Renusol FS10-EW Solar Panel Mounting Instruction Manual
General Guidelines
Mounting system for installing framed solar PV modules on flat roofs with a roofpitch of up to 3° without penetrating 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 determining ballast and depending on the local conditions.
Guideline values for the necessary ballast 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 regulations, 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 mats. The compatibility between the building protection mat and the roof membrane must be verified in advance.
Windreport
The pressure and suction coefficients are calculated on the basis of wind tunnel tests and are available from Renusol GmbH on request.
