GB | General Guidelines
Mounting system for installing framed
solar PV modules on flat roofs with a
roofpitch of up to 3° without penetra-
ting the roof.
To be noted before installation
The FS10-EW is weighed down with
ballast (paving slabs etc.) in order to
resist wind loads. The required weight
of the ballast depends on the height
of the building, its location and the
condition of the installation surface in
addition to the magnitude of the wind
loads.
!
The coefficient of friction of at least
µ = 0.5 is observed. This is mandatory
prior to installation to determine on
site by the customer using a spring
balance and recorded. The coefficient
of friction is a component for deter-
mining ballast and depending on the
local conditions.
Guideline values for the necessary bal-
last can be calculated using Eurocode
1 (EN 1991).
Modules are always to be mounted in
landscape.
When mounted by the FS10-S/FS18-S
, modules are mounted in the corner
of the long sides. It must be checked,
whether the value specified by the
module manufacturer clamping range
is maintained.
Drain holes in PV module frame must
be kept clear and may not be obscured
by the mounting system.
The roof area must be free of snow, ice
and dirt during installation.
Be sure to observe the relevant regula-
tions, latest technology standards and
current health and safety guidelines
during installation.
A suitable subsurface that can absorb
any forces that may occur (weight,
wind and snow loads) is always a
prerequisite for use in accordance with
regulations. Water drainage on the
flat roof and its direction must also be
taken into consideration.
The roof covering must be suitable
for laying down building protection
!
The structural stability of the PV system
must be verified before installation. The
building construction, roofing and in-
sulation must withstand the additional
loads safely.
mats. The compatibility between the
building protection mat and the roof
membrane must be verified in ad-
vance.
Windreport
The pressure and suction coefficients
are calculated on the basis of wind
tunnel tests and are available from
Renusol GmbH on request.
