    Installation Guide / SolarRoof Tilt Legs Planning Determine the wind region of your installation site Wind regions map below shows 4 different wind regions in New Zealand: NZ1, NZ2, NZ3 and NZ4. The lee (effect) multiplier (M1ee) shall be evaluated for New Zealand sites in the lee zones below. In wind regions of NZ1 and NZ2 with M1ee over 500 m above sea level, the interface spacing reduction is applied.

  • Page 6 Please refer “SNZ TS 3404:2018 Durability requirements for steel structures and components” or consult local construction business to verify corrosivity category of installation site. If your installation site is not in the corrosion zones C1, C2 and C3, please contact Clenergy to obtain a project specific engineering certificate to support your installation.
  • Page 7 Installation Guide / SolarRoof Tilt Legs Determine Roof slope and Tilt Leg Angle The PV-ezRack® SolarRoof Tilt Legs system is suitable for rails running perpendicular to the roof slope (including standard and reverse tilt), and slope up to 10° for rails running parallel to the roof slope. Determine the Installation Area of Roof There are 4 different roof zones for tilt leg installation: Internal Zone, Intermediate Zone, Edge Zone and Corner Zone.

Fixed Tilt Legs Precautions during Stainless Steel Fastener Installation Improper operation may lead to deadlock of Nuts and Bolts. The steps below should be applied to stainless steel nut and bolt assembly to reduce this risk.
  • Page 19 Safe Torques Please refer to safe torques defined in this guide as shown in the figure below. If power tools are required, Clenergy recommends the use of low speed only. High speed and impact drivers increase the risk of bolt galling (deadlock). If deadlock occurs and you need to cut fasteners, please make sure that there is no load on the fastener before you cut it.

  • Page 21: Installation Instruction

    Installation Guide / SolarRoof Tilt Legs Installation Instructions Front & Rear Leg Installation Front Leg Installation According to the installation plan, determine the mounting position and direction of the front legs. Either two screws or single screw (Buildex 14-11 x 70 Hex Head Zips screw) is required depending on the installation spacing requirement. See two screws and single screw options in Figures 1 and 2.
  • Page 22 Installation Guide / SolarRoof Tilt Legs Rear Leg Installation According to the installation plan, after confirming the length L of the Rear Leg, fasten two M8*12 bolts as shown in Figure 4. Recommended torque for M8*12 bolts is 18~20 N·m Figure 4 According to the installation plan, either two screws or single screw (Buildex 14-11 x 70 Hex Head Zips screw) is used to install rear leg.
  • Page 23 Installation Guide / SolarRoof Tilt Legs Install the remaining Front and Rear Legs in Figure 10. NOTE: WHEN USING TIN INTERFACES FOR INSTALLATION WORKS, SCREWS NOT EXPOSED TO FREQUENT RAIN SHOULD BE WASHED DOWN WITH FRESH WATER AT LEAST EVERY 6 MONTHS TO MEET THE WARRANTY CONDITIONS OF BUILDEX SCREWS.
  • Page 24 Installation Guide / SolarRoof Tilt Legs Figure 14 Figure 15 PV Module Installation 1) Please refer PV-ezRack® Grounding System for PV modules clamps and grounding lugs installations. 2) The installers must ensure panel clamps are installed flush mounted to the panel frame and apply correct torque value of clamp fastener as shown in section "Safe Torques (P17)".
