  • Page 9: Determining And Measuring Position Of Solar Panels

    5.3 Determining and measuring position of solar panels When determining the position of the solar panels on the sloped roof, it is very important to pay attention to the position of the sun during the day and the entire year. Place the panels on a roof surface that has a minimum amount of shade. Shade from a chimney, dormer, tree or adjacent building negatively impacts the yield of the solar panels.

    6. Parts list mounting system in landscape orientation 6.1 Positioning the mounting profiles Note! In case of a corrugated metal sheet roof, the mounting profile metal sheet roof ‘Optimizer ready or Basic’ landscape should be equipped with an EPDM adapter profile on the bottom (see chapter 8.2 in the attachment). You can determine the position of the mounting profiles based on the location of the solar panels on the roof.

    6.2 Attaching the mounting profiles with screws 1. Mark the centre of the shape top of the corrugated metal sheet roof and use a crayon or marker to demarcate the location of the mounting profiles in a clear line. Only the top row of mounting profiles should be mounted below the panel with the largest part of the mounting profile.

    7. Installation mounting system in portrait orientation 7.1 Positioning the mounting profiles You can determine the position of the mounting profiles based on the location of the solar panels on the roof. The mounting profiles should be positioned at distance A in the upwards direction of the metal sheet roof. Make sure the hole pattern of the mounting profile corresponds to the shape top centre of the metal sheet roof.

    7.2 Attaching the mounting profiles with screws 1. Mark the centre of the shape top of the corrugated metal sheet roof and use a crayon or marker to demarcate the location of the mounting profiles in a clear line. 2. Place the mounting profiles along the line marked on the roof. Make sure the mounting profiles are perpendicular to the shape top of the metal sheet roof.
