S-5!, a manufacturer of< metal roof attachments, introduces its new clamp for solar carport applications, extending its proven solar attachment technology to canopy and carport structures.

The S-5-CP clamp (“CP” for carport) is engineered to fit both Cee and Zee purlin-framed structures, delivering a secure, non-penetrating attachment for solar applications. Its design offers faster installation, superior strength and long-term reliability, while protecting against corrosion by eliminating the need for drilled holes.

“Carport solar is one of the fastest-growing segments in attachment technology,” said Rob Haddock, S-5! CEO and founder. “The S-5-CP clamp enables engineers and installers to design stronger, simpler and more cost-effective solar carport systems using trusted S-5! technology.”

The clamp pairs seamlessly with S-5!’s PVKIT solar mounting solution for a rail-less solar panel installation, minimizing parts and labor costs. With a bottom-oriented setscrew, installation can be performed from beneath the canopy—simplifying labor, improving access for wiring and maintenance and allowing on-the-fly adjustments.

Coupled with an EPDM gasket (sold separately), the S-5! carport system delivers water-resistant performance between modules, reducing the risk of leaks and protecting your property from nuisance water intrusion. Unlike proprietary, full-system carport packages that often come with premium pricing, the S-5-CP clamp gives engineers and contractors the flexibility to design their own systems and select their preferred purlins and spacings, reducing costs without sacrificing performance.

S-5! attachments are engineered for strength, speed and longevity to support solar installations on carports and overhead canopies with water-resistant connections and exceptional resistance to wind uplift and downslope forces—all backed by decades of engineering expertise and field performance.
