The SikaRoof® Solar Mount-2 (SSM2) system is a non-penetrating, lightweight solar mounting system, specially designed for the installation of photovoltaic panels on flat roofs with FPO and PVC membranes.
Key Benefits
- FM Approval
SSM2 is the first solar mounting solution in the market with FM 4478 approval, a globally recognized certification that ensures a product meets rigorous safety and quality standards.
Wind tunnel tested.
The only solution that complies with single ply membranes.
- Membrane Compatibility
To maintain the roof warranty and prevent damage, the solar mounting system must be compatible with the roof membrane. SSM2 ensures compatibility between the fixing elements and the roof membrane, contributing to its long-term durability and enabling the roof membrane and roof warranty to remain valid.
- Aerodynamic with Integrated Wind Deflectors
Component geometry and wind tunnel validation (e.g. FM 4478 compliance) help resist uplift and sliding without additional ballast or friction layers.
SSM2 mounting system has a wind deflector integrated that reduces structural stress, sail effect and wind loads tension on the roof.
Improve panel performance by reducing vibrations generated by the pressure itself.
- Warranty
SSM2 system complies with the membrane and allows the customer to also keep the warranty of the Sika membrane.
- Non-penetrating System
SSM2 is an innovative, welded mounting solution that allows solar panels to be fixed without the use of ballast or penetration.
Ballast systems are extremely unsafe and cause damage to roofs as well as posing a risk to the solar installations themselves.
- Welded Solar Mount System
SikaRoof® SSM2 clicks welded clamps for hot air are integrated into the roof membrane without the need to drill or puncture the waterproofing layers, which drastically reduces the risk of leaks and preserves the roof warranty.
- Lightweight System
As roofing experts we know that solar mounting systems on a rooftop must be lightweight to prevent damage to the roof membrane, structural issues, etc.
SSM2 is the lightest system in the market that does not use any ballast fixation.
- Quick Installation
Fewer parts and membrane-compatible materials enable quicker setup and lower field labor requirements.
- High Quality Materials
The SSM2 system is made of Magnelis® steel which is a material with exceptional corrosion resistance, thanks to a zinc-aluminum-magnesium coating that provides a self-healing effect, protecting cut or perforated surfaces. Up to 10 times more resistant than standard galvanized steel.
Where it Fits Best
On flat rooftops up to 10 degrees
On rooftops with FPO or PVC membranes
Roofs with limited load bearing
Durability needs
SSM2 is an innovative, welded solution and a highly versatile solar mounting system designed specifically for flat roofs. It is ideally suited for the following:
- On flat roofs with FPO or PVC membranes, where it is essential to use lightweight solar mounting systems that do not damage the roof as well as to ensure the waterproofing integrity of the roof.
- Flat roofs or low-slope applications with Sika membrane systems with full system guarantee.
Flat roofs are often the most complex areas when it comes to installing a solar system - not simply because they are flat, but because it is crucial to understand the roof’s build-up, something solar companies are often unaware of.
That is why at Sika we have developed the SSM2 mounting system specially designed for flat membrane roofs, which takes into account the build-up of the roof to ensure a safe and durable solar installation.
