2 System S-Class Integration (Deluxe)

2.1 Description

The S-Class Integration (Deluxe) mounting system replac-
es the conventional roofing of pitched roofs and is used for
a roof inclination of more than 10 degrees. It is laid onto
the existing roof lathing and is suitable for old and new
buildings alike.
Due to the arrangement of the system lathing, the S-Class
Integration (Deluxe) mounting system provides for a back-
side ventilation in order to cool the modules from the back.
For the electrical connection, HUBER+SUHNER prefabri-
cated connectors are used.

2.2 Tightness

The S-Class Integration (Deluxe) mounting system offers
a rain resistance which is comparable to a standard pan-
tiled roof. It does not mean that a roof is water tight! Under
certain climatic conditions, snow flakes, driving rain oder
water may penetrate under the modules from the eaves.
For a proper drainage of ingressed water or condensate,
an intact sub-roof is required. If not available, such a roof
must be erected/retrofitted prior to installation of the mod-
ules.

2.3 Sub-roof

The general rules, which are valid for roofers, shall ap-
ply to the design and the backside ventilation of the sub-
roof. In order to extend the lifetime of the substructure, the
backside ventilation should be enhanced by means of the
module lathing and ventilation orifices at the eaves and
ridge. In addition, backside-ventilated crystalline modules
will offer a higher yield.
A structural stability of the roof and/or the roof substructure
with regard to wind and snow load, which allows the re-
sulting loads and forces to be absorbed and transfered by
the roof substructure – the rafters, lathing and connecting
elements – is a basic requirement for the installation of a
photovoltaic system .
