System assembly overview

B

The Suntub® Assembly System for flat-pitched roofs is a support structure for the lengthwise installation of
PV modules. It consists of a black plastic body (100% recycled HDPE) with aluminium and stainless steel mount-
ed parts. The excellent ventilation of the modules optimizes the output of the PV system. The ballast required to
secure the unit against wind loads is provided by the customer in the form of gravel or concrete slabs, etc.

The roof pitch must be between 0° and °.

All mandatory framework conditions and technical data are summarized in the following table:

Components
1. Module
