General Installation and Transport Instructions
ing the solar panel system, familiarise yourself with the locally applicable standards and regulations. We recommend
that you use a carrying strap to transport the solar collector. You must not lift the solar collector by its connections
or screw threads. Do not jolt the collector or allow parts of it to be affected by mechanical factors. This is particularly
important for the glass, rear panel, and pipe connections.
Structural engineering aspects
load-bearing capacity of the roof or substructure must be checked in accordance with local and regional stipulations at
the site prior to the installation of the panels, if necessary by means of the commissioning of a structural engineer. In

to heavy snow or high winds. When doing this, you need also to investigate all the peculiarities of the erection location
(prevailing winds (foehn), venturi effects, eddies, etc.) that may lead to locally increased loading.
Information regarding inclined roofs (see on-roof installation):

are used for residential purposes, and roof pitches that are below the minimum recommended value require (in rela-
tion to the cladding) additional measures to be carried out by the customer in order to protect against the penetration
of water as a result of wind force and driving snow. This might include sub-roof membranes, for example. To prevent

situations) must not reach the solar panels. Snow catchers must be installed 0.5 m above the top of the panels to en-
sure that the panels themselves do not act as snow arrestors. To prevent inadmissible wind loads, the collectors may
not be installed at the edge of a roof (e/10 edge zones as per EN1991, but with a minimum gap of 1 m). In particular,
in the case of elevated structures, the top of a panel must not protrude above the roof ridge. Panels must not be in-
stalled below a height transition so that it is not possible for excess loads to fall onto the panel system from the higher
level as a result of drifting or sliding snow. If, to solve this problem, snow catchers are installed at the higher level, the
statics of the higher level must also be checked.

concrete ballast blocks, rubber underlays must be used to increase the static friction between the concrete ballast
blocks, thus preventing damage to the roof cladding.
