The ECTRAY Solar FRP Fiberglass Reinforced Walkway is a high-performance anti-slip, fire-resistant rooftop access solution designed specifically for solar panel systems. Built from durable fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP), this walkway system offers unmatched corrosion resistance, strength-to-weight ratio, and long-term reliability, even under the harshest environmental conditions.
With a coarse grit surface, the panels deliver superior traction for safe foot traffic on roofs and elevated structures, ensuring maintenance personnel can safely navigate around PV arrays without damaging roof sheets or solar modules. The system is engineered to meet international fire safety standards and is ideal for both residential and industrial photovoltaic installations in Kenya’s diverse climate conditions.
Whether you are operating a rooftop solar plant in Nairobi or a remote solar array in coastal Kenya, Mwanga Solutions offers local supply, customization, and installation support to meet your project needs.

Commercial rooftop solar PV installations
Industrial solar plants with high foot traffic
Remote or off-grid solar arrays requiring safe inspection paths
Roofs made from metal sheets, tiles, or concrete
Coastal buildings prone to corrosion from salt spray
Solar farms with elevated walkways and cable trenches
| Roof Type | Installation Approach |
|---|---|
| Corrugated metal roofs | FRP walkways installed on purlins using stainless steel clamps |
| Flat concrete roofs | Bolted directly into raised brackets or curb-mounted trays |
| Clay tile roofs | Customized spacing with underlay support and adjustable pedestals |
| Standing seam roofs | Clamp-on mechanisms to avoid roof penetration |
The ECTRAY FRP Walkway is manufactured to meet strict international standards for fire resistance. Its Class 1 rating (ASTM E84) makes it suitable for high-risk environments like rooftops with electrical equipment, ensuring fire containment and reduced spread potential.
The integrated silica grit surface ensures high friction even in moist or dusty conditions, critical for maintenance workers accessing elevated or sloped surfaces.
| Add-on | Purpose |
|---|---|
| UV-resistant cable trays | Route solar cables securely along walkway edges |
| Handrails and guardrails | Improve fall protection on elevated paths |
| Corner joints and end caps | Smooth transitions between walkway sections |
| Toe plates | Prevent tools or materials from falling off edges |
| Pedestal Mounts | Elevate walkways for airflow or slope correction |
Site Survey – Assess roof type, slope, solar array layout, and drainage patterns.
Custom Sizing – Panels are pre-cut to fit exact dimensions for seamless integration.
Structural Layout – Walkway routes are aligned to avoid direct panel contact.
Panel Fixing – Panels secured with stainless steel bolts or clamps, depending on substrate.
Safety Accessories – Guardrails, cable trays, or toe plates added where needed.
Inspection – Post-installation checks ensure mechanical fit and safe clearance around electrical systems.
Mwanga Solutions is a leading Kenyan supplier of high-performance solar mounting solutions tailored for our climate, infrastructure, and workforce.
Kenya-specific engineering: Every system we offer is optimized for Kenya’s UV exposure, rainfall patterns, and solar installation trends.
Fast delivery: Nairobi-based stock and quick shipping to Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret, and all counties.
Custom fabrication: Panels are cut, drilled, and kitted for your exact site needs.
Expert support: Our technicians assist from concept to commissioning.

How does the walkway perform during heavy rainfall?
The 65% open grating design allows water to pass through quickly, reducing slip risks and preventing water pooling.
Is it compatible with tilted solar arrays?
Yes. Walkways can be installed at an angle using support pedestals or mounted across panel rows with bracketing.
Can it be relocated if I move panels?
Yes. The FRP system is modular and can be unscrewed and reinstalled as needed.
How do I clean the walkway?
A pressure washer or stiff broom is sufficient for occasional cleaning. The grit surface does not retain dirt easily.
Will the yellow color fade?
Color fading is minimal due to UV inhibitors, even under the strong equatorial sun.
Mombasa Ports and Coastal Installations: The anti-corrosive nature of FRP makes it perfect for salt-prone environments.
Nairobi CBD Rooftops: Ideal for retrofitting on urban buildings where metal may pose an electrical risk.
Solar Farms in Kisumu: Durable and safe for high-traffic areas under regular maintenance.
Thika Industrial Zones: Withstand chemical exposure and mechanical load.
Off-grid Schools and Clinics: Easy to install and requires no complex tools or power supply.
