4.4.2 Roof

Seams

TIP

Roof seams are necessary when the modules do not completely cover the roof.

Roof Seams left and right

TIP



Make sure that the inverter cables and the circuit connecting cable are installed before beginning with the

mounting of the modules.

TIP

Flashing profiles and flashings should be laid with each respective row of modules!

1. Connect flashing profiles right and left to the frame profiles at the array edge.

2. Connect flashings to the flashing profiles.
