These rib-fixed roof brackets carry solar rails on IBR metal and IBR Chromadek roof sheeting. IBR Solar Brackets suit homeowners, businesses, factories, farms and solar installers across South Africa. They give every rail a fixed base once a quote lists the mounting parts for an IBR roof.
Why IBR Solar Brackets Suit Ribbed Roofs
Ribbed metal roofs need solar roof brackets that sit on the rib, not in the pan. Each bracket forms the base of a solar panel mount system that carries rails and panels.
- Suits IBR metal and IBR Chromadek roofs.
- Carries P2000 rails in 3.2m and 6.4m lengths.
- Delivered nationwide in 2 to 5 working days.
Fitting Solar Panel Brackets For IBR Roof
Leaks at the fixings are the main worry on any metal roof install. Fix each bracket on the raised rib, never in the flat pan, so water drains away underneath.
Screw IBR brackets into the purlin below wherever you can reach it. That keeps the bracket tight and spreads the wind load into the roof structure.
Check the rib spacing on your sheeting before you order solar panel brackets for IBR roof rows. Send it with your quote request, and we’ll confirm the fit first.
Bracket spacing depends on panel size, purlin layout and site wind load. Your installer checks it against SANS 10160-3, which covers wind actions on structures. If you’d rather stay off the roof, book our solar installation service instead.
Compatibility And Fit On IBR Sheeting
Every bracket fixes to the rib with the 14mm x 22mm stitching screws sold in our range. It then carries the P2000 6.4m solar rail or the 3.2m length for shorter rows. Rails bolt on with M8 x 30mm galvanised steel bolts and washers.
Panels lock onto the rail with Solar Mid Clamps and Solar End Clamps. Longer rows join two rails with the Solar Panel Rail Link. Browse every length in our solar panel rails range before you order.
Corrugated And Tile Roofs
These brackets don’t suit corrugated or tile roofs. Use the Corrugated Roof Solar Mounts or Solar Panel Mounting Brackets for those. Compare all three roof types in our Mounting Brackets range.
Best Use Cases Across South Africa
Factories and businesses fit these brackets across large IBR roofs for three-phase arrays. Installers order them in quantity, because a large roof needs many fixing points.
- Homes with modern IBR or Chromadek roofs.
- Factory roofs carrying three-phase solar arrays.
- Farm sheds and workshops with IBR sheeting.
Homeowners on modern IBR roofs need brackets that hold the rail firmly. Fixing on the rib and into the purlin does exactly that. It’s the standard method for any metal roof solar bracket on ribbed sheeting.
Warranty Compliance And Trust
No product certification is listed for these brackets, so we don’t call them certified. The SS in the SKU isn’t a confirmed material grade, so we make no stainless steel claim.
Under SANS 10142-1, exposed metal in a PV installation must be earthed and bonded, brackets included. A registered person issues the Certificate of Compliance under the Electrical Installation Regulations. That certificate isn’t supplied with the brackets.
