S-5!’s zero-penetration clamps are designed to securely attach various roofing accessories to standing seam metal roofs without penetrating the roof panel. 

It’s no secret that metal roofs and solar panels go great together. The durability of metal and the sustainability of solar panels create a nearly unstoppable roof. Thankfully, S-5! offers a variety of zero-penetration clamps for you to attach solar and other accessories to a standing seam roof without damaging the integrity of the metal. 

All of S-5!’s clamps are specially designed to last the life of the roof, and then some, for any metal roof. They are all made of metallurgical-compatible and non-corrosive materials, plus they are equipped with Torx setscrews for easy installation. S-5! clamps are designed to fit specific roof profiles that make attaching clamps to the metal seams or ribs easy while maximizing performance and minimizing cost. 

S-5!’s zero-penetration clamps are unlike others on the market, and not just because they don’t penetrate the metal. Each of their clamps are extensively tested to ensure they can withstand the service loads of whatever the rooftop accessory may be. S-5! clamps have been tested on thousands of roof gauges and profiles, so you can ensure they are right for any roofing job. Plus, they are warranted for the life of the roof, a great selling point for your customers. 

While using S-5! clamps to attach solar panels is one example, they can also be used to secure snow guards, light fixtures, HVAC, signs and more. On their website, S-5! has a handy project configuration tool for you to determine which of their 50+ clamps or brackets you should use for your next metal roofing job. You’re sure to find a solution that’s just right for your application!
