    The most common option is to horizontally assemble type e.g. TF50+ carrier rails and arrange solar modules vertically. For this reason, any further mounting procedures describe such an arrangement. Figure 1: View of the IBC TopFix 200 pitched roof mounting system Important! We would like to once again point out that the applicable accident prevention regulations (UVV) must be observed when working on the roof (including VBG 37 construction work, paragraph 12 "Fall protection...

    04. Fitting the various mounting systems General dimensioning information The PV system on your roof is subject to considerable forces caused by snow and, most of all, wind. Improper fastening of the PV system, particularly the modules, may cause significant damage to objects as well as personal injury.
  • Page 13 Fitting the roof hooks In order to comply with warranty conditions (rain-proofing etc.) we recommend having the roof hooks fitted by a roofing firm. Please also take into account the manufacturer's regulations and specifications for the corresponding roofing, in particular with regard to the use of manufacturer accessories for roofing as well as the overview in section 11 containing data on the rafter dimensions required as per EN 1995-1-1.
  • Page 14 If the roof hook cannot be fitted as shown above due to the form of the tile or the position of the depression, it is imperative that a roofer is engaged. Changes to roof covering materials (roof tiles, clay tiles, roof panels, cast stone, etc.) may only be made in accordance with the applicable roofing trade regulations and the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Hanger bolts are used on corrugated eternit and trapezoidal sheet metal roofs as well as bitumen roofs to attach the carrier rails. The load bearing roof construction to which the hanger bolt is secured consists of timber purlins or timber rafters.
  • Page 34  Cut hanger bolts using an angle grinder if they protrude too far (comply with accident prevention regulations).  For stress reasons, the universal connector must always be mounted in the direction of the roof ridge. Figure 49: Correctly fitted hanger bolt with universal connector Important! The stress values for the M12x300 hanger bolt relate to a fixing distance l = 100mm for a use of corrugated eternit panels.

The roofing must not be damaged by the load on the installed clamps. For this reason, we recommend having sheet seam clamps fitted by a roofing company.The tightening torque of the sheet seam clamp must be limited in such a way that the sheet metal is not deformed and the thermal expansion of the sheets is not hindered.

    05. Fitting carrier rails  Insert the pre-assembled securing screw (M10 connection piece for roof hook profile) through the roof hook slot. Rotate by 90° and insert into the mounting groove of the e.g. TF50+ carrier rail. Connect TF50+ carrier rail to the roof hooks at the required height and tighten the screw. Important: Please ensure all teeth of the type e.g.
  • Page 51 The ends of the rows must be aligned at an exact right angle (90°) to the bottom rail, as otherwise it will not be possible to align the joints between the modules.  Once the carrier rails have been aligned, re-tighten IBC SOLAR AG screws to the corresponding tightening torque and re-check.
