Commercial solar mounting systems
No two sites are the same.
So why would the mounting system be?
We design and deliver commercial solar mounting systems that work with your land, not against it. Flat, sloping, rocky or restricted. If it’s buildable, we’ll engineer a solution that performs.
Every system is made in Britain, giving you consistent quality, reliable supply and fewer delays on site.
How we help
We start with the ground
Before steel meets soil, we assess your site, constraints and build plan. No guesswork. No surprises.
We design for performance
We engineer layouts that reduce shading, improve energy output and stay structurally sound over the long term. Every detail has a job to do.
We build for longevity
Proven materials, tested designs, 25-year guarantee. Built to last decades, not just pass inspection.
We manufacture in Britain
Made in Britain means better control, shorter lead times and a smoother project.
Solar mounting systems for every site.
Different ground. Different answer.
That’s why we offer a full range of foundation types:
P-Type
Fast, scalable installs for clear ground
S-Type
Screw-mounted systems for soft, rocky or made-up terrain
A-Type
Shallow embedment for constrained or sensitive sites
M-Type
Direct fixing or modular flexibility for phased or complex projects
B-Type
Ballast-mounted systems for brownfield or contamination-prone land
G-Type
Ground screw systems for rapid installs with minimal disturbance
The result
A solar mounting system that performs as designed, right from day one. What this means for you:
- Your system fits the site and meets requirements
- Built to last with proven materials and engineering
- Manufactured in Britain for consistent supply and fewer delays
- Designed to deliver reliable energy output over time
Why this matters
Ground-mounted projects fail when assumptions are made early.
We don’t assume.
Every system starts with surveys, testing and planning. We check soil conditions, identify underground risks and map layouts accurately.
Frequently asked questions
Solar mounting systems are the structures used to securely fix solar panels to roofs or the ground. They ensure panels are positioned at the optimal angle and orientation to maximise energy generation while maintaining structural safety and durability.
There are several types of solar mounting systems, including roof-mounted, ground-mounted, and carport structures. Alt Group’s in-house ground mount solutions include:
– P-Type: Rapid, scalable installation for clear-ground sites
– S-Type: Screw-mounted solutions, suitable for soft, rocky or made-up terrain
– A-Type: A shallow embedment design, best suited to constrained or sensitive sites
– M-Type: Direct fixing or modular flexibility design for more complex sites
– B-Type: Ballast-mounted systems for brownfield or contamination-prone land
– G-Type: Ground screw systems for fast installation and minimal disturbance
Each system is designed to suit different site conditions, ground types, project requirements and installation methods. Factors such as terrain, geotechnical conditions, module configuration, environmental considerations and project economics will influence the most suitable solution.
Our engineering team can help assess your project requirements and recommend the optimum mounting system for long-term performance, durability and value.
Solar mounting systems are critical for ensuring panel safety, durability, and efficiency. Our engineered systems are designed to withstand UK weather conditions while optimising panel angles and performance for maximum energy generation.
Choosing the right system depends on factors such as roof type, load capacity, site layout, and exposure to wind. A detailed site survey helps determine the most suitable and cost-effective mounting solution for long-term performance and safety. Reach out to our expert team to discuss your requirements.
Solar mounting systems are designed to provide reliable structural support throughout the operational life of a solar project, often 30 years or more. Manufactured from durable, corrosion-resistant materials and engineered to withstand environmental loads, high-quality systems require minimal maintenance while delivering long-term performance.
High-quality mounting systems are designed to withstand harsh UK weather, including strong winds and heavy rain. They are typically made from corrosion-resistant materials like aluminium or stainless steel, ensuring long-term reliability with minimal maintenance.
With our solutions, structural design, material selection and site-specific engineering ensure long-term durability and reliability.
We also support systems near coasts which have particular requirements against the weather. Speak to one of our experts for more information.
