Product Overview

Nova TRIPOD

The Nova TRIPOD flat roof solar panel mount provides a highly versatile tripod-style mounting platform for residential and commercial flat roof installations. Constructed from AL6005-T5 anodized aluminum, this flat roof solar racking system supports four distinct deployment configurations — standalone, matrix, single-sided, and double-sided — enabling customized solar array designs that maximize energy yield for any flat or low-slope roof layout.

Engineered to withstand design wind speeds of 45 m/s, the Nova TRIPOD is certified to JIS C 8955:2017, AS/NZS 1170, DIN1055, and ASCE/SEI 7-05. The flat roof mounting system for solar panels supports both landscape and portrait panel orientations with an adjustable tilt range of 0-45 degrees — the widest range among Megawa flat roof products. Concrete block ballast provides non-penetrating anchoring that preserves roof membrane integrity. Megawa Solar provides a 12-year product warranty with a 25-30 year design life.

The system's highly pre-assembled structure reduces on-site installation time dramatically. Tripod legs, cross beams, and panel clamps arrive factory-assembled, minimizing field labor and technical expertise requirements. Rail-less landscape, rail-less east-west, and rail-based east-west portrait configurations give installers maximum flexibility to adapt to roof geometry and energy production targets. For EPC contractors managing flat roof solar racking projects, the Nova TRIPOD delivers the most configurable flat roof solar panel mount in the Megawa product line with proven deployments across Germany, Korea, and Asia-Pacific markets.

Why Choose Nova TRIPOD

Key Advantages

4 Deployment Configurations

Supports standalone, matrix, single-sided, and double-sided mounting layouts. Rail-less landscape, rail-less E-W, and rail-based E-W portrait options adapt to any flat roof geometry and energy production target.

0-45° Widest Tilt Range

Adjustable tilt from 0 to 45 degrees — the widest range among Megawa flat roof products. Optimize energy yield for any latitude or seasonal requirement without system modifications.

Highly Pre-Assembled

Factory pre-assembled tripod legs, cross beams, and panel clamps reduce on-site setup time dramatically. Minimal technical expertise required for fast, efficient deployment.

100% AL6005-T5 Aluminum

Lightweight all-aluminum construction minimizes roof structural loading while delivering superior corrosion resistance. Easy handling and transportation reduce labor costs on rooftop installations.

45 m/s Wind Resistance

Concrete block ballast anchoring verified to JIS C 8955:2017, AS/NZS 1170, DIN1055, and ASCE/SEI 7-05. Non-penetrating design preserves roof warranty and eliminates water intrusion risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Nova TRIPOD supports four configurations: standalone (individual units), matrix (connected grid arrays), single-sided (south-facing rows), and double-sided (east-west facing). Additionally, three layout options — rail-less landscape, rail-less east-west, and rail-based east-west portrait — provide maximum flexibility for any flat roof geometry.
Yes. The lightweight all-aluminum construction is suitable for residential flat roofs where structural load capacity is limited, while the matrix and double-sided configurations scale efficiently for large commercial rooftop arrays. The non-penetrating ballast design preserves roof warranties on both residential and commercial membrane roofs.
The Nova TRIPOD offers the widest tilt range among Megawa flat roof products — 0 to 45 degrees. This accommodates installations from near-equatorial locations (low tilt) to high-latitude sites (high tilt), and enables seasonal tilt adjustment for maximum annual energy yield. The Matrix ECO offers 5-30° and the Matrix ELITE offers a fixed 10° for comparison.
Yes. The Nova TRIPOD uses concrete block ballast to anchor the array without any roof penetrations. The tripod structure distributes loads evenly across the roof surface, preserving membrane integrity and existing roof warranties. Project-specific ballast calculations ensure adequate weight for local wind conditions up to 45 m/s.
The Nova TRIPOD is rated for design wind speeds of 45 m/s and certified to JIS C 8955:2017, AS/NZS 1170, DIN1055, and ASCE/SEI 7-05. Project-specific structural calculations including ballast requirements are available for every installation to ensure compliance with local building codes.
