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

5.2 5.2 Determining and measuring position of solar panels

When determining the location of the solar panels on the flat roof, the movement of the sun throughout the whole day and
the entire year are very important to take into account. Place the solar panels on an area of the roof that never falls into
shade. The shadows of chimneys, trees or adjacent buildings all have an unfavourable effect on the yield of solar panels.
Measuring and marking out
To place a panel (in the landscape setup), you roughly need the same space for each setup as the panel is long.
With this system, a solar panel is placed on each side to create a pitched roof shape. If multiple rows of solar panels (in
pitched roof shape) are placed in succession, you must leave a distance between them to prevent shadows on the panels.
The distance of the solar panels to the edge of the roof must be around 1/5 of the height of the building, with a minimum
distance of 30 cm due to the strongly turbulent wind flows in this zone
*(see construction plan for the correct distance).
Mark the outlines of the panel field on the roof with chalk or a marker.

5.3 Cleaning roof

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