Solar mounting structure for residential roofs – Tiled and flat roofs
Residential solar mounting structure designed for tiled roofs and flat roofs. Manufactured in AL6005-T6 aluminium and stainless steel, it respects the roof structure and guarantees aesthetic and safe integration. Tilt angle from 10° to 40°, compatible with landscape and portrait module layouts.
Overview
Bexie Energy’s residential solar mounting structure is a photovoltaic mounting system specifically designed for tiled roofs and residential rooftops, respecting both the structural integrity of the roof and the aesthetics of the building. The residential solar mounting structure offers safe, clean and professional installation that integrates discreetly into any type of residential roof.
Bexie’s residential solar mounting structure is manufactured in AL6005-T6 aluminium and stainless steel, the most suitable materials for permanent rooftop installation that will maintain its integrity and appearance throughout the lifespan of the photovoltaic installation.

Compatible residential roof types
The residential solar mounting structure is designed for the most common roof types in homes across Europe:
- Clay tile roofs: fixing via tile hooks that don’t require penetrating the waterproofing layer
- Concrete tile roofs: compatible with the main concrete tile formats on the market
- Flat roofs: specific solution with ballasting or direct fixing without penetration
- Slate roofs: with fixing systems adapted to the slate format
- The residential solar mounting structure is compatible with clay, concrete and slate tiles, as well as flat roofs.
Advantages of the residential solar mounting structure over other solutions
- Specifically designed for residential roofs — respects the roof structure
- Aesthetic integration — low profile and colours that blend with the roof
- No penetration of the waterproofing layer in most cases
- Anodised aluminium — corrosion resistance and lasting professional appearance
- Stainless steel fasteners — no staining or visible corrosion
- Easy installation — modular system with clear instructions
Design that respects the aesthetics of the home
Bexie’s residential solar mounting structure has been designed taking into account not only the structural function but also visual integration with the existing roof. The low-profile anodised aluminium profiles minimise the visual impact of the installation, making the solar panels look integrated into the roof rather than added externally.
Structural resistance on residential roofs
The residential solar mounting structure is designed to withstand the most demanding weather conditions:
- Wind speeds of up to 60 m/s — above standard requirements in residential areas
- Snow load of 0.55 kPa — suitable for areas with frequent snowfall
- Tilt angle from 10° to 40° — covers the majority of residential roof pitches
- Compatible with landscape and portrait module layouts

How many panels fit on my roof?
On a standard residential roof of 40-60 m² of usable south-facing surface, between 8 and 15 panels of 500W can be installed, generating an installed capacity of 4 to 7.5 kWp. This is equivalent to between 4,500 and 8,500 kWh per year — enough to cover between 70% and 100% of the electricity consumption of an average home in southern Europe.

Integration with the complete PV system
The residential solar mounting structure can be combined with our TopCon solar panels, hybrid inverters and storage batteries for a complete residential self-consumption installation. Take a look at the rest of the solar mounting structures in the Bexie catalogue.
Frequently asked questions about the residential solar mounting structure
Do tiles need to be broken to install the structure?
Not necessarily. The tile hook system allows the structure to be fixed without breaking or drilling existing tiles in most cases. The hook slides under the tile and is fixed to the roof structure, keeping the waterproofing intact.
Can the installation cause leaks?
A properly carried out installation shouldn’t cause leaks. The fixing points are sealed correctly and the system is designed to respect the roof’s waterproofing layer. Our certified installers guarantee the watertightness of every fixing point.
Is it compatible with panels from any manufacturer?
Yes, the residential solar mounting structure is compatible with most solar panels on the market in standard formats. Contact our technical team to confirm compatibility with your specific model.
What roof pitch is compatible?
The system is compatible with roofs from 10° to 40° pitch, which covers virtually all residential roofs in Europe. For pitches outside this range, contact our technical team.
Do I need to reinforce the roof structure?
In most homes built to standard regulations, this isn’t necessary. Solar panels and the structure add between 15 and 25 kg/m² of additional load, which is usually within the safety margins of conventional roofs. A prior inspection of the roof structure is recommended before installation.
