  • Page 11: Installation Instructions

    Installation Guide / SolarRoof Terracotta Tile Installation Instructions - Assess the number of modules in the vertical direction using the module height plus at least 18mm between modules (please check the installation manual of the solar module manufacturer). - Assess the Number of modules in the horizontal direction using the module width plus 18 mm (20 mm if using Universal Clamps) between the modules.
  • Page 12 If necessary, pack the roof hook with max pack height of 17 mm for Clenergy provided Buildex 50 mm long screw, with max pack height of 35 mm for Clenergy provided Buildex 65 mm long screw. If necessary, use an angle grinder to cut a recess in the tile covering the Roof Hook at the point where the Roof Hook extends so that the tile lies flat on the surface.
  • Page 13 Installation Guide / SolarRoof Terracotta Tile Caution! Do not use fitted roof hooks as a ladder, as this extreme point load could damage the tile below. Variation for installation on plain tile roofs with plain tile roof cladding: A recess must be cut into the tiles around the position of the roof hook. The tile flashing should be used if necessary, to prevent ingress of water.
  • Page 14 Installation Guide / SolarRoof Terracotta Tile Adjust the vertical and horizontal positioning using the long hole in the Roof Hook and the loosely connected Z Module in the rail, as shown in the figure on the right. The roof hook should not protrude over the rail after the ±19mm adjustment.

  • Page 16 Installation Guide / SolarRoof Terracotta Tile Solution 2 (Apply Universal Clamps) Step 1: Twisting the head of the Universal Clamp changes the functionality from End to Inter Clamp as shown in the figure on the right. NOTE: Please ensure the Universal Clamp C-U/30/46 or Universal Clamp with Grounding Clip C-U/30/46-G is positioned correctly according to "Deployment of Grounding Clips"...
  • Page 17 Installation Guide / SolarRoof Terracotta Tile Step 4: When using as an Inter Clamp, click the Universal Clamp into the rail channel and slightly lift the framed PV Module to ensure the Grounding Clip is fully covered as shown in the figure on the right. Step 5: Loosely place the next framed PV Module into the other side of the Universal Clamp.
  • Page 18 Installation Guide / SolarRoof Terracotta Tile Apply one pre-assembled Grounding Lug per Rail. Slide the Grounding Lug into to the rail channel and fasten the bolt M8*25 with 16~20 N·m. Strip earthing cable (the maximum size is 10 mm2 ) and insert the conductor into the provided copper tube.
