Key Service Advantages
Zero Roof Penetrations
We lock compression clamps onto the standing metal seams, securing your solar panels without creating any entry points for leaks.
Perfect Lifespan Parity
A premium metal roof lasts 50+ years, matching or exceeding the lifetime of your solar panels. No premature tear-offs are needed.
High Wind Hurricane Resistance
Clamped solar arrays act as a structural wind-barrier. Engineered to exceed Broward County's strict 150+ mph wind speed codes.
Lower Installation Costs
No roof penetrations mean fewer flashing boots, less sealant, and faster labor times, passing the savings on to you.
Our Professional Process
Planet Roofing follows a strict, code-approved workflow to guarantee structural safety and GAF warranty compliance.
1. Structural Inspection
Our engineers calculate structural dead-load capacity, inspect metal gauge thickness, and verify that the fastener patterns in your substrate meet wind-uplift requirements.
2. Non-Penetrating Clamping
We lock heavy-duty S-5! aluminum clamps onto the seams. These clamps use round-point setscrews to grip the seam without puncturing or scraping the protective metal coating.
3. Racking & Array Layout
We secure anodized aluminum rails to the clamps, then lay down Tier-1 solar modules, grounding each module using IronRidge grounding lugs for ultimate electrical safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions regarding this service in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Do solar panels damage a metal roof?
No. In fact, solar panels provide a layer of protection against South Florida's intense UV radiation, heavy rains, and hail, shielding the metal beneath and extending the lifespan of your roof panels.
Will installing solar panels void my metal roof warranty?
No, provided that you use a zero-penetration clamping system like the one we employ. Because we do not drill holes or use fasteners that pierce the metal sheets, the manufacturer's weather-tightness warranty remains fully intact.
What happens if the metal roof needs to be replaced later?
This is the best part of putting solar on a metal roof: because standing seam roofs outlast solar panel systems, you will almost never have to remove the panels for a roof replacement. If you have an older metal roof, we recommend doing a roof replacement first, then adding solar.
