Tackle your projects on sensitive roofs where penetrations are not an option. The adhesive-based Mono Rail is a superior mounting solution engineered for a completely non-invasive installation. It is specifically designed to create a powerful, lasting bond directly to the roof surface, providing exceptional strength and stability without a single screw or bolt.
Choose the Mono Rail for total roof preservation without compromising on strength. Its innovative system uses advanced adhesive technology to create a secure anchor that fully protects the roof from leaks and damage. This robust, bonded performance is the future of solar mounting on sensitive surfaces; the simplified, penetration-free system eliminates risk while reducing installation time and complexity. It delivers a secure, waterproof, and technologically advanced solution.
The system uses an industrial-grade chemical adhesive, not simple glue. This advanced adhesive creates a powerful chemical bond with the roof surface that is engineered and lab-tested to withstand the uplift (wind) and shear (gravity/snow) forces required for solar installations.
It is designed for specific smooth, non-porous roof surfaces. This typically includes single-ply membranes like TPO and PVC, and some types of metal roofing. It is not suitable for granular surfaces like asphalt shingles or porous materials like tile.
No. The adhesive is chemically engineered to be compatible with specific membrane types (like TPO/PVC). It bonds with the surface without degrading it, preserving the membrane's integrity and waterproof qualities.
The adhesive is designed to last for the entire lifespan of the solar energy system (25+ years). It is formulated to be highly resistant to water, UV radiation, and extreme temperatures to ensure a permanent, long-term bond.
The process is simpler than mechanical systems but requires meticulous preparation. The roof surface must be thoroughly cleaned with specific approved solvents to remove all dirt and oils. Once prepped, the mount is placed, and the adhesive is allowed to cure for a specified time.
Typically, no. Most adhesive systems have specific temperature and humidity requirements for installation. Applying the adhesive in cold or wet conditions can prevent it from curing properly and achieving its full bonding strength.
Removal requires a specific process, often involving a combination of a heat gun to soften the adhesive and a specialized tool to slowly cut the bond without damaging the roof membrane underneath.
The number one reason is to preserve the roof. It is the ideal solution for low-slope roofs where the building owner wants to avoid hundreds of penetrations, completely eliminating the risk of leaks and protecting the roof's warranty.
Yes. Reputable adhesive-based systems undergo rigorous third-party testing to ensure they meet the same industry standards for wind and snow loads as traditional mechanical systems, and they will have the certifications to prove it.
Yes. Once the chemical curing process is complete, the adhesive becomes an inert, solid polymer that is stable and does not leach chemicals into the environment.
