up the site before leaving and walked the homeowner through the basic operation of the system. Overall, a smooth and successful installation.”
