5.1 Flat surface installation
IMPORTANT
● Do not remove the protection film until the system is to be
commissioned.
● With due regard to the complete weight of the solar
collector system, (refer to technical data) ensure the
surface is flat and has a sufficient load carrying capacity.
● Ensure that a roof surface is adequately protected and
watertight.
The flat surface frames allow the collectors to be installed at
an angle of 30°, 45° or 60°.
The mounting rails can be adjusted to compensate for floor
irregularities.
5.2 Ballast and frame weight
Define the necessary load required to secure the frame and
collector, refer to Table 5.1.
For the required space and the distances among collectors,
refer to Table 5.2.
