C-rail for PV

A closer look at our C-rails

You can tell immediately from its shape where our C-rail gets its name from. However, the advantages of our aluminium all-rounder for mounting PV systems on sloping roofs often only become clear during installation. We have summarised the most important ones here.

The all-rounder for sloping roofs

The novotegra C-rail is multifunctional: it can be used as a module-bearing rail for clamp systems and as a cross rail for a two-layer structure. This also makes insertion systems easy to implement.

What's more, the open rail can be used as a cable channel: both cables and plugs can be routed inside the rail, keeping all cables neat and safe.

Cross-system component

As an all-rounder in the novotegra portfolio, the C-rail can be used across multiple systems. In numerous top-fix sloping roof systems, it serves as a connecting component between the roof and module fastening. The type of roofing is almost irrelevant: tile and beaver tail roofing are just as possible as shingle and slate roofs, corrugated or  sheet metal roofs.

This cross-system approach saves on procurement costs and storage space. The connection component between the roof and module mounting.

A wide range of variants for every need

The C-rail is available in different lengths and strengths. This means that different spans can be built and loads transferred in accordance with the static requirements.

If the rails are too short, the C47 can be easily extended using an internal or external rail connector.

And to ensure that the visual appearance is not ignored, it is possible to choose the rails in a colour to match the other components. Some variants of the C-rail are optionally available in bare aluminium or black anodised.

Practical stability

Our C-rails can bear a lot. This not only benefits the statics of the installed PV system. From the C-47 variants upwards, the profile rails are approved for access by the installer during installation.

A real help to be able to stand and install comfortably on steep pitched roofs!

C-rail in green roof system

The C-rail is not only used for sloped-roof mounting, it also bridges the gap to the flat-roof sector. In the green roof system, the C-rail functions as a module-bearing rail, placed on the module supports.


The C-rail is a perfect example of the cross-system approach of the novotegra portfolio. It shows how flexibly and easily the components fit into different systems.
