CONSISTENT. EFFECTIVE. Simple.

With the standing seam kit series COMPACTMETAL TM, the rail-less installation of PV modules is possible on practically all standing seam roof types. Standing Seam Clamps with the pre-mounted short rail are designed to direct mount the PV modules.

Our standing seam clamps are designed to be installed quickly and easily without damaging penetration of the interlocking roof, and still withstand immense pressure and suction loads caused by wind and snow.

Penetration-free assembly
Form-fitting connection

Direct clamping

The installation of modules in landscape mode (landscape format) is easily possible with the help of direct mounting on the clamps. This variant can be planned in AEROTOOL.

Clamping on carrier profile

The installation of modules in portrait mode (portrait format) is easily possible using the X40 ⁄ X50 mounting rail from the COMPACTPITCH modular system. The rail is attached directly to the standing seam clamp using the XPN multi connector provided for this purpose.

CLE10/CLM10 module clamps

The PV modules are held in place using the universal click clamp with integrated grounding pins. The multi-system clamp is height-adjustable between 30 - 46 mm and can be conveniently clicked into place. The end clamp has a length of 60 mm. The clamps are also available in black.

EL05 HEIGHT ADAPTER

The height adapter increases the distance between module frame and trapezoidal sheet metal from 18 mm to 50 mm. Recommended for installations in locations with year-round sunny or hot climates, where the improved ventilation (cooling of the modules) can be expected to significantly increase yields.

Mounting rails X40 and X50

The aluminum profile rail is the central construction element, which offers a high static load capacity due to its optimized shape. The X40 and X50 mounting rails are also available in black.

CLP-U UNIVERSAL CABLE CLIP

The universal cable clip makes it easy to attach cables. It can be attached either to the module frame or to the rails.

WCL8-10 wire clamp

The wire clamp ensures a secure, stable connection and high conductivity for integrating the system into the lightning protection system. They offer flexible application options and ensure long-term reliability and corrosion resistance.

SCR-GA FASTENING SET

The SCR-GA screw connection enables the attachment of any accessories to all AEROCOMPACT rail types.

OPTIMIZER CLAMP

Our new optimizer clamp is an innovative new development that focuses on the essentials: easy handling, quick installation and maximum compatibility with all AEROCOMPACT systems.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About COMPACTMETAL TM

What is COMPACTMETAL TM, the standing seam clamping system, designed for?

For penetration-free PV installation on virtually all types of standing-seam metal roofs. The clamps engage the seam with a form-fit—no opening is created in the roof membrane, and thus no new sealing point is required. Suitable for double standing seam, round seam, and sliding seam roofs; modules can be mounted in both landscape and portrait orientation. CE-marked, with a product warranty.

What module orientations are possible with COMPACTMETAL TM?

Both. In landscape orientation, the modules are clamped directly onto the standing seam clamps, without a second rail level. For portrait orientation, X40 or X50 rails are added as support profiles. The choice depends on the desired module orientation, seam spacing, and module dimensions.

How does the portrait-orientation version work?

About the COMPACTPITCH modular system. The X40 and X50 rails are attached directly to the standing seam clamps using the XPN cross connector bracket and then support the modules in portrait orientation. Thus, the portrait-orientation variant utilizes rails and connector brackets from the COMPACTPITCH modular system.

What types of profiles do the clamps accommodate?

TMDS08 is designed for handcrafted double standing seam roofs, TMM08 for angled standing seam and snap-seam profiles, and TMR08 for rounded seam roofs. For sliding seam roof systems, the two-piece clamps TMRD08, TMK1508, and TMK2008 are available in various sizes. The existing seam profile is always the determining factor, not just the roof designation. If the profile assignment is unclear, a photo of the seam in cross-section can be submitted via the official inquiry form for technical clarification.

Will a clamped fastener hold up over time—even during storms and under snow loads?

Yes. COMPACTMETAL TM is designed to withstand high snow and wind loads and secures the modules to the seam without penetration. Depending on the clamp type, convex and concave preformed fastening screws create an optimal form-fit with the respective seam profile. With direct clamping, the clamp supports the module directly.

What documents do I need for selecting and installing COMPACTMETAL TM?

Use the leaflet for preselection, the intake form for project preparation, and the COMPACTMETAL TM assembly instructions for installation. The available language versions can be found in the download section. For technical clarification, please submit a photo of the seam profile, roof dimensions, and module type via the official inquiry form.

Are there any reference projects for COMPACTMETAL TM?

Yes. A COMPACTMETAL-TM reference project with a capacity of 743 kWp has been documented for the Washington Tennis & Education Foundation in Washington, D.C.

What do you need so we can design the right TM solution for you?

For selection and project-specific design, we require a photo of the seam profile in cross-section, the roof dimensions including the seam spacing, as well as the module type and desired orientation. This information can be submitted via the official inquiry form, by email to office@aerocompact.com, or by phone at +43 5524 22 566.
