Roof requirements
- Trapezoidal sheet metal thickness
- Aluminium ≥ 0,5 mm (with a tensile strength of 165 N/mm²)
- Steel ≥ 0,4 mm (S235 acc. DIN EN 10025-1)
- Min. 22 mm crest width (The project-specific minimum high crest width dimension can be found in the Base report. It depends on the crest distance.)
- High crest distance 101 - 350 mm
- Flush area surrounding the bore hole: ≥ 20 mm
- Roof pitch regularly: 5 - 75°
Structural requirements
- The static verification of components is automatically calculated for each location using our Base planning software
- Sufficient holding force of the roof covering on the support or substructure
Important mounting instructions
- On-site general standards and regulations for lightning protection must be observed and consultation with a specialist to create a lightning protection concept is recommended (use lightning protection clamp if necessary).
- MiniFive elevation: The exact mounting angle deviates slightly from 5° depending on the module width. This angle decreases with higher module widths.
- We recommend a thermal separation after maximum of 17.6 m.
- If the trapezoidal sheet is fastened with storm washers, please do not fasten the MiniRails on the storm washers! Spacing must be measured beforehand.
- Module frame heights
- K2 Clamps: 25 - 40 mm
- OneMid/OneEnd: 30 - 42 mm
- Adhere to module manufacturer recommendations for clamping area and module installation (see module manufacturer instructions) – tightening torque 14 Nm with M8 screw.
- Fasten the MiniRail to trapezoidal sheets with building approved self-tapping screws.
- No pre-drilling required! Predrill only with over- lapping sheets to reduce spacing.
