  • Page 8: Determining And Measuring Position Solar Panels

    5.2 Determining and measuring position solar panels When determining the position of the solar panels on the steel roof, it is important to take into account the angle under which the sunlight falls on the roof during the whole day and during the whole year. Place the panels on an area which has no shadow whatsoever.

    6. Installation 6.1 Pre-mounting of suspension bushes on solar panels Mount 2 suspension bushes per solar panel at the rear of the solar panel (= same side as the junction box). First insert the stainless steel hexagon bolts M6x20 into the existing holes in the frame and secure the suspension bushes accordingly. Subsequently mount the M6 nuts.

    6.3 Securing of mounting brackets Use the position of the solar panels on the roof to determine the position of the mounting brackets. The mounting brackets are attached at 1/4 of the height of the panel’s upper edge and the panel’s lower edge, with a distance of 2/4 H between them.

    6.4 Securing of mounting rail 1. Position the mounting rail on the mounting brackets. Make sure that the mounting bracket and the mounting rail are precisely at a right angle to each other. The mounting bracket can be rotated slightly because it is only attached by the upper screw.

    6.6 Mounting 1st solar panel on the rails Slide the first solar panel to the side of the mounting rail. Then slide the end clamp onto the mounting rail. Choose the right cavity so the end clamp precisely fits to the solar panel. Let approximately 1 cm of rail protrude visibly besides the end clamp.

    6.7 Mounting of other solar panels on the rails Suspend the second solar panel from the mounting rail and slide this towards the first one until a gap of approximately 7mm remains. Then screw the mounting screw with a modular clamp plate into the mounting rail. The torque of the screw connections is 4.5N/m.
