4.
Screw the mounting plate into place, use M10 flange nuts.
Continue with the mounting rail and solar panel according to
the principles illustrated previously.
If support stands are to be used, install these on the adapter
and the mounting rail above the stands.
Mounting raised sealing plate (bitumen roof)
NOTE
Read through the installation section before starting
mounting.
1.
Lay out the felt (larger than the panel) with the under side
(adhesive side) upwards where the sealing plate is to be in-
stalled.
2.
Position the sealing plate in the desired position and look
for a wave peak in the roof panel. Screw the sealing plate into
place with a least (4) screws.
If the felt is resting on insulation in most cases spacers must
be used, for example: hot dip galvanised pipe spuds approx:
10-12 mm in diameter.
Bear in mind that if the solar panel risks major wind loads
(particularly applies to raised panels) the sealing plate needs
to be screwed into place with many more screws. The installer
must evaluate this from case to case based on the conditions,
including:
1.
Is the position of the solar panel near the outer edges
of the roof?
2.
How well do the screws tighten in the under panel
(depends on type of base surface and type of screw
used)?
3.
Will the solar panel be raised?
4.
Is the installation in a windy area?
5.
Is the installation in a snow rich area?
