Key Features

Solar Limpet Fixing Options

Fixing

For tile applications, there are two installation options depending on the rafter position. Please see the fixing guide in downloads for more information.

Solar Limpets tile blanks can be used to replace the tiles under Limpets to avoid fragile handmade clay-type tile breakages

Reduced Breakages on Fragile Tiled Roofs

Using Limpet Tile Blanks to replace tiles below the Limpet baseplate will further reduce damage to fragile tile roofs. Also, using 1.2m lengths of 4 x 2inch timber rested on the installed Limpets in addition to the rails will also help spread any compression loading during the installation.
