Product catalog summary
Overview: The HECO-TOPIX®-plus T Solar is a stainless steel fastener designed for mounting solar systems on roofs with over-rafter insulation. It addresses the challenge of mounting solar modules on wood constructions over insulating materials, which may not withstand compressive loads.
Specifications: The fastener features an innovative underhead thread that prevents compressive forces from affecting the insulating material, instead transferring them to the rafters. It is available in dimensions ranging from 8.0 x 40 mm to 8.0 x 360 mm, with specific design values for pressure bearing capacity, tensile strength, and shear capacity.
Design Values: The document provides detailed design values for pressure bearing capacity, tensile strength, and shear capacity for various screw dimensions. For example, the design value for tensile strength Rax,d ranges from 1.48 kN to 4.96 kN depending on the screw length.
Features: The HECO-TOPIX®-plus T Solar includes features such as a flange head for optimal fixing, a secondary thread for counter batten fixation, and the PerfectPitch® for optimal thread pitch. The HECO-TOPIX®-plus tip eliminates the need for pre-drilling and reduces the risk of wood splitting.
Applications: This fastener is suitable for all common insulating materials without compressive strength requirements. It is approved and monitored with CE-marking, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
Conclusion: The HECO-TOPIX®-plus T Solar provides an effective solution for mounting solar systems on insulated roofs, offering high load transmission and fast installation due to its design and material properties.

HECO-TOPIX®-plus T Solar in stainless steel – the ideal solution for mounting solar systems on over-rafter-insulated roofs. The mounting of a solar module on wood constructions on top of insulating materials requires innovative fixtures. Low-strength insulating materials cannot withstand compressive loads, such as the additional weight of solar systems, roof coverings or snow loads. Even if using pressure-proof insulating materials, it is necessary to offset the additional compressive load of the solar system, i.e., to transfer the load trough the counter batten and insulating material to the rafters. In this situation, the HECO-TOPIX®-plus T Solar in stainless steel with its innovative underhead thread is the ideal solution. The thread enables attachment by means of screws secured at defined intervals. The underhead thread of the HECO-TOPIX®-plus T Solar prevents the compressive forces from pressing on the insulating material, instead transmitting them via the screw into the rafters. Additional shear loads can be transmitted using partially threaded screws (angle of screw to roof pitch: 60°). The tried and tested HECO-TOPIX®-plus point also prevents any risk of the counter batten splitting.
