The Only Solar Mounting Solution Designed Specifically for
Hy-Grade Steel Roofing Systems
Solar Power.
Engineered for Hy-Grade Steel Roofing Systems.
A Canadian-engineered mounting system that allows solar panels to be installed directly onto your Hy-Grade roof without altering the roofing profile.
Unlike generic solar mounting systems, this bracket was engineered around the profile of the Hy-Grade steel shake system.
Why This System Is Different
Purpose Built
Most solar mounting solutions are designed to work across a wide variety of roof types. This bracket takes a different approach. Developed specifically for the unique profile of the Hy-Grade Steel Roofing system, it creates a seamless connection between roof and solar installation. The result is a mounting solution that feels like part of the roofing system itself, delivering a cleaner, more integrated finished product for homeowners.
Custom Fit Design
Rather than forcing a generic mounting system onto a specialized steel roof, this bracket is custom-shaped to match the contours of the Hy-Grade steel shake profile. By working with the roof’s design instead of against it, the system maintains the distinctive appearance homeowners choose Hy-Grade for while providing an ideal foundation for solar panel installation.
Secure Attachment System
A solar installation is only as reliable as the mounting system behind it. The Bluewater Energy bracket provides a secure attachment point specifically engineered for the Hy-Grade roof profile, creating a stable platform for solar panels while preserving the integrity and appearance of the roofing system. Homeowners gain confidence knowing their roofing and solar systems were designed to work together from day one.
Canadian Engineered
Created by Canadian companies for Canadian homeowners, this mounting solution reflects local engineering expertise and an understanding of our climate, construction practices, and performance expectations. By combining Hy-Grade’s premium steel roofing technology with Bluewater Energy’s solar experience, homeowners benefit from a solution developed close to home and backed by businesses committed to long-term quality and service.
One Investment. Two Long-Term Advantages.
A premium steel roof and a solar energy system complement each other perfectly.
Long-lasting steel roofing system
A solar system is a long-term investment, so it makes sense to pair it with a roof designed for decades of performance. Unlike traditional shingles that may require replacement during a solar system’s lifespan, Hy-Grade steel roofing helps homeowners avoid the added cost and disruption of removing and reinstalling panels.
Solar energy production
Turn your roof into a power-generating asset. Solar panels help offset electrical costs by producing clean, renewable energy right from your home.
Energy-saving
A Hy-Grade steel roof is designed to improve your home’s energy efficiency, helping reduce heating and cooling demands throughout the year. Combined with solar, it’s a smarter approach to lowering overall energy costs.
Solar Mounting, Reimagined for Steel Roofing
Because the mounting solution is specifically designed for Hy-Grade roofing, it works with the roof’s profile rather than requiring modifications to it.
No Roof Penetrations
The Bluewater Energy bracket allows the panels to be installed without penetrations through the Hy-Grade roofing system, creating a cleaner solution that works with the roof’s design.
Preserves Your Roof Warranty
Because the bracket was engineered specifically for the Hy-Grade Steel Roofing System, homeowners can enjoy the benefits of solar without compromising warranty protection.
Independent Attachment System
Unlike many solar mounting methods that rely on the roofing system itself for attachment, the Bluewater Energy bracket utilizes an independent mounting approach engineered specifically for the Hy-Grade roof.
Purpose-built integration
Created specifically for the Hy-Grade roof profile, this system delivers a seamless integration between roofing and solar that looks intentional from day one.
A Better Experience From Day One
Local Companies. Shared Standards.
A premium steel roof and a solar energy system are significant investments, and homeowners deserve a team that makes the experience simple from start to finish. That’s why the relationship between Hy-Grade Steel Roofing and Bluewater Energy feels like such a natural fit.
For decades, both companies have built their reputations on craftsmanship, customer service, and doing things the right way. Rather than coordinating between multiple contractors, homeowners benefit from experienced teams that understand how roofing and solar work together, helping ensure a smooth and organized installation process.
From the initial consultation through final installation, our goal is to deliver a true white-glove experience. Clear communication, professional workmanship, and a commitment to customer satisfaction means you’ll have trusted experts guiding you every step of the way, with one shared focus: helping you get the most from your investment.
