Schletter solar mounting systems: the reliable base for your PV installations

Founded in 1968 in Riem, east of Munich, Schletter was initially known as AluKon. The company relocated to Haag, Upper Bavaria, in 1983, where the Schletter Group is headquartered today. Since its entry into the PV industry in the early 2000s, Schletter has been producing high-quality solar mounting systems ever since.

With over two decades of experience in the PV industry, Schletter offers reliable and modern mounting systems for pitched roofs, flat roofs, and ground-mounted installations.

Schletter's mounting systems are divided into two major series: the Classic System and the new ProLine System. Here's an overview of both:

Schletter Classic System 

If you have ever installed a photovoltaic system, you are probably already familiar with the Schletter Classic mounting system. The development of the PV industry has led to an expansion of the product range. As photovoltaic technology has developed significantly over the past 20 years, Schletter has continuously updated the Classic Line. New installation methods and formats created the need for new products. For this purpose, Schletter developed adapter systems to enable installers to maintain older systems and make them compatible with modern systems. The effort that the manufacturer invested on ensuring compatibility of older systems can be seen, for example, in the clamp width: The Classic systems are designed for module frames between 30 and 50 mm and are therefore also compatible with older, wider module frames. Components like rails, roof hooks, and other components remain suitable for all types of PV systems. Over the years, the portfolio has become extensive, including more than 300 products. Schletter now also offers the new, sleek, and simplified Schletter ProLine mounting system.

Schletter ProLine System 

The new Schletter ProLine System is a universal mounting system with just 70 components. This simplified design has been made possible thanks to the manufacturer’s 20 years of experience in the industry of solar mounting systems and the vast amount of feedback received from installers. Insights from these installation experiences have been incorporated to make the new system particularly user-friendly. With easy handling, fewer components and a modular design, Schletter ProLine range meets all PV needs, from rooftop photovoltaics to large solar power installations. Since all components come from a single manufacturer, PV system installations are more efficient, faster, and simpler.

The Schletter SoloPro rail is an extremely flexible and robust solution for photovoltaic installations. The rail diameter has been increased from 30 x 35 mm to 40 x 40 mm, since the previous model proved to be particularly susceptible to pressure in everyday installation work - for example, when installers need to support themselves on the rail. The lighter 30 x 35 mm rail is still available and, due to its lower weight, is ideal for installations on a lighter base, such as on carports or pergolas.
