1. Thats not saving money on rails. Thats just reallocating that money to addditional footings. 2. Hope you never have to change panel sizes... The entire point of rails, is the flexibility to allow different things, for different uses. Your needs may change, and rails allow for that. These things simply lock you into what you bolt them in for today, and screw tomorrow. Absolutely terrible idea.
You fail to mention this material is also use for people living in shanty Towns
Great work, guys! 😎👏
Amazing Job!
Awesome
whats the spacing on the feet is there a link? Or whats the average spacing? we were doing 2 and 4 feet.
FYI The satellite dish pole is mounted 180 degrees the wrong way.
Very interesting insights. Many thanks,!
Those poor fingers
where to order
Use google
It's impressive to see the rigorous testing standards in place for metal roofing products. The emphasis on testing products that penetrate the roof panel is particularly important, as these can be potential weak points.
Yea, I’m NOT drilling my fucking roof.
Does your clamp make a hole in the vertical seam?
Thanks for the info
How do you handle mounting gooseneck barn lights on the walls?

The side bolt design and customizable inserts offer a high level of versatility and strength. It's great to see S-5! continuing to innovate and provide solutions for a wide range of roofing applications.
The versatility and strength of the S-5-K Grip Clamp is what truly sets it apart from competitors. Here at S-5!, we are passionate about providing continuous innovations for metal roofing applications, and we greatly appreciate your support! Stay tuned for more valuable content in the near future.
@@TheMetalRoofingAcademy Excited to see what you come up with next. Keep pushing the boundaries.
A brilliant solution for those who want to mount solar panels or other accessories on their metal roofs without compromising the integrity of their roofing system. The non-penetrating design is a huge plus, especially for maintaining warranties and preventing leaks.
Thank you so much for watching our video on the S-5-R465 clamp! We're thrilled to hear that you found the information valuable and we hope you enjoy our other Clamp Showcase videos. We appreciate your support and look forward to bringing you more useful content.
@@TheMetalRoofingAcademy You're welcome. Keep it up.
It's great to see a company that prioritizes both cost-effectiveness and performance. Their attention to detail in designing clamps for various roof types and gauges shows their commitment to providing reliable and versatile solutions.
You nailed it! Attention to detail is key here at S-5! and that's how we stay at the forefront of the metal roofing industry. Stay tuned for more Clamp Showcase videos in the future and thank you for the support.
@@TheMetalRoofingAcademy Absolutely. Looking forward to the next Clamp Showcase. Keep up the great work.
i see the t-slot in the end grab clamps. what's the intended use? anything in particular? thanks.
Our PVKonceal (www.s-5.com/products/pvkonceal/) interfaces with that slot, but for projects not utilizing PVKonceal, it isn’t used for anything.
0:42 "fall protection" for the two-set screw version? really?
None of our clamps or brackets are certified for fall protection by themselves, but we have industry partners who design certified fall protection systems which utilize our products - often our standard sized clamps.
@@TheMetalRoofingAcademy thanks. which partners, if you can say? I've seen standing seam fall protection clamps for $200+. it seemed to me that a couple of your standard clamps could be used together for much less.
@@ronaldchong You can see a list of our fall protection distribution partners here (www.s-5.com/how-to-buy/?regionId=5f4523c59f8660000ba09831&productCategory=Fall%20Protection). However please feel free to email us at support@s-5.com where one of our technical support reps can speak more specifically about your needs than we can on a public forum.
Fantastic achievement, I recall on-going issues when we built ours. Best wish to you, your team and family
All fastening systems come with specifications to respect. How do you respect the torque (NM) specifications with the driver tools used in the video?🤔
Hi Martin, For our self-piercing fasteners, we recommend to use a screw gun which can be set to a specific stopping point so that after a few screws, you won’t really need to worry about over-torquing. Being said, our self-piercing fasteners have an epdm washer, and you’ll want to watch for the visual indication that the washer is compressed. That will be your visual cue that the fastener has reached the appropriate torque and stop.
Thanks. Re. Grounding: can you run copper wire through the discs? Would you run then through each mounting point or only some?
You’ll want to use a grounding lug on each section of bonded sub-array or array. Our PVKIT will bond each column of modules, and by using a bonding jumper (or similar) to bond column to column, the entire sub-array will be bonded. Then, a grounding lug can be used to run a copper wire to ground. The grounding lug can attach to a module frame or a PVKIT disk. Grounding lugs, bonding jumpers, and other useful solar hardware can be found on the hardware section of our website (www.s-5.com/hardware), and can be purchased through our distributors.
Nope. Flat mount will overheat under the panel, collect too much snow, can't be properly sun angled. There is no free lunch.
While some projects certainly still have more success with a tilt mount system, the roof top solar industry has largely shifted towards flush mount systems. This is mostly since module efficiency has improved to the point that the ROI from the project is often better with flush mount systems compared to tilt. Flush mount systems can have more modules/roof space, compared to tilted modules which can get better efficiency per module due to the ideal tilt, but module/area is lower since space is lost due to shadows from the raised modules. Tilt mount systems also face much greater wind forces compared to a flush mount system.
Where i can buy this type of hook?
Which hooks are you referrring to? If you mean the GripperFix struts, they're available through all our distributors. Here's a link to one place they can be purchased through. buys-5.com/gripperfix-utility-mounting-system-for-metal-roofing

Bro am from Benin republic and I like your video, really helpful, I was even coming to Ikeja next week to buy one and install it to a client, your video was very helpful, thanks bro
We're glad to hear you found the video helpful!
Thank you.
It was great to see S-5 at the Smart Energy Conference 2024 in Sydney last week. We've created a walkaround recap of the event too! ⚡⚡
Awesome content as always! Wishing you all the best everyday.
This question is about standing seam roof projects in general... how do you penetrate/flash the deck to get your wires into the attic and down to the inverter?
Thanks for reaching out! This question is a tough one, and the answer will likely vary based on the exact kind of metal roof you have. Please reach out to us at support@s-5.com and we'll be happy to discuss this with you further on a project level. Roof flashings are not something S-5! manufactures, but we certainly have industry partners who are experts in this subject matter.
Great video
I put mine on with the pivot mount from SL with some strong magnets that are coated with rubber. I got hit directly with a hurricane & my dish didn't go anywhere. Much better than screws. I can move it or take it down with ease.
We are glad you found a solution you like. Just please note that this project is on an exposed-fastener roof, which has hundreds of penetrations already - as is the way these roofs are supposed to be installed. We have a non-penetrative solution for standing seam roofs which is what you might have.
it will damage the panel if you turn it upside down like that on the roof
We entirely agree. This video is for visual demonstration purposes only. We don't want you to place your modules upside down.
So what happens when you need your roof clear and it has 3 ft of snow and is about to collaps your roof. Dont those just defete the purpous of metal roof
What I believe you are describing is a common misconception. What you are referring to is when buildings are designed with a "slippery roof load reduction". This is quite rare, and in nearly every high snow load area, using a slippery roof load reduction is against building code since buildings must be able to safely withstand the absolute most snow load the project location could experience. Adding snow retention on those roofs does not pose a risk, since the buildings are designed to handle the entire snow load that building code dictates.
