3. Product Description The ClickFit mounting system consists of mounting brackets, mounting rails (double-layer cross-cross arranged) and the necessary installation materials to mount the solar panels in portrait setup on the roof. The ClickFit mounting system for corrugated iron can be used for all types of corrugated roofing, including the common fiber cement steel and corrugated iron.
5. Mounting preparation 5.1 Monitoring tools and accessories Here is a list of necessary tools / utilities: Measuring tape Brush Ratchet with hex cap Cordless Screwdriver S7 / S10 / S13 S7 / S10 Wrench (2x) Marker / chalk Scaffold or stable safe ladder Rev.
5.2 Determining position of solar panels and measuring In the determination of the position of the solar panels on the sloping roof, it is very important to pay attention to the sunlight coming in throughout the day and throughout the year. Place the solar panels on a roof surface which has no shadow. Shadow of a chimney, dormer, trees and nearby buildings have an adverse effect on the amount of energy generated by the solar panels.
6. Installation 6.1 Preinstalling suspension sockets onto solar panels Install per solar panel 2 suspension sockets at the rear of the solar panel (= same side as the connection box). First insert the RVS hex bolts M6x20 in the available holes in the frame and affix thereon the suspension sockets. Then install the M6 nuts.
6.3 Attaching hanger bolts On the basis of the position of the solar panels on the roof, you determine the position of the hanger bolts. Divide the hanger bolts equally in the line where the vertical mounting rails comes. The hanger bolts may be placed up to 1.5 m apart.
6.4 Attaching vertical mounting rails 1. Disassemble the hex bolts M8x20 of the hanger bolts and slide them with the head into the mounting rails. 2. Make sure that the end of the mounting rails protrudes min. 5 cm compared to the last hanger bolt and place the mounting rail with hexagon bolts M8x20 onto the hanger bolts.
6.5 Attaching horizontal mounting rails 1. Decide the positions on the vertical mounting rails where the horizontal mounting rails (incl. cross connectors) should come. The horizontal mounting rails are attached at 1/4 H of the top-panel and panel-mounted bottom edge, or a mutual distance of 2/4 H.
6.6 Hanging solar panels to mounting rail Temporarily hang the first solar panel using the preinstalled suspension sockets to the upper mounting rail. This will keep your hands free for the rest of the installation. Rev. 10.06.15 MANUAL MOUNTING SYSTEM FOR CORRUGATED ROOF...
6.7 Mounting 1st solar panel on mounting rail Slide the first solar panel to the side of the mounting rail. Then slide the end clamp onto the mounting rail. Choose the correct recess so that the end clamp connects to the solar panel.
6.8 Mounting other solar panels on mounting rails Hang the second solar panel on the horizontal mounting rail and slide it towards the first, until a gap remains of about 7mm. Then screw the mounting screw with a module clamping plate module into the mounting rail. The tightening torque of the screw connections is 4,5Nm.
6.9 Final assembly / multiple rows under each other Slide the end clamp onto the mounting rail. Choose the correct recess so that the end clamp connects to the solar panel. 2. Then tighten the end clamp with the mounting screw (tightening torque 4,5Nm). 3.
