4.9 Mounting with trapezoidal sheet metal clamps
4.9.1 Introduction
IBC SOLAR AG trapezoidal sheet metal mounting in combination with the IBC TopFix 200 mounting
system is a fast, universal and structurally tested solution for attaching solar modules onto trapezoidal
sheet metal roofs. It will be secured either by rivets or self drilling screws.
Please note:

The minimum trapezoidal sheet thickness of steel or aluminium must be 0.5 mm.

The enclosed special 4.8×15 blind rivets with flat, round head are certified for a sheet metal or
aluminium thickness of between 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm.

Observe the ETA-13/0255 for the blind riverts.

The enclosed self drilling
between 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm.

Observe the ETA-10/0200 for the self drilling screws.

Do not fall below the raised bead support width of 15 mm.

The maximum width b of the raised bead must not exceed 40 mm.

Because additional loads are created by the PV system in connection with the IBC mounting system
and fixing points (fixed-points) and wind suction, the installer (contractor) has to check the statics of
the load capacity of the roofing and the substructure, which normally requires the services of a
structural engineer.

Special-purpose assembly on narrow raised beads, sandwich elements and elevations must be
verified on-site as part of individual statics inspections and a certificate for sandwich profiles may
have to be obtained from building surveillance authorities.
Important: Do not mount trapezoidal sheet clamps on the trapezoidal sheet metal panel blocks (two
layers of sheet metal)!
