Variation for installation on plain tile roofs with plain tile roof cladding: A
recess must be cut into the tiles around the position of the roof hook. The
tile flashing should be used if necessary, to prevent ingress of water.
To connect several rails together, slide half of the splice into
the rear side of the rail. Fasten the first M8 Bolt using an
Allen key, and slide the next rail into the splice. Tighten the
second M8 Bolt using an Allen key. The total rail length is
recommended not to be over 30 meters considering rails
thermal expansion problem. Splice provides the electrical
connection between the 2 rails through the pressure
bolts. This eliminates the need of using 2 earthing lugs.
Recommended torque is 10 ~12 N.m.
If the rails consist of different lengths, always begin with the
shortest piece. Install the PV Rails on the Roof Hooks and
fasten loosely with M8 x 25 bolt and washers as shown in the
figure on the right. Two to three screw turns are adequate for
loose installation.
