hello im looking for some advice i am in the process of gaining my mcs and puuting solar on my house im having to layout panels in landscape and read various posts about not fixing down on short sides so decided on vertical rail system and have been supplied lock solar kit i can see how roof hook goes under tile but i cant see how you clamp vetical rail to roof hook. they state can be used vertically or horizontally. so just wondered if anyone else can help. system will be 16 panels in 4 rows of 4. also im using noble panels and cant find there details in sunny design to find best array pattern.
regards kevin
 
depends on panel manufacture whether you fix on short side some allow some dont.
Not sure on lock solar. Is that the newy's rail kit
 
im not sure if thats what newys sell it looks ok just dont think it can do what i want and the muppets whos supplied me said it would.
 
We have Renusol in stock that you can "cross rail" to allow running rails vertically. Alternatively we have a type of Schuco anchor that is twisted through 90 degrees to allow the rails to run this way, but where you can run the rail is then limited by the rafter position. A third option would be to attach L brackets to a standard anchor to give you a fixing plate in the correct position.
