3 General user instructions solar mounting systems Congratulations on buying the ValkQuattro mounting system and on helping the environment by deciding to install solar panels. The ValkQuattro mounting system is an universal mounting system that can be used to install 4 standard solar panels in a landscape set-up one above the other, with a tilt angle of 10, on a flat roof with a height up to 10 m. The components supplied do not include the additional ballast required, which will be a number of tiles. The weight of tiles required per position, per type of solar panel, per roof area and per building height is specified in the tables on page 6 of this document. Safety instructions The ValkQuattro mounting system shall be installed on roofs and will be exposed to wind and snow. The building in question will be subject to a greater load as a result of the solar system. design calculation must be used to establish whether or not the building in question will be able to withstand the extra load. Where necessary, modifications need to be made. When installing the ValkQuattro mounting system, the instructions provided in this user manual must be observed at all times. Read this manual carefully and keep it in a safe place. lso follow the instructions stated in the manuals of the other system components that form part of the overall solar system. ll current structural, safety and building regulations must be observed. Van der Valk Solar Systems B.V. will never be liable for any direct and/or indirect intangible or consequential loss ensuing from or connected to the failure to observe the instructions provided in this manual.

4 Types of roof The ValkQuattro mounting system can be used to mount panels on flat roofs. The following starting points apply: Type of roof covering: bitumen, EPDM and concrete (for the ballast applicable per type of roof covering, see the tables on page 6 of this document). Before installing the ValkQuattro mounting system, make sure that you carefully sweep the roof area. The ballast calculation for the ValkQuattro mounting system (see page 5 of the manual) only applies for flat roofs and roofs with a slight pitch of up to 5. bove this roof pitch, the system should be attached to the roof securely. Ballast The ValkQuattro mounting system needs to be supported by ballast, to make sure that the system is unable to move, lift or tip over. See page 6 (Selection table) of this document for details of how many ballast should be used for each type of solar panel, each region, each type of roof covering and for each building height (subject to a maximum of 10 m). The weight specified per position will be vital to ensure that the mounting system can be used safely. To achieve this, follow the instructions on the ballast required on page 5 of this document. Position Restrictions also apply for the position of the system on a roof. The solar panels must be installed at a certain distance from the edge of the roof. ccording to the current standard, NEN-EN , this free edge zone is 1/5 of the height of the roof. So, if a roof is 6 metres high, a free edge zone of 120 cm will be necessary.

5 Ballast requirements G1 G2 General The ValkDouble mounting system must be weighted down by tiles, which will be placed at position G2. Start by choosing the wind area in which the system will be installed from the overview on page 6. Next, look at the table for the panel length in question. In this table, you will choose the relevant type of roof covering. Bitumen and EPDM have a higher frictional resistance and it will be possible to use less ballast for this type of roof covering. Next, choose the table for the wind area in question and the row for the building height applicable. This will show you the weight necessary for position G2.

6 Selection table: Minimum number of kilograms per position G2. Based on: * Category: Town (sites more than 1km inside town boundary - area where at least 15% of the surface is covered with buildings with an average height above 15m) * Distance to shoreline: >10km * Maximum height above sea level: <100m
