Target group

These installation instructions are intended for trained personnel who are familiar with the installation of
photovoltaic systems. The personnel should also be familiar with working on roofs and know the local reg-
ulations regarding work safety. The personnel must also observe the instructions in the Safety chapter.

Appropriate use

The CompactGROUND ground-mounted system is designed for installing PV modules on the ground. The
slope must not exceed 10° (ballasting with ballast stones and/or ground screws). A project specific cla-
rification is required for a slope inclination of more than 10°. The system must be properly installed in accord-
ance with these installation instructions and the planning documents supplied.

PV modules used with the CompactGROUND system should be approved by the module manufacturer.
AEROCOMPACT accepts no liability for loss of performance or damage of any kind to the PV modules.

Any other use of the CompactGROUND system is considered improper.

Liability, Warranty, Guarantee

These assembly instructions and the project report supplied with the product are integral parts of the
product. The information, data and instructions given in the assembly instructions were up to date at the
time of printing. No claims can be made for products already delivered that deviate from the information,
illustrations and descriptions.

The project report supplied with the system contains the static calculation related to the location. The pos-
ition of the modules on the ground, the number and position of the ground screws and/or ballasting must
be followed exactly as specified in the project report. The Aerocompact system is designed and planned with
the Aerotool software.

Planning documents

Before installation, check that the site conditions correspond to the planning document details.
