Architectural Solar Standing-Seam

Ng Tzong Sheng | Managing Director, UTICA

A Commitment to Operational Excellence

At UTICA, delivering quality is not a single step. It’s embedded into every part of our operations. As Managing Director, my role is to ensure that this commitment is reflected in how we plan, execute, and support every solar installation we deliver. From the first site assessment to system commissioning and after-sales service, we operate with one principle in mind: precision at every stage leads to performance that lasts.

Our teams follow strict technical protocols, safety standards, and quality control processes to ensure that each system is not only well-designed, but also expertly installed and maintained. We work closely with trusted technology partners and use proven materials, because reliability starts with the right foundation. To me, quality is more than engineering. It’s also about how we serve. That means clear communication, timely delivery, and accountability in every engagement.

As Managing Director, I take personal pride in building systems and systems of service that our clients can rely on for years to come.

A seamless solar solution for roofing, standing seam solar systems merge high-end architectural aesthetics with non-invasive installation. Designed specifically for standing seam metal roofs, these systems use clamped mounting solutions that avoid penetrating the roof surface. The clamps grip the vertical seams and support aluminum rails that securely hold PV panels in either landscape or portrait orientation. Materials used include structural-grade aluminium such as AA6063‑T6 and stainless steel fasteners like SS304 or SS316, ensuring corrosion resistance and long-term durability.

The system offers several advantages that make it suitable for a wide range of residential properties. Its non-penetrative attachment method preserves roof integrity and prevents water leakage, while the clean, minimalist aesthetic complements both traditional and modern architectural styles. The structure is engineered to withstand high winds, heavy rain, and even snow loads, ensuring long-term durability in diverse climates. With a ventilation clearance of approximately 90 to 150 mm, the system supports effective heat dissipation to maintain optimal module performance, and it aligns seamlessly with module orientations parallel to the roof slope.

Two main system variants are available:

• Standard Standing Seam, ideal for most roofs with landscape-oriented modules and at least 90 mm clearance.
• Standing Seam +, which accommodates portrait orientations with a 150 mm ventilation gap and additional space for taller module stacks.

These architecturally integrated mounting solutions allow solar panels to blend harmoniously into the roofline, making them a practical and visually refined choice for a wide variety of home types, from compact residences to large, design-forward houses.
