Determining Position And Measuring Solar Panels; Cleaning The Roof - ESDEC FlatFix Fusion Manual

6.2 Determining position and measuring solar panels

In determining the location of the solar panels on the flat roof, it is very important to pay attention to the incoming sunlight
throughout the day and throughout the year. Place the solar panels on a roof that has no shadow. The shadow of a
chimney, trees and nearby buildings have a detrimental effect on the yield of the solar panels.
Measuring and outlining
To place the solar panel (in a landscape arrangement), you need an area of approximately 160x100 cm per panel
(depending on type of solar panel).
If there are multiple rows of solar panels in succession, there should be a distance between rows of solar panels come
because of the shadow. The distance from the solar panels to the edge of the roof should be approximately 1/5 of the height
of the building with a minimum distance of 30 cm; this is because of the strong turbulent wind flows in this zone * (See
calculator for distance).
Mark the outline of the panel field on the roof with chalk or a marker.

6.3 Cleaning the roof

Clean the roof with a brush.
Make sure that the place where the solar panels are to be placed on the roof is clean, dry and flat. The presence of gravel,
sand, stones, algae, dust, etc. can lead to instability of the system and/or can cause damage to the roof.
