Tesserack Z Shingled Rooftop solar Mounting
Everything you need to install solar panels on a shingled roof. (well, almost)
The only difference between the “Z” for metal and “Z” for shingles is the bottom water seal. The smooth surface of a corrugated metal roof allows us to use neoprene washers. The rougher composite shingle surface requires the use of a thicker, butyl rubber seal.
If you are required to lag to rafters, we offer a pre-assembled “splice” plate. You can also get an optional skirt.
No Assembly Required
UL 2703 certified Tesserack Z is factory assembled and ready to install!
- Less on-site labor. Installers report about 50% module installation time reduction on their FIRST install.
- No lost parts. Inventory is much simpler with minimum parts count. The washers are even pre-installed on the bolts.
- More kW per truck roll. No rails, no separate boxes of parts means that the hardware is space efficient. It's lighter than metal too!
No Design Tool Needed
Layout is simple. Space the mounts up-down slope according to module dimensions and across slope to match the module mounting points. All you need are the mounts and self-drilling screws to attach to the roof.
- Mount anywhere within the module manufacturer's mounting zone, either landscape or portrait.
- Simple BOM. The number of modules determines the number of mounts and fasteners. That's it.
- No end clamps or mid clamps, they are all the same.
Single Tool Installation
Mounts attach to the roof using a standard power driver. The rest is literally a snap.
- Standard lag screws with integrated neoprene washers.
- Lower flange of module slides into mounting clip.
- Everything locks in place with a simple push.

Save time and money with every installation
Tesserack Z mounts can save up to 50% on install time, making us the fastest on the market. The simple design makes training quick, so your team can be on the roof and moving fast with minimal lost time.
Butyl Rubber Reliability
Many mounting systems now use aluminum flashings for weather proofing. They also recommend that you caulk the screw hole to provide redundant weather proofing. The advantage is that you can mount with one lag screw. The disadvantage is that you have to lift shingles to insert the flashing, and that takes time and effort. Tesserack Z mounts with two screws, providing a stable base for the butyl rubber seal on the bottom of the mount. Our butyl seal material, like the Tesserack mounts, is UL certified for outdoor applications and proven to retain its properties for over 20 years.
We've been testing and evaluating seals for performance and have seen no signs of leakage or degradation in over 6 months.
