Wind and Climate Considerations

gap should perferably be less than mm
(for gaps mm use Wind egion xings)
orregated metal roof
or le roof
ollector Panel
Panels installed above the roof structure with 50mm or greater underneath air gaps
experience much higher wind loadings and are now subject to the Australian wind loading
standard AS/NZD 1170.2.
It is the responsibility of the installer to consider wind loading factors, see
“wind proofing”
section below.
If the installation site is within strong wind speed areas then the extra
stainless steel guide line must be installed across each row with the in-between panel
anchor points.
Do not assume supplied components are sufficient.
