Auto-fill options will avoid obstructions and place as many panels as possible within the chosen mm margin. 

Choosing mounting system

Once the roof has panels on it, you can choose from the available mounting options on the right. The mounting options displayed will be compatible with the roof and panel orientation and size.

When selected Easy PV will specify the necessary mounting components. Depending on the mounting system, you may also have additional options to configure the specified components (rail colour, preferred hook, bird blocker etc.).

This mounting kit list does not take into account structural considerations. Adjustments needed to the number of hooks are calculated in the structural task (UK only) or otherwise. 

If the mounting option you want to use is not available, select no mounting. For flat roofs, you will have additional options to configure the panel layout, including east-west options.
