Choosing to install solar panels on corrugated roofing is a smart way to tap clean energy using the roof you’ve already got. But as many UK homeowners soon discover, mounting panels on those rippled sheets takes a bit more finesse than flat roof solar panel fittings.
That’s where Smartly Energy comes in. We specialise in installing solar panels on corrugated roofs with precision. Using the right corrugated roof solar mounts, panel clamping systems and PV panel clamps, we can ensure a neat, leak-resistant finish.
Corrugated roofing sheets are the classic wavy panels often seen on barns, garages and older homes across the UK. Made from materials like galvanised steel (or galvanised iron), fibre cement or plastic, these sheets are strong, lightweight, and cost-effective. The ridged surface and exposed fastening points on this roof type mean you’ll need the correct solar panel fixings for corrugated roofs to avoid damage and leaks.
That rippled pattern needs tailored PV panel clamps to sit flush. The correct panel clamping must also be chosen and installed by a professional like Smartly.
Drill a hole in the wrong spot and water will find a way in, you need sealants or gasketed fittings.
Corrugated roofing sheets need a minimum of around 10° to drain properly.
With the wrong fixings, performance drops and so does roof integrity. That’s why Smartly installs only tried-and-tested corrugated roof solar mounts.
1. Roof survey – check the material, condition, pitch and weight-bearing capacity.
2. Choose the correct solar panel mounting system:
3. Fix your corrugated roof solar mounts (often SUS‑304 stainless steel), using gasketed or EPDM‑sealed bolts for waterproofing
4. Clip your solar panels safely into place on your corrugated rooftop. This is done safely and procedurally.
5. Wire through to the inverter, commission the system, and carry out final checks to ensure everything works like clockwork.

Yes, with the right fixings. We use stainless steel clamp brackets or hanger bolts tailored to each sheet material and profile.
Not when installed properly. Our clamps and PV panel mounts include rubber or EPDM seals or water-tight washers to prevent leaks. That’s why it’s so important to hire an experienced professional.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Rail systems give more flexibility and easy maintenance, while rail-less brackets offer a neat, low-profile look.
Corrugated roofing is tough, but we always inspect the rafter structure too. Most corrugated roofs easily cope with PV panels but we’ll confirm it’s all sound.
Not when installed correctly by a solar specialist. With the right solar panel fixings for corrugated roofs, there’s no need to drill excessive holes or compromise your roofing sheets.
