Page 2: Part I. Preparing
Solar Mounting Systems I. Preparing 1. Determine the wind region of your installation site Region Definition: Wind regions are pre defined for all of Australia by Australian Standard 1170. The Wind Region has nothing to do with surrounding topography or buildings. Most of Australia is designated Region A which indicates a Regional Ultimate Basic Wind Velocity of 45msec. - Page 3 2. Determine the installation area on the roof Chiko Mounting system may be installed anywhere on a roof but fixing centres are required to be reduced at ridges and edges. The diagram below shows the area of higher wind within a (minimum of 0.2a and 0.2b) of a roof edge or ridge (where b and d are the plan dimension of the building).
- Page 4 Solar Mounting Systems 4. Determine the Maximum Rail Support Spacing Please use the following table to determine the base rail support spacing for Tilt kit installations to metal sheet roof. * Each row of solar panels shall have minimum of two rows of railing fixed to the roof framing. * The spacing of the rail fixing shall not exceed the recommended spacing, and shall be reduced to match the location of the roof rafter.
- Page 5 35mm. The minimum embedment for each screw shall be 70mm. Timber with Joint Type classification J5 and J6 are excluded unless tested for Screw capacity. Please consult Chiko Solar for installing solar modules greater than length of 1960mm and weight of 27KG.
