3. Product description The mounting system is made of mounting profiles and the required mounting materials to mount the solar panels in landscape or portrait orientation on the metal sheet roof. The mounting system for metal sheet roofing can be used for all metal sheet roofs, including the common corrugated or trapezoidal metal sheet roofs.

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.
6.3 Attaching the mounting profiles with blind rivets 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.
6.4 Installation of the optimizer (optional) Note! Do not attach cable clips and optimizers to the top row of mounting profiles, row 1. The cable clips and optimizers can only be connected to the rows that have the 200-mm side of the mounting profile at the top (above the universal module clamp).
6.5 Installation of 1st solar panel on mounting profiles 1. Click the universal module clamp onto the top two mounting profiles. 2. Slide the end clamp support onto the mounting profiles and slide the end clamp support over the universal module clamp. 3.
6.6 Installation of other solar panels on the mounting profiles 1. Slide the next solar panel between the mounting profiles and the universal module clamps. Afterwards, tighten the universal module clamps. Note! The torque for the screw connection is 4.5 Nm (max. 6.5 Nm). Repeat this step if there are more intermediate panels.
6.7 Final assembly / multiple rows 1. In order to get a connected solar panel surface, slide the adjacent solar panels against the row of solar panels. 2. Repeat the steps from chapter 6.4 - 6.5. The solar panel field is now complete! Click! Rev.
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.
7.3 Attaching the mounting profiles with blind rivets 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.
7.4 Installation of the optimizer (optional) 1. Click the cable clip onto the mounting rail, below the panel. One cable clip is used per solar panel. Note! Make sure the cable clip is placed between the upwards open parts of the roof sheet. (See detail below, optimizer zone) 2.
7.5 Installation of 1st solar panel onto mounting profiles 1. Click the universal module clamp onto the top two left mounting profiles. Then slide them to the centre of the mounting profile. 2. Slide the end clamp support onto the mounting profiles and slide the end clamp support over the universal module clamp. 3.
7.6 Installation of other solar panels on the mounting profiles 1. Slide the next solar panel between the mounting profiles and the universal module clamps. Note! Make sure the module clamp is always between the screw locations. Screw the universal module clamps in place. Note! The torque for the screw connection is 4.5 Nm (max.
7.7 Final assembly 1st row of adjacent solar panels 1. Slide the last solar panel in the row between the mounting profiles and the universal module clamps. Afterwards, tighten the universal module clamps. Note! The torque for the screw connection is 4.5 Nm (max. 6.5 Nm). 2.
7.8 Final assembly / multiple rows below each other 1. In order to get a connected solar panel surface, slide the solar panels below against the row of solar panels. 2. Repeat the steps from chapter 7.4 - 7.5 and finalise the solar panels according to step 1 - 5 below. The solar panel field is now complete! Click! Rev.

8.2 Installation of the corrugated adapter profile for landscape installations 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. The EPDM adapter profile has an indentation at the bottom, allowing it to properly fit the corrugated metal sheet roof.
