- Page 15 INSTALLATION of Alpine Version For snow load of more than 50 psf (design load) additional support brackets must be installed on the lower and upper end centered of the module. Place the front support bracket (after pre-assembling an end clamp on top) on the lower module end centered in the middle and tighten.
- Page 16 Fixation of windsheet to bracket The windsheet of the S5 systems has a symmetrical cross section, and thus no “wing tip”. Install it in a way that the slotted holes are close to the upper edge and the rounded holes are close to the lower edge.
- Page 17 5 ballast blocks can be installed in the Protection Pads front ballast tray. Attach protection pads to each ballast tray (Aerocompact recommends glueing, see p.22). The standard (short) tray requires 2 pads (left and right end), the long tray requires 4 pads (evenly distributed over the tray length).
- Page 18 The tray is bolted additionally in the center of the windsheet using a cage nut, allen-head screw and washer. NOTE In case of the S5 systems, wind sheets are left out where long ballast trays, running over the whole length of the module, are present (see p.22).

Page 20: Bonding And Grounding
Continuous bonding between modules and the mounting system, and thus between all module frames and racking elements within an array, is achieved by Aerocompact‘s module clamps with intergrated pins. The performance of these clamps has been tested and recognized for UL listing. - Page 21 This racking system may be used to ground a PV module complying with UL 1703 only when specific module has been evaluated for grounding in compliance with included instructions. A list of PV modules with proven compliance in terms of UL 1703 is being built up and can be obtained from Aerocompact upon request.
- Page 22 Windsheet installation with the S5 system The windsheet of the S5 system (both sun angles) has to be installed in a way that the slotted holes are located along the upper edge and the rounded holes along the lower edge (see picture below).
- Page 23 Example of module manufacturer’s approval for short side clamping with/without center support A rooftop PV system imposes additional load onto the roof. For Aerocompact flat roof sys- tems, the design software calculates this additional load in terms of the absolute load (in lb) for an entire roof, as a surface-related average load (in psf), as well as reduced to a point load (in lb) under each individual support element.
- Page 24 Aerocompact cable management The UL certified cable management solution is designed for the string cable management (home runs) between the mod- ule rows. For the ultimate cable management please use certified cable trays according to the national regulations. ATTENTION Tighten the bracket with the M8x30 allen head screw also used for the winddeflector.

- Page 26 Installation of the penetration points If the maximum allowed roof weight is exceeded due to PV system, Aerocompact provides a Hybrid solution. This com- bination of penetration points and ballast reduces the overall weight of the system. Furthermore, this option is used in areas with seismic activity to prevent movement of the system due to vibrations from earthquakes.
