40x40 aluminium rail for solar panels, designed for overlay mounting on roofs or for installation on ground structures. This aluminium profile offers excellent mechanical resistance and ensures that your photovoltaic modules are installed safely and durably. Slight traces of the manufacturing process may be present, but this does not affect the quality of the product.
Choice of length: simply select the quantity you require. - 1 unit = a 1.19 m rail - 2 units = a 2.38 m rail. Each quantity corresponds to a single rail, adjusted according to your selection.
Maximum transport length: 2.40 m.
The 40x40 mm aluminium rail is an essential element for mounting solar panels, whether on a roof or on a ground structure. Designed to offer optimum mechanical strength, this profile ensures a solid, durable installation that meets the requirements of modern photovoltaic systems.
Made from high-quality extruded aluminium, it combines strength and lightness, making it easy to handle and quick to install. The material is naturally corrosion-resistant, ensuring a long service life even in exposed outdoor environments.

We ship rails up to 2.40 m long to meet transport constraints. Beyond this length, several rails can be assembled using joints, guaranteeing perfect mechanical continuity.
Corresponding quantities :
- 1 unit = 1.19 m of rail
- 2 units = 2.38 m of rail
Each unit corresponds to a single, precision-cut rail.
Maximum shipping length: 2.40 m
The rails are installed in several stages: fixing the hooks, levelling, laying the rails, joining them if necessary, then finally tightening the solar panels. To help you, here's an explanatory video:
Are these rails compatible with all solar panels?
Yes, the 40x40 mm profile is compatible with most standard photovoltaic modules on the market.
Can I connect several rails together?
Yes, simply use the special connectors to obtain the maximum length for your installation.
Is the rail weatherproof?
Absolutely. Anodised aluminium is exceptionally resistant to corrosion, rain, snow and UV rays.
Are these rails suitable for self-consumption installations?
Yes, they are ideal for domestic, commercial and professional photovoltaic installations.
Aluminium rail 40x40 for mounting solar panels (1m) by Wattuneed is available in our Mounting systems catalog. Product weight: 1.3 kg. Reference: 0200.
