Technical Specifications of Roof Solar Panel Structure
The roof solar panel structure is made using high-quality, durable raw materials. It utilizes 3mm thick profiles as the main components and uses A2-70 grade stainless steel parts for its connections. The washers and bolts used in this structure are made of hot-dip galvanized or zinc flake materials, which exhibit high corrosion resistance. To complete the setup, anodized aluminum clamps are used, ensuring high durability and strength for the structure.
In terms of dimensional specifications, the roof support base has adjustable feet that can be set between 10 to 15 cm. The rails used in this structure have a width of 40 mm and are designed in a standard 4-meter length to fit panel dimensions. This system allows installation of panels in both vertical and horizontal orientations.
Regarding load capacity, this structure can withstand a weight of 50 kg per square meter and is resistant to winds with speeds of up to 120 km/h. It can also withstand snow loads of up to 200 kg per square meter and is designed with a safety factor of 1.5.
In terms of technical features, this structure allows for angle adjustment from 15 to 45 degrees, with a maximum distance of 1.5 meters between its supports. With a service life of over 25 years, this structure is UV resistant and can withstand temperature fluctuations from -40°C to +85°C.
Installation Guide for Roof Solar Panel Base
Proper installation of the solar panel structure is crucial for the optimal performance and safety of your solar system. This guide outlines the installation steps.
Required Tools
To install the structure, the following tools are needed:
- 13mm and 17mm open-end and ring wrenches
- Metal and wood drills and drill bits
- Tape measure and level
- Marking pens
- Crosshead screwdriver
- Gloves and safety goggles
- Safety rope for working at heights
The installation of the roof solar panel structure is carried out in five main stages. By carefully following these steps, you can achieve a safe and standard installation.
Step 1: Preparing the installation surface, which includes a thorough inspection of the roof for strength and leaks, cleaning the installation area, marking installation points, and ensuring proper spacing between rows of panels.
Step 2: Installing the main supports, which begins with accurately drilling the mounting holes. Then, L-shaped supports are fixed with appropriate screws and plugs, and the installation points are sealed with specialized silicone. It is crucial to ensure that all supports are aligned.
Step 3: Installing the longitudinal rails, which involves attaching the rails to the L-shaped supports, adjusting the distance between them according to the panel dimensions, and tightening the connections with the correct torque. Ensuring the rails are level along their entire length is essential.
Step 4: Installing the middle and side clamps, with the side clamps positioned at the beginning and end of each row and the middle clamps placed at the designated intervals. Ensuring that all connections are securely fastened is vital.
Step 5: Installing the solar panels themselves, which must be carefully placed on the structure. This step involves ensuring a minimum 2 cm gap between panels, tightening the clamps with the proper torque, and conducting a final check on the strength of the connections.
Safety precautions must be followed throughout all installation stages. Using safety equipment for working at heights, ensuring the security of all connections, avoiding installation in unfavorable weather conditions, maintaining standard distances between panels, and having at least two people install the system are some of the most important safety measures to consider.
Final Inspection
After installation, the following should be checked:
- Ensuring all panels are level
- Confirming that all connections are secure
- Proper sealing of the support installation points
- Maintaining standard panel spacing
- Ensuring the panels’ surface is clean
