Fits well for
- Bitumen roofs where membrane integrity must be preserved
- Commercial buildings that require clean installation execution
- Projects that need clear technical documentation
SmartSolarGlue
Bonded mounting without roof membrane penetration
SmartSolarGlue provides a structured installation method for bitumen roofs where membrane integrity must be maintained. Built for professional installers who need predictable progress and clear documentation.
Talk to our technical teamWhere it fits and where it does not
A quick fit-check before engineering saves time in procurement and installation.
Not ideal for
- Roofs with unknown substrate condition without pre-assessment
- Projects without time for proper curing windows
- Buildings with geometry that require another fixing concept
System flow from roof to operation
A clear process helps all project roles align on sequence and quality.
- 01
Substrate
Roof surface is inspected and installation field is marked for positioning.
- 02
Pre-treatment
Surface is cleaned and prepared according to manufacturer guidance.
- 03
Bonding
Metal blocks are bonded with specialty adhesive in the designed pattern.
- 04
Curing
Required curing time is completed before full system load is applied.
- 05
Operation
Panels are fixed with module clamps and the field is prepared for operation.
Daily operation: correct pre-treatment and curing provide stable fixing performance. For maintenance or expansion, the same documented workflow is followed.
Three operational installation steps
Each step has a clear objective, estimated duration and field control checkpoints.
Step 1
Prepare the substrate
Measure field layout, verify membrane condition and complete required pre-treatment.
Approx. 15–25 min per field
Step 2
Bond and place blocks
Apply adhesive in the correct pattern and place blocks according to project layout.
Approx. 20–35 min per field
Step 3
Complete installation
Mount panels with module clamps, complete field checks and prepare the next row.
Approx. 20–30 min per fieldTechnical overview that is easy to scan
Key values and clarifications collected in a format suited for engineering meetings.
No penetration
Blocks are bonded directly to bitumen roof membrane without drilling.
1 tube / 5 blocks
Follow the installation guide for consumption, pattern and curing time.
Above 10° needs support
A support bracket is used in the bottom row to handle additional load.
3 operational steps
Prepare, bond and finish with the same structure across the full field.
Roof and load adapted
Wind, snow, field size and layout are assessed per project.
Patented principle
Documented solution with a clearly quality-controlled workflow.
What gets documented
Quality basis that makes the transition from planning to operation safer.
Load basis
Roof-specific assessment of load conditions and fixing setup.
Installation guide
Step-by-step method for pre-treatment, bonding, curing and inspection.
Control points
Requirements for placement, adhesive seam and final quality checks.
Operational basis
Recommended routines for inspection, deviations and maintenance.
Project case with hard numbers
Illustrative example of how SmartSolarGlue can be used in a logistics building.
Illustrative case: Logistics building with bitumen roof
The project shows a typical delivery with bonded fixing and zero membrane perforation.
Roof area 3,200 m²
Installed power 540 kWp
Modules 1,170
Membrane perforations 0
Installation period 6 days
Adhesive usage 234 tubes
Figures are illustrative and must be adapted to actual roof data, load basis and installation plan.
Frequently asked questions
Short and practical answers for installers and project leads.
Do we need to drill into the roof membrane?
No. SmartSolarGlue is designed for bonded fixing without membrane penetration.
How much adhesive is needed?
Plan for 1 tube of adhesive per 5 blocks. Final usage depends on field layout and project specification.
Can the system be used on pitched roofs?
Yes. On roofs above 10°, a support bracket is used in the lowest row to manage additional load.
What documentation is included before delivery?
Typical documentation includes load basis, installation instructions, control points and operational guidance.
What is the next step if we have a project?
Send roof data and your timeline. We provide a technical assessment with a recommended setup.
Do you have a real project? Share roof data or a short brief and we will recommend the right setup.
