The Biggest Fear: Why Drill Holes in a perfectly Good Roof?

In a country with heavy rainfall like Malaysia, homeowners have a natural fear of roof leaks (bocor). Many worry that drilling holes into roof tiles or metal decks to install solar panels is asking for trouble, fearing that future repair costs might outweigh electricity savings.

Honestly, this fear is valid. The market is full of horror stories of leaks caused by poor workmanship and cheap materials. But remember: Leaks are not the fault of solar technology; they are the fault of bad “workmanship.”

At Homi, we treat roof integrity as our lifeline. We don’t just ensure no leaks; we promise that the waterproofing at the installation points will exceed that of your original roof.

Homi’s Secret Weapon: The “Double Waterproofing” Defense System

How do we achieve this? It relies on our standardized “double insurance” process.

First Defense: Specialized Brackets & Physical Seal

We never use generic, cheap brackets. We employ customized mounting systems specifically for Malaysia’s common Tile Roofs and Metal Decks.

• Tile Roofs: We often use “non-intrusive” hooks that don’t even require drilling through the tile itself, but rather slide under to secure to the rafters.

• Metal Decks: We use specialized screws equipped with industrial-grade EPDM rubber washers. As the screw is tightened, the rubber washer compresses, forming the first tight physical waterproof barrier.

Second Defense: Industrial-Grade Chemical Seal

This is the most crucial step, and the one many “cincai” (careless) installers skip.

After the bracket is secured, our technicians apply a top-tier Industrial-grade Polyurethane Sealant—the same caliber of material used in high-rise building facades or automotive windshields.

We don’t just seal around the screw hole; we encapsulate the entire contact area, forming a thick, flexible, and UV-resistant permanent waterproof layer.

Conclusion: A Point Stronger Than the Original

After Homi’s “Double Waterproofing” treatment, the exact spot where the bracket is installed actually becomes the strongest, most leak-proof point on your entire roof.

Don’t let groundless fears of leaks stop you from enjoying 25 years of free electricity. Choose Homi, and we will give you double the peace of mind with professional craftsmanship.
