5.2 Determining position of solar panels and measuring

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

coming in throughout the day and throughout the year. Place the 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, 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 on the roof around the solar panels 30 cm is kept free. In other words,

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 field on the bitumen roof field with chalk or a marker. Mark the lines where the mounting rails

are coming (on 1 / 4th of the top panel and bottom panel). Mark then where the mounting brackets must be placed ie on the

ends of the mounting rail up to 30 cm apart and furthermore up to 120 cm

apart (See calculator for distance).
