6.3 Securing of mounting brackets
Use the position of the solar panels on the roof to determine the position of the mounting brackets.
The mounting brackets are attached at 1/4 of the height of the panel’s upper edge and the panel’s lower edge, with a
distance of 2/4 H between them. Divide the mounting brackets evenly over the line of the mounting rails. The mounting
brackets have to be placed at a maximum distance of 120 cm from each other (See calculator for distance). Place an extra
mounting bracket at each end at a distance of approximately 30 cm.
1. Mark the raised part of the roof plate at the position where the mounting brackets will be placed.
2. Cut the self-sticking EPDM sealing tape into pieces of approximately 9 cm with a knife. Pull the yellow strip loose from the
tape.
3. Attach the EPDM sealing tape to the underside of the mounting brackets. The two holes of the mounting brackets have to
be fully covered.
4. Place the mounting brackets along the marked line on the roof. Ensure that the mounting brackets are positioned parallel
on the raised part. The “ridge” of the mounting bracket has to be on the upper side. The “snap-lip” is on the underside.
Screw the mounting bracket to the roof plate with the self-tapping plate screw 6.0x25mm.
At this point, screw ONLY the upper screw tight. This leaves some room for the mounting bracket to move, which will
make the snapping of the mounting rail much easier. Use a battery screwdriver with caplet S8. Take care that it is set to a
maximum slip coupling of 3N/m to prevent the screw from overturning. As soon as the rubber on the screw is distorted, the
screw is tight and the roof is watertight. (See appendix on page 14)
5. Ensure that the mounting brackets are perfectly aligned.
Attention: Height differences in the roof can be filled up with a heightening cube (optional).
