AEROCOMPACT PV mounting systems cover four main applications: flat roofs, pitched roofs, ground-mounted PV installations, and facades. Five product families are available: COMPACTFLAT for flat roofs, COMPACTPITCH for pitched roofs, COMPACTMETAL for metal roofing on flat and pitched roofs, COMPACTGROUND for ground-mounted PV installations, and COMPACTWALL for facades. System selection always starts with the application. Within each category, the appropriate solution depends on the surface, roof structure, and site-specific loads.

AEROCOMPACT PV mounting systems feature a compact, aerodynamic design. The shape and construction of the supporting components are designed to achieve an optimal balance between load-bearing capacity and low system weight. For COMPACTFLAT systems, information on wind tunnel testing and CE marking is provided on the respective product pages.

The bracket design compensates for minor surface irregularities while keeping the contact points clear, helping to prevent water from accumulating underneath the system. This combines a level system installation with unobstructed water drainage. The appropriate configuration for each roof or surface structure is determined on a project-specific basis.

There are three steps. First, determine the application — flat roof, pitched roof, ground-mounted installation, or facade — to identify the appropriate product category. Second, narrow down the options based on the surface or roof covering, roof structure, module format, and planned module layout. Third, consider site-specific wind and snow loads, which determine the required number of fixing points or amount of ballast. AEROTOOL handles the calculations in step three. For steps one and two, the product matrix on each category page helps you select the right system. If further clarification is needed, our technical support team can assist you.

AEROTOOL is ideal when a PV project needs to be designed in a 3D model and used to generate a CAD plan, project report, and bill of materials. It supports PV planning for flat roofs, pitched roofs, facades, and ground-mounted installations. For simplified pitched-roof planning, AERO.GO is also available. Based on just a few roof parameters, the app generates structural calculations, an installation plan, and material requirements.

Yes. AEROTOOL generates a complete bill of materials for the planned PV project, including the required system components. This allows material requirements to be derived directly from the system design and used for quotations, ordering, and installation preparation.

Both. AEROTOOL is available for digital PV system planning, while our team provides personal support with system selection and project-specific technical questions. We also offer webinars, AEROTOOL training sessions, and direct support from our PV training specialists.
