Description
xRail-Free Solar Panel Mounting for Trapezoidal and Metal Roofs | 400mm Profile
A lightweight and economical rail-free mounting solution for solar panels on trapezoidal, corrugated tin, and flat metal roofs. Each 400mm aluminium profile replaces a full-length rail section, significantly reducing weight and installation time. EPDM rubber pads provide a weatherproof seal. Complete end and middle clamps included with every kit.
Key Features
- Short 400mm aluminium profile replaces full-length mounting rails
- Rail-free design suitable for trapezoidal, corrugated, and flat metal roofs
- Four-way, five-hole profile for flexible panel positioning
- EPDM rubber weatherproof pads at each fixing point
- Stainless steel screws (4 per profile)
- End and middle clamps included per kit
- Lightweight and fast to install
Product Overview
The 400mm rail-less mounting profile is designed for metal roofs where installing full-length aluminium rails is impractical or unnecessarily heavy. The short profile sits across the crest of a trapezoidal rib or corrugation and is fixed using four stainless steel screws, each sealed with an EPDM rubber pad to prevent water ingress.
The four-way, five-hole pattern in the profile allows the solar panel position to be adjusted laterally during installation, providing flexibility on roofs where rib spacing may vary slightly. End and middle clamps are included with each kit, scaled to the number of modules ordered, so no additional accessories are required.

Installation and Safety Notes

Verify purlin spacing before ordering and planning panel layout. Wind uplift must be assessed for the site. Do not fix into roof sheet alone without structural backing.
