Futureproof Solar Installations with Equus Soprema Soprasolar Pedestals

As the demand for sustainable design continues to rise, integrating solar energy into roofing systems is no longer seen as a luxury—but more of an expectation. The challenge?

Maintaining waterproofing integrity while installing solar panels on membrane roofs. The Equus Soprema Soprasolar system offers a seamless solution, combining watertight protection with efficient solar mounting.

 

Zero Penetration. Maximum Performance.

The Soprasolar pedestal system is purpose-built to support photovoltaic (PV) panels without penetrating the waterproofing membrane. Each pedestal comes pre-fitted with either SOPREMA bituminous or Flagon TPO membrane, allowing it to be heat-welded directly to the roof surface. This eliminates the need for mechanical fixings, greatly reducing the risk points and ensuring a secure, durable connection.

Smarter Solar Mounting for Bitumen and TPO Roofs

The Soprasolar Fix Evo Tilt system is compatible with both cold and warm roof configurations, and is ideal for new builds or retrofits on residential, commercial and public buildings. Key benefits include:

• No membrane perforation – fully sealed pedestal installation
• Wind tested up to 200 km/h – meets site-specific design pressures
• Height-adjustable studs – ensures level alignment across varying roof conditions
• Simple to install and maintain – with universal clamps and snap-on raisers
• 20-year system warranty – when installed with approved Equus Soprema systems

Designed for NZ Conditions

With site-specific wind uplift calculation, pedestal layouts and specification support available through our Equus Soprema technical team, the Soprasolar system is engineered to withstand New Zealand’s unique environmental challenges.

Whether you’re designing a sustainable large-scale commercial development, designing a new high-end home or upgrading an existing flat roof, the Soprasolar system provides a watertight, warrantied, and architecturally sound solar mounting solution.
