1.4 About this manual
Subject
This manual details the installation and assembly of
the SolarFrame flat roof system. The illustrations in the
manual show the portrait mounting procedure for framed
modules. Should landscape mounting differ from portrait
mounting, this will be clearly emphasised. Some ad-
ditional components that are repeatedly used are also
indicated. No description is included for materials for spe-
cial substructures that may be required to accommodate
the constructional conditions of the building in addition to
standard materials. These are always specially manufac-
tured and documented separately.
User group
This manual is intended for qualified personnel with a
basic knowledge of mechanics, hand tools and mechani-
cal skills.
