Let's face it - installing solar panels on tile roofs used to be like trying to play Jenga with your grandmother's fine china. Traditional mounting systems required drilling through clay or concrete tiles, potentially compromising waterproofing and warranty protections. Enter the FloatSola Tile Roof Solar Mounting Kit, the Lego-like solution that's making contractors do happy dances on rooftops.
Tile roofs account for 38% of residential rooftops in sun-drenched regions like California and Florida, yet until recently, they've been the problem child of solar installations. The FloatSola system addresses three critical pain points:
Imagine if your solar array floated above the roof like a hoverboard. The system uses:
When the Johnson family's clay tile roof reached 158°F last summer, their conventional solar mounts warped like licorice in the sun. After switching to FloatSola, their system maintained structural integrity while reducing roof surface temperature by 22°F through improved airflow.
2024 brought seismic shifts in renewable energy tech. The FloatSola kit aligns with three emerging trends:
Contractors are reporting fewer callbacks since adopting this system. "It's like the difference between carving a turkey with a chainsaw versus a laser-guided chef's knife," jokes veteran installer Marco Torres, who's completed 27 FloatSola installations this quarter alone.
While the upfront cost is 15% higher than traditional mounts, consider these savings:
Roof warranty preservation | $3,200 average value |
Labor time reduction | $850 per installation |
Energy production boost | +8% from optimal tilt angles |
With new UL 3703 standards requiring solar mounts to accommodate next-gen 500W panels, the FloatSola system's modular design positions it as the only tile-compatible solution ready for 2025's solar panel upgrades.
San Diego installer Sarah Chen shares her pro tips:
As solar adoption rates climb faster than a monkey in a banana tree, solutions like the FloatSola Tile Roof Solar Mounting Kit are removing the last barriers to clean energy adoption. Who knew the key to solar success was giving panels a little breathing room?

Norfolk Island experiences solar irradiation levels reaching approximately 4.81 kilowatt-hours per square metre per day on average over a year. The following graph shows solar irradiation/output levels per kilowatt of installed solar panels in the 2899 area per month.
Rooftop solar panels installed in Norfolk Island, should generally face North for the best results. For a good panel angle, the general rule of thumb is it should be around the same as latitude.
Based on a conservative average of 7,139 kWh of energy production a day (enough to power the equivalent of 446 homes) and retail electricity costs of 0c per kilowatt-hour; Norfolk Island and 2899 postcode area residents are collectively generating $0 of energy at retail prices a year!
In Norfolk Island's postcode area (2899), more than 555 small-scale systems have been installed with a collective capacity of 1,770 kW as at February 28, 2023. Given a population of 1,849, this works out to 957 watts per person in the area, compared to a 827 watts Australian average.
This initiative is comprised of several interrelated elements: Project Background In 2022, the Commonwealth Government provided a $5.25 million grant to Norfolk Island Regional Council to transition the island away from diesel-fired generation.
