Anchor-free mounting system

Good news: our mounting system can now often be installed completely anchor-free. No more hassle with drilling into vulnerable roofing or doubts about load-bearing capacity.

RABLE supplies to installers, property owners and wholesalers.

Winner Best Innovation Award 2024

Our anchor-free system keeps weak points out of harm's way

The best part? With a span of up to 25 meters, our system rests directly on the roof's beams. This way, the weaker spots literally remain out of harm's way.

Less work, less risk, and more certainty. (And no, you don't have to be a mathematician to install it)

The main advantages:

No ballast or roof anchors required -> suitable for any flat roof

Fast installation = more projects completed = higher revenue.

The RABLE system complies with all certifications for corrosion resistance and NEN 1010.

We previously supplied to the following companies:

Solar panels on Haan gas station

Project Huizingalaan Eindhoven

An example from practice

Although traditional solar panels are often too heavy for the canopies of petrol stations, our system does offer possibilities. This is evident from the successful project on the Huizingalaan in Eindhoven.

Information about this project:

From application to working installation within 1,5 months

80 solar panels placed on the canopy

Only 2 installers required, substructure built in 2,5 hours

Satisfied owner: the second station will follow in May!

Recently, in collaboration with Rable and Tenten Solar, we were able to realize a beautiful project in Dokkum. Collaboration and communication were good, resulting in a beautiful system.
Sustainable Techniques Panels, Energreen Ter Apelkanaal is very pleased with the first Pilot that we installed together with Rable.
Rable provided excellent support and expertise, with clear communication at all times.
We are very satisfied with the service, the product and the possibilities that substructure makes possible.

As Saman Group (Zierikzee) we have had good contacts with Rable from the start. The colleagues are happy to talk to you and the request is taken seriously. They think along and take the initiative to approach constructors themselves if there are any ambiguities. In the meantime, we have been able to provide various weak roofs with the new innovative system from Rable. Rable is open to new ideas and feedback from the installer. We wish you much success and look forward to further expanding our collaboration. Team Saman Group - Zierikzee

We recently completed a project with RABLE. We are very pleased with both the RABLE system and the service of the RABLE team.
RABLE is a great partner to work with. Beautiful, innovative product that makes a solution possible in complex situations.

As Qilowatt Solutions we are very satisfied with Rable. Thanks to their smart substructures for solar panels, ideal for roofs where no ballast is possible, we were able to easily place 356 panels on the Pathmoshal. The Rable systems are not only of high quality, but also super fast to install. This has exceeded our expectations and helped us enormously. We look forward to further cooperation and definitely recommend Rable!
We have successfully delivered a first project. Very good support (both literally and figuratively), both technically and commercially. Rable thinks in solutions and wants to deliver custom work. We will certainly recommend this as a company to our customers, in case traditional ballast is not possible.

An attractive and flexible system that offers the possibility of installing solar panels without making adjustments to the electrical installation.

We have applied the Rable system in our office of Royal CBM in combination with the panels of Solarge and a special insulating layer that provides extra cooling and yield of the solar panels. Rable keeps its word and has guided the process well.

In collaboration with Rable, we were able to provide a weak roof with solar panels thanks to the unique system. Thanks in part to the smooth collaboration and communication, we were able to bring our first assignment together to success. We look forward to everything the future holds for our collaboration.

We have successfully completed a solar panel project in Amsterdam with RABLE. Their innovative approach, effective solutions for installations on roofs with insufficient load-bearing capacity for a standard installation, and excellent personal support have helped us enormously. The speed of their responses and the quality of the service were very good. We look forward to more joint projects to further accelerate the energy transition! Diaz - DLE.energy

Frequently asked questions from installers

For which roofs is the RABLE system suitable?

The RABLE system is suitable for all flat roofs. For weak roofs it is a unique solution because it is a self-supporting system that distributes the weight evenly over the trusses and/or beams of a roof. The system carries its own weight and that of the panels. It can therefore be applied directly to weak roofs, without structural renovation (and investments) to buildings with limitations in the roof construction. Ballast is also not necessary.  

Our mounting system weighs 3 kg/m². The total load including standard panels (approx. 10-12 kg/m²) is a maximum of 13 kg/m². With lightweight panels the maximum load is approx. 7 kg/m². 

Is RABLE suitable for roofs with limited load-bearing capacity?

Yes! What makes RABLE unique is that it is a self-supporting mounting system. The system carries both its own weight and that of the panels. This makes it directly applicable to roofs with limited load-bearing capacity, without the need for structural renovations or investments in the roof structure. In addition, no ballast is required. 

How is the system attached to the roof?

Our RABLE mounting system uses roof anchors that are applied to the ends of the structure to effectively control uplift forces. This system requires up to 80% fewer roof anchors compared to traditional systems, which offers a cost-effective solution. For each project, we determine the number of roof anchors required taking into account factors such as building height and wind zone. This ensures a safe installation with minimal roof loading and lower installation costs.

Does it work with any type of solar panel?

RABLE is suitable for all types of solar panels, regardless of weight or size. We use industry standard mounting clamps and also take into account the different dimensions that panels can have. 

Are there installers who use RABLE systems?

Various installers throughout the Netherlands, both small and large, are active with RABLE. Do you also want to become familiar with the RABLE system? Simplicity becomes one of our partners by to schedule an appointment with our sales. Looking for an installer who can design your project with RABLE? Click here to get in touch with our team.

How does RABLE help me in project preparation?

Every installation situation is unique and our team is ready to answer specific questions and provide support throughout the planning and installation process. We advise customers to share their project details with us for a personalized installation and anchoring plan and a detailed quote. RABLE has a good relationship with the roofing contractors and can quickly switch on the application of a solar installation with RABLE. Need help? Contact us.

What certificates are there?

RABLE system has the required certificates regarding corrosion requirements and NEN 1010. Laying plans are supplied in accordance with the requirements of NEN 7250, based on, among other things, the Eurocodes for snow and wind loads. We also have a wind tunnel certification that you can find under ''downloads'' on our website.

Do RABLE tension cables cause energy loss?

The steel cables cause a limited shadow cast, which results in a yield loss < 3%. Good to know that the RABLE has a walkway every 4 panels (instead of every 2 panels with a traditional mounting system). This more than compensates for the small amount of energy loss of the steel cable. 

Which types of roofs are suitable for our system?

Our system is suitable for flat roofs with a slope of up to 10 degrees and works on all types of roofing such as EPDM, PVC and Bitumen, and on steel and concrete roof panels.
