SolVe Mount
The SolVe Mount expands upon tightening a nut, sealing the roof covering and membrane securely in one quick, easy motion - without putting downward pressure on the roof covering.
No removing or grinding tiles, flashing, rubber mats or sealant required.
Compatible with existing rails, such as Renusol, Schletter, Fastensol & others.
Benefits for Installers
Speed - 30 slate roof mounts installed in 45 minutes. No removing slates or tiles needed.
Ease of installation - No pre training required.
No call backs - No flashing or sealant required. One foolproof motion seals the membrane and roof covering perfectly every time by tightening a nut.
Fit & Forget - 20 year parts & labour warranty.
Strength & Versatility - Pull out force exceeds 1000kg per mount making them suitable for high wind load areas of the roof. No removing tiles/slates means you can install closer to the edge or ridge line.
Reduced weight. One box of 20 SolVe mounts weighs 2.5kg - safer to carry up a ladder.
Minimal storage space - a box of 20 mounts weighs just 2.5kg and small enough to fit in your glovebox
Patented Seal
The SolVe Mount features a unique expansion seal, eliminating the need for mastic or sealant while ensuring a perfect IPx8-rated seal, every time.
This advanced sealing method prevents water ingress whilst avoiding downward pressure on the roof covering and allowing the bolt to move/vibrate in high winds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of roofs are compatible with SolVe Mount?
SolVe Mount is compatible with a variety of roof types, including slate roofs, concrete tiles, interlocking tiles, plain tiles and roofs with spray foam insulation, metal roof coverings.
It is not yet recommended for double Roman/non flat tiles if the SolVe Cap can't deform the seal without touching the roof covering.
How long will the SolVe seal last?
25+ years.
Our silicone rubber manufacturer estimates at least 60 years.
Unlike plastics or sealant that disintegrate or decompose over time, our pure silicone rubber seal could last for 500 years.
Can I use sealant with the SolVe mount for an extra layer of protection?
You can. Our seal will still be intact long after the sealant has degraded so adding sealant wouldn't negatively affect the seal. The seal provides multiple layers of protection so sealant wouldn't improve the watertightness.
Please don't add sealant before installing the mount as instructed as our seal is IPx8 rated (waterproof under 1m of water) without sealant getting in the way.
How long does it take to install each mount?
Each SolVe Mount can be installed in less than 60 seconds, making it one of the fastest solar roof mounting solutions available.
Compared to a slate roof using Genius Slate flashing:
20 roof hooks + flashing installation time: 20 x 15 minutes = 5 hours.
20 x SolVe mounts: 20 x 1 minute = 20 minutes.
Saving 4 hours 40 minutes.
Larger installations could save days of labour and reduce the complexity considerably with our foolproof and repeatable installation process.
Is any sealant or mastic required for installation?
No, the SolVe Mount uses a patented expansion seal technology that provides a perfect IPx8-rated seal without the need for mastic or sealant.
Can the mount withstand high winds?
Yes, the design allows the mount to handle high winds and installation stresses by transferring the load directly to the rafter whilst allowing for movement/vibration from the bolt.
Can you stand on the rails during installation and not damage the tiles underneath.
Yes. Standing on the rails would not put any load onto the roof covering.
Load is transferred through the bolt directly into the rafter. The seal allows the bolt to move without passing any load onto the roof covering.
