Perfect for roof solar projects, industrial zones, and utility platforms across Kenya.
Mwanga Solutions presents the FRP Solar Molded Grating, specially engineered for photovoltaic walkway systems on solar rooftops. Manufactured with corrosion-resistant fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP), this grating delivers unmatched strength-to-weight ratio, UV stability, and slip resistance even in harsh Kenyan climate conditions.
Built for use in commercial and industrial solar installations, the molded grating ensures safe and durable access on elevated platforms, metal rooftops, and panel arrays. It’s an ideal flooring solution for both new solar panel installations and retrofits.

Quick Installation: Lightweight nature allows fast rooftop mounting without heavy cranes.
Minimal Maintenance: No painting, polishing, or rust removal needed.
| Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| Preparation | Ensure clean, level surface. Use rubber pads under base if required. |
| Cutting | Use diamond saw for precise sizing. Wear PPE. |
| Fastening Options | Use stainless steel clamps or screw-based clips depending on substrate |
| Edge Protection | Add rubber bumpers or metal trims on exposed walkway edges |
| Safety Compliance | Ensure surface gritting remains intact. Clean occasionally with soft brush. |
| Attribute | Molded FRP Grating | Pultruded FRP Grating |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Resin + glass fibers in mold | Pulled continuous fibers through die |
| Strength | High impact resistance | Higher axial strength |
| Surface Customization | Gritted, Concave | More limited surface options |
| Application | Solar rooftops, walkways | Industrial catwalks, long spans |
Q1: Can I install this on a corrugated metal roof?
Yes. The panels can be mounted with roof-friendly brackets or clamps that adjust to metal sheets.
Q2: Is it suitable for salty coastal environments like Mombasa?
Absolutely. Its corrosion resistance outperforms steel in coastal zones.
Q3: Can I walk on it with tools and equipment?
Yes. The grating supports human weight plus light equipment up to the rated load.
Q4: Do you offer on-site installation?
Yes, Mwanga Solutions offers installation services across Kenya.
Q5: Is it fireproof?
It is fire-retardant and self-extinguishing, but not 100% fireproof. Avoid open flame.
Explore how this FRP walkway works in real rooftop environments.
The embedded video provides a close-up look at FRP grating being installed on a solar roof walkway. You'll see its lightweight but rugged structure, how the gritted surface prevents slips even during rain, and why solar contractors prefer it for speed, safety, and efficiency. It also illustrates the use of clamps and trims for proper anchoring and finish.
The open-mesh design shown helps drain rainwater, reduce heat buildup under solar panels, and improve long-term panel efficiency. For rooftop safety, it’s a proven, field-tested solution across Kenya and globally.
Mwanga Solutions works closely with contractors and EPC companies to deliver pre-cut, ready-to-install FRP grating that conforms to your mounting systems and layout needs.
