5.2 Determining position of solar panels and measuring

In the determination of the position of the solar panels on the sloping roof, it is very important to pay attention to the sunlight

coming in throughout the day and throughout the year. Place the solar panels on a roof surface which has no shadow.

Shadow of a chimney, dormer, trees and nearby buildings have an adverse effect on the amount of energy generated by the

solar panels.

Measuring and marking

For the placing of the solar panel (in landscape setup), you need approximately an area of 160x80 cm or 160x100 cm or

200x100 cm per panel (depending on the type of solar panel).

Make sure that around the solar panels on the roof 1 tile is kept free. This equates to approximately 30 cm from the ridge

and the gutter and 30 cm from the sides in connection with wind load.

Mark the contours of the panel surface onto the tiles with chalk or a marker. Mark the lines where the hanger bolts should

be placed (on 1 / 4th of the side border of the panel). Then mark where the roof hooks should be placed.
