Makes standing-seam roofs seem easy.

easySEAM — photovoltaic mounting system for standing seam and sheet seam roofs

The easySEAM system from ALUMERO is a sophisticated PV substructure specifically for sheet metal seam roofs (standing seam roofs). As a solar engineer, roofer or electrician, it offers you a reliable and stable solution for mounting solar modules on tin roofs — without to penetrate the roof covering‍. ALUMERO looks back on over 25 years of experience, which guarantees the highest functionality and quality of your PV mounting solution. In the following, you will find out which advantages and variants the easySEAM mounting system offers and why it is ideal for photovoltaics on folded sheet roofs in Austria and Germany.

Benefits and features of the easySEAM system

• Quick & easy installation: The easySEAM features a particularly time-saving installation. Many components are pre-assembled, such as the quick assembly adapter for carrier profiles. For you, this means: fewer work steps on the roof and therefore a shorter installation time. The modules can be quickly fixed thanks to the sophisticated click system, which reduces assembly costs and makes projects more efficient.
• No roof penetration: As a penetration-free mounting system, easySEAM is attached directly to the fold — without drilling or screwing into the roof‍. Your roof covering remains intact, preventing leaks and maintaining existing roof guarantees. This clamping attachment with a fixing screw holds securely without affecting the statics of the roof. You benefit from careful installation that does not damage the roof structure.
• Compatible with all folding profiles: No matter which standing seam profile you're dealing with — easySEAM has the right clamp. The system comprises sheet metal seam clamps for various types of folds such as double standing seam, angled standing seam and round seam as well as for profiled special roofs (e.g. Domico, Rib-Roof 465, Klip-Lok). This makes it suitable for All common sheet metal roof types. easySEAM can be used safely even with roof slopes of 7° to 60°. This diversity gives you maximum flexibility when planning — whether it's a residential building, agricultural hall or commercial roof, easySEAM is guaranteed to fit.
• Flexible module arrangement: The system allows modules to be installed both vertically and horizontally (vertically or horizontally). You can therefore choose the optimal module orientation depending on the roof area and the customer's wishes. Stability is guaranteed in both cases, as the terminals are statically tested and hold reliably. This flexibility in the module arrangement makes it easier for you to make optimal use of the roof area and allows the modules to be laid neatly in rows.
• Tested statics & durability: Safety is a top priority: All easySEAM sheet metal folding clamps are tested and statically tested. You can rely on the fortifications to withstand storms and snow loads — project-related load calculations are carried out conveniently with ALUMERO Solar.Pro.Tool software. The high-quality materials (supporting parts made of aluminum EN AW 6063 T66, screws made of stainless steel V2A) ensure corrosion resistance and a long service life. The mounting system is certified for building heights of up to 25 m and meets all relevant standards, so that your PV system with easySEAM can be operated safely and stably over the long term.
• Sustainable metagreen alloys: Another plus from the point of view of wholesalers and environmentally conscious decision makers: ALUMERO manufactures the aluminum rails and clips with its metagreen technology. This includes up to 80% recycled aluminum for use, which leads to significantly lower CO₂ emissions — and that without loss of quality. So you get an environmentally friendly assembly system that combines sustainability and performance. Especially in times of green building and ESG criteria, you can score points like this, because the easySEAM system supports climate-friendly PV projects Made in the EU.

Two variants: easySEAM TPF and easySEAM TBK

The easySEAM system is available in two versions to meet different mounting preferences: TPF and TBK. Both variants share the advantages mentioned above (fast, penetration-free installation, proven quality), but differ in design and scope of application. In the following, we will explain the differences and when which variant is ideal.

easySEAM TPF — installation with carrier profiles (rail system)

The TPF variant uses classic mounting rails (carrier profiles). After fixing the folding clamps, a continuous support profile is mounted on the clamps, which serves as a rail for the modules‍. Thanks to the pre-assembled quick-assembly adapter in the clamps, the rail can be quickly snapped in and fixed. This system shows its strengths particularly when oriented vertically (vertical format of the modules), as here the profiles run parallel to the roof ridge and two rails are used per row of modules (standard for standing seam roofs)‍. But with TPF, you can also mount modules in landscape mode — there is full flexibility.

When is TPF suitable? Whenever you value broad load distribution and maximum variability. The continuous rails distribute the load of the modules over several terminals, which is an advantage for large roof areas and higher loads. The rail system also makes it easier to align the modules in a line. In short: easySEAM TPF is ideal for medium to large PV systems on standing seam roofs, where classic rail installation is required and modules must be mounted both vertically and horizontally.

easySEAM TBK — installation with short rails (railless system)

The TBK variant is coming without long support profiles. Here, short mounting rails are already pre-assembled on the folding clamps, on which the modules are attached directly‍. This short rail system saves material and time: You don't have to align or screw separate rails — after attaching the clamps to the fold, you can fix the solar modules directly onto the clamp short rails. This reduces assembly costs to a minimum, which is particularly attractive for projects with a tight time frame.

Important difference: With easySEAM TBK, the modules are usually mounted in landscape (horizontal) format. The short rails grip the modules on their long side (longitudinal clamping), which is optimized for modules placed horizontally. Short rails are less common in portrait mode, which is why TBK is primarily intended for transverse modules.

When is TBK suitable? If you want to install small to medium-sized systems quickly and the modules are designed in landscape mode anyway. For example, you can install TBK very efficiently on a standing seam roof with a limited number of modules, as there is no need to align rails. TBK can also be advantageous on angled roof surfaces, as fewer components need to be installed. Despite the omission of the long rail, the assembly remains stable and secure — the modules are solidly attached to the pre-assembled short rails. easySEAM TBK is therefore the fastest solution for penetration-free PV installation on folded roofs when the conditions are right.

Your benefits with easySEAM at a glance

With the ALUMERO easySEAM mounting system for sheet metal seam roofs, you can bring your photovoltaic projects to the next level. You benefit from quick, easy installation without roof penetration, wide compatibility with a wide range of folding profiles and flexibly adjustable modules. Both variants — TPF with carrier profile and TBK with short rail — offer you maximum ease of installation and allow you to choose what suits your project better. Thanks to high-quality, sustainable aluminum alloys and tested statics, you can rely on durability and safety‍.

Use easySEAM so that your PV system is quickly installed on the standing seam roof, securely fixed and successful in the long term — to the advantage of you and your customers. This makes installing photovoltaics on sheet metal roofs easier than ever!
