Assembly Instructions - Groupe Atlantic Solar Plan 500V Manuel D'installation Et D'utilisation

Assembly instructions

The following regulations and directives must be observed for the assembly and the service :
- EN 12976 et EN 12977 : Thermal solar systems and compoments, - NF P50-601-1 : DTU 65.12 : Réalisation des
installations de capteurs solaires plans, - Cahier du CSTB 1827 : Cahier des prescriptions Techniques communes aux
capteurs plans.
General and transport instructions
Installation must only be carried out by qualified personnel. The entire information in these instructions is
intended exclusively for such qualified personnel. Only the supplied material should be used for the
installation. Prior to starting installation and operation of the solar collector system, please inform
yourself about the applicable local standards and regulations. We recommend using an assembly crane
for transporting the collector. The collector must only be lifted via the pre-mounted lifting rings and must
not be lifted at the connections. Avoid impacts and mechanical influences on the collector, in particular on
the solar glass, the collector rear panel and pipe connections.
Statics
The collectors may only be mounted on sufficiently load-bearing roof surfaces and substructures. It is
imperative that the static load bearing capacity of the roof or substructure is checked in terms of local
and regional conditions prior to installation of the collectors by the customer, if necessary through the
involvement of a structural engineer. Particular attention should be paid to the quality of the substructure
in terms of the stability of the screw connections necessary for fastening the collectors. The checking of
the entire collector structure by the customer as per DIN 1055 part 4 and 5 or as per the applicable
country-specific regulations is particularly important in areas with heavy snowfall (note: 1m³ powder
snow ~ 60kg / 1m³ wet snow ~ 200kg) or in areas exposed to high wind speeds (see table "Reactions to
requirements"). The assessment should also take into account any particular circumstances at the place
of installation (foehn wind, air jets or eddy formation etc.) which can lead to increased loads. As a rule,
collector arrays must be installed such that any possible collection of snow is prevented from reaching the
collectors by snow barriers (or through special forms of installation). The distance to roof ridges/edges
must be at least 1m.
Note: The installation of a collector array is an intervention into a (existing) roof; above all, converted
and inhabited loft spaces or roofs with less than the minimum slope (with regards to the covering)
require additional measures by the customer, e.g. sarking membranes, as protection against the
penetration of water through wind pressure and driving snow. With larger collector arrays, we
recommend installing the collectors on a special supporting structure made of steel channels.
Alternatively, it is possible to install the collectors without perforating the roof membrane by using
concrete ballast with guys. The collectors are mounted on concrete blocks. Rubber mats should be used if
necessary to protect the roof membrane against damage and to increase the friction between the roof
and the ballast blocks. If the dimensions of the concrete ballast blocks are adhered to as per the table
below, no additional securing through steel cables is required. If the total weight (total weight of the
concrete ballast blocks and maximum possible snow load) exceeds the static load bearing capacity of the
substructure, a combination of lighter concrete ballast blocks plus additional 5 mm steel cables (minimum
tensile strength 1450N/mm²) can be used for securing.
