Schletter is recognised worldwide for robust, innovative, and easy-to-install solar mounting solutions. With the ProLine series, they have taken this expertise to the next level, offering systems that are stronger, faster, and more versatile for both residential and commercial rooftop applications.

Why Schletter, Why ProLine?

Schletter: A Trusted Name in Mounting

Schletter is a globally respected manufacturer of solar mounting systems, known for engineering excellence, rigorous testing, and broad product breadth. Their systems are present in many major markets globally and have been present in South Africa since 2011, backed by a strong track record of reliability, certification, and continuous innovation.

By bringing Schletter into the fold, IBC SOLAR gains access to a high-performance family of mounting systems with globally proven credentials. It allows us to provide broader choice, better optimization for different roof types, and stronger support for ambitious installations.

ProLine: What Sets It Apart

While Schletter already offers a wide portfolio (Classic, flat roof systems, trackers, etc.), ProLine is their next-generation roof-mount solution for both residential and commercial/pitched roof applications. A few of its standout attributes:

• Less material, higher performance: Thanks to optimized geometries and design, ProLine achieves higher load-bearing capacity with less material.
• Simplicity in planning and logistics: The modular design reduces variants and simplifies stock-keeping.
• Fast, safer installation: Click-in features, preassembled components, and optimized connectors speed up on-roof work.
• Backward compatibility: Many ProLine components are compatible with Schletter Classic rails and hooks, facilitating a smoother transition.
• Universal clamps and rails: One set of module clamps suffices for a wide range of module frame heights (30–47 mm).
• Aesthetics & finishes: Available in natural aluminium and black anodized versions for better visual integration.
• Warranty and structural support: Comes with strong backing and static proofs.

In short: ProLine is designed to make mounting systems leaner, smarter, and faster.

What This Means for Customers & Installers

Benefits for Installers

• Reduced on-site time: Click-in parts and preassembled connectors mean fewer manual adjustments and less downtime.
• Simplified logistics: Fewer variants, more modular kits, and backward compatibility mean less stock and fewer errors.
• Better adaptability: The ability to adjust for different module sizes, roof pitches, and layouts with one core system reduces complexity on tricky projects.

Benefits for End Users / Owners

• Stronger structural confidence: Higher load capacities and robust design translate into better resilience – especially in regions with extreme weather.
• Long-term reliability: With top-tier manufacturing and warranty support, ProLine offers durability on par with established systems.
• Clean aesthetics: The option of black components or more seamless integrations improves the visual outcome.
• Future-proofing: As module formats change or retrofits occur, ProLine’s flexibility helps accommodate evolving needs.

Sample Use Cases & Technical Highlights

• Rail-less IBR roof mounting: There are ProLine rail-less kits for IBR metal roofs using ClampFit Pro anchors, good for cost-efficient, neat installations.
• Roof hooks: The ProLine hooks are height-adjustable (up to ~30 mm), and use Torx T40 fastening, with click-in mounting and optimized geometry to reduce stress on tiles.
• Rails & spans: Module-bearing rails are offered in multiple lengths (e.g. 2450, 3550, 4750, 5900 mm) and in heights (35 mm, 50 mm, 70 mm) to suit different span and load requirements.
• Module clamps: One mid clamp and one end clamp type cover the typical 30–47 mm frame heights; rotate-able claw for both horizontal and vertical installations; integrated grounding pin.
• Accessory ecosystem: ProLine includes connectors (ProConnector), cross-connectors (RapidPro, RapidCon90), adapters, end caps, earthing components, etc.

Adding Schletter ProLine to IBC SOLAR’s mounting portfolio signals our commitment to staying at the technological forefront. ProLine is not just “another mount”, it's a refined, future-ready, installer-friendly system designed for better performance, smarter logistics, and more elegant installations.

We believe that this expansion will empower our partners to execute projects faster, more reliably, and with greater design freedom. Stay tuned for upcoming training sessions, launch promotions, and reference projects as we bring ProLine live across our regions.
