Double Seam Installation Manual
Since the active part of Roofit.solar panels must not
be cut or bended, it is recommended to leave some
distance around roof accessories such as eaves,
gables, valley flashings, ridge tunnels, and window
and chimney flashings.
5.1
The recommended distance for gables, chimney flashings,
ridges, are 150 mm; for window flashings and valley flashings,
the distance should be approx. 300 mm.
Fastening a Roofit.
solar module to the space around these roof elements at smaller
distances is not possible, so these areas should be fastened with
regular metal panels only.
These values may vary for each roofing material suppli-
er. Consult a local roofing specialist to get your accessories
dimensions before designing the PV system (Fig. 17).
5.2
Apart from chimney flashing, a distance as equal as height of
the chimney must be spared from Roofit.solar modules due to
shadow. This ‘height rule’ applies to all external erupted parts on
the roof including dormers and ventilation tubes.
