Warranty / Product Liability (Exclusion) - BayWa novotegra closed II Mounting Instructions

6 Warranty / product liability (exclusion)

In addition to the above-mentioned regulations and safety notices the applicable regulations and rules of
technology must be observed by the installing specialist company.
The installer is responsible for the dimensioning of the mounting system.
The installer is responsible for the connection of the interfaces between the mounting system and the
building. This also includes the tightness of the building envelope.
For flat roofs the roof insulation must be evaluated by the installer on site within his own responsibility
regarding the material of the sealing layer, resistance, ageing, compatibility with other materials, overall
condition of the roof insulation, need for a separating layer between the roof insulation and the mounting
system. The required and necessary measures or precautions for the protection of the roof insulation for
the mounting of the substructure of a PV system must be initiated by the installer with the aid of a specialist
tradesman where necessary. BayWa r.e. Solar Energy Systems GmbH does not accept liability for faulty or
inadequate measures and precautions for the protection of the roof insulation!
The installer must review the friction coefficient used in the calculation for the verification of the slip safety
of PV systems on flat roofs on site. Friction coefficients determined on site may be taken into account and
must be provided to BayWa r.e. Solar Energy Systems GmbH for the calculation. BayWa r.e. Solar Energy
Systems GmbH does not guarantee the correctness of the assumed values and is not liable for damage
due to the use of incorrect values.
The specifications of the module, cable and inverter manufacturers must be observed. If these contradict
the mounting instructions, always consult the BayWa r.e. Solar Energy Systems GmbH sales team before
mounting the novotegra mounting system or – in the case of components not supplied by BayWa r.e. Solar
Energy Systems GmbH – the manufacturer concerned.
During the preparation of the offers for novotegra by our sales staff the local conditions are not always
sufficiently known, which is why changes to the offered quantities may result during installation. These
changes relate mainly to the number of fasteners for the building envelope (for example roof hooks). In this
case the additionally required components must always be installed in accordance with the dimensioning.
BayWa r.e. Solar Energy Systems GmbH is not liable for incorrect or incomplete data collection sheets.
Error-free and fully completed data collection sheets are essential for correct dimensioning.
The information in the mounting instructions, the warranty terms and the information about the liability
exclusion must be noted.
