Different types of roof and solar
installation methods
Different types of roofs require different types of installation methods. In 9 Helios, we provide customized solar design based on your roof profiles and requirements.
Clay-Tiled roof
Clay-tiled roofs were commonly used in construction during the early days due to its high durability and suitability for Singapore’s climate. Here is how we install solar panels on clay-tiled roofs:
- Install roof brackets underneath the clay tiles
- Re-install clay tiles back on the intended location after roof bracket installation
- Join aluminum rails and secure at the roof brackets
- Install solar panels and secure on the aluminum rails
Metal roof
Metal roofs are preferred in construction these days due to their lightweight, durable and resistance to rust and corrosion. Installing solar panels on metal roofs are easy with our customized solar roof bracket. Here is how we install solar panel on metal roofs
- Install roof brackets at the metal roof seams by clipping without penetration to the metal roof
- Join aluminium rails and secure at the roof brackets
- Install solar panels and secure on the aluminum rails
Concrete flat roof
Concrete roofs are popular in recent days due to their resistance to humidity and tropical weather. Installing solar panels on concrete roofs can be nice and aesthetic with our customized solar roof bracket. Here is how we install solar panel on concrete roofs
- Build an elevated structure with 10 degree inclination
- Secure the structure with non-penetration method by placing concrete blocks as counter weight
- Install solar panels and secure on the aluminum rails

FAQ
Solar PV systems are common in the market but what makes it a right time to invest in one now?
There are many compiling reasons why now is a perfect time to invest in solar. Most importantly, the decreasing costs of solar panels coupled with increased efficiency, means with the same budget now, you can generate more power with fewer solar panels, less space. If you were to get solar panels 10 years ago with the same budget, you would get a system with far less production.
Is solar power a viable option for landed houses in Singapore?
Yes, solar power is technically and economically viable for landed houses in Singapore. Making full use of your roof to generate solar power is an obvious solution in sunny island, Singapore because of its consistent sunlight without seasonal variations.
How much does solar installation cost?
Solar installation for a landed house typically costs around $20,000. There is no one-type-fit-all solar solution, if you are interested in finding out more, please speak to us to get an accurate cost estimate.
How long does it take to install a solar PV system?
We work when the sun is out. A typical solar installation takes 1 week to complete. Of course, the duration is dependent on weather, project complexity and scale of the solar system.
What are the components of a solar PV system?
A solar PV system consists of solar panels, solar inverter and balance, mounting structure, cables and accessories to complete the system.
