Two types of installation for solar hooks

Solar hooks anchor PV modules to roofs—especially tile surfaces—and come in two installation types:

Horizontal Solar Hooks

Definition: Designed for systems where the module’s long side runs parallel to the eaves.

Common Types & Uses:
- L-Hook: Delivers simple, economical mounting for diverse roof types.
- S-Hook: Features an arc design that suits curved tiles (e.g., Spanish or corrugated roofs).
- Adjustable Hook: Enables height/angle flexibility on uneven surfaces.
Ideal For:
- Cement, ceramic, and metal tile roofs
- Projects arranging modules along the eaves

Vertical Solar Hooks

Definition: Optimized for systems where the module’s short side aligns with the eaves.

Common Types & Uses:
- U-Hook: Provides reinforced stability for heavier roofs.
- Reinforced Hook: Uses thickened materials to boost load capacity.
- Adjustable Hook: Adjusts seamlessly for steep-slope roofs.
Ideal For:
- Vertical module arrangements along eaves
- Space-constrained roofs maximizing layout efficiency
- High-wind/rain regions needing enhanced stability

For spacious roofs: Prioritize horizontal hooks—they simplify installation and distribute force evenly.
For tight spaces: Vertical hooks optimize space utilization despite complex conditions.
Extreme weather: Vertical installations often withstand wind/rain more effectively.
