Unlocking the solar energy potential of all roofs
RABLE manufactures an innovative mounting structure for solar panels. A solution that allows mounting of solar panels on all flat roofs, even when the roof construction is very weak. With the potential to equip all rooftops with solar energy using our zero-ballast solar support system, we can protect nature and accelerate the energy transition.
Accelerating the energy transition!
VISION
RVO has concluded from research that more than half of Dutch commercial roofs are not suitable for solar installations. In the Netherlands, solar panels on a flat roof with more than 295 m2 of roof area are only possible after a costly renovation. RABLE has a self-supporting mounting system which allows, without any renovation costs, solar installations to be placed on these roofs. Our goal is therefore to utilize all roofs as soon as possible and provide them with renewable energy.

Introducing our Carpark-solution
Transform parking lots into power plants with our smart solar-powered carports. Thanks to our "floating" PV mounting structure and technology for "weak" roofs, we have developed a self-supporting system that requires 50% fewer support pillars.

Winner of Best Innovation Award 2024
The judges on the winner: 'RABLE has developed an innovative product that breaks open a market that was unattainable until recently. The innovative installation method that requires far fewer anchor points, with - as an extra nice-to-have - a high installation speed, can make all the difference. The fact that this is a Dutch company and Dutch product is the icing on the cake.'
One of the biggest challenges for owners of large roofs is the cost of PV installation on roofs with structural constraints.
Investments are needed to make the roof suitable for solar energy, ranging from €15 to €75 per m2, depending on the structural limitation.
Capark Product design
We are developing a solar-powered carport based on our technology for "weak" roofs. Our ambition is to install a smart, self-supporting system for solar panels on parking garages, requiring 50% fewer support pillars. Thanks in part to a contribution of €25,000 from the Rabo Impact Fund, we can adapt our technology and create a new design.
New Product: RABLE2go!
Want to save money on your energy bills at home while making a positive contribution to the environment?
Meet RABLE2go, the plug-and-play solar panel set that gives you all the benefits of renewable energy in a simple package.
Solar energy has become an increasingly popular energy source in recent years, and there's a good reason for that.
It is renewable, environmentally friendly and cost-effective in the long run. However, installing solar panels on industrial roofs can be challenging, and not as feasible as one might think. Research* shows that 60% of large roofs in the Netherlands are more or less structurally suitable for solar installations.
RABLE wants nature, nature to stay and that's why we are on a mission to provide solar power to all rooftops in the Netherlands!
Our innovative technology allows us to install solar panels on roofs previously unsuitable for PV, making clean energy accessible to all. By using rooftops to produce solar energy, we preserve valuable natural or agricultural land and reduce our carbon footprint.
Products
The RABLE substructure is a technologically advanced system based on a truss design. This design includes a truss in longitudinal and transverse directions, resulting in a rigid and stable structure. The unique aspect of this system is the patented tension cable running along the length, making the system self-supporting.
Thanks to this self-supporting feature, the RABLE substructure can span up to 25 meters while relying on the existing roof beams or rafters. This ensures that there is little to no load on the roof panels.
The RABLE substructure is ballast-free and is mounted on the roof with minimal roof anchor points at the ends of the structure. The RABLE substructure can already provide a suitable solution for roofs that can support no more than 7 kg of ballast per square meter, without any structural modifications.
RABLE4roofs / Oost West
Efficient PV mounting system for weak roofs, with spans up to 10 meters on roof columns or beams. This makes the system suitable for weak flat roofs.
RABLE8 / Oost West
The RABLE8 is the revolutionary system that is twice the size of the RABLE4roofs.
With this size, the RABLE8 can effortlessly achieve spans of up to 25 meters on roof columns or beams.
RABLE2go
With the RABLE2go, it's easier than ever to generate your sustainable energy. Our plug-and-play solar panel set is specially designed to make solar energy accessible to everyone, even if you don't have much space.
RABLE10carpark
Cost-effective solar solution for parking lots, with truss technology for greater span capacity and fewer support points/columns (up to 50% less).
