1 Introduction The S:FLEX PV mounting system for sheet metal/standing seam roofs is a fastening system for the installation of PV modules. It is possible to both horizontally and vertically mount the modules using the S:FLEX mounting system. Both single layer installation and double layer installation are possible. Furthermore, both framed and frameless PV modules can be mounted. The S:FLEX PV mounting system for sheet metal/standing seam roofs is characterised by a high degree of pre-assembly. The patented and proven click technology allows a maximum reduction in fitting times. All components are manufactured from aluminium and stainless steel. The high corrosion resistance guarantees a maximum lifespan and provides the possibility of complete recycling. 1.1 Intended use The S:FLEX PV mounting system for sheet metal/standing seam roofs is a fastening system for the installation of PV modules. It is exclusively designed to accommodate PV modules. Any use that deviates from this must be regarded as not the intended use. In particular, the observation of the information in these installation guidelines counts as intended use. S:FLEX GmbH is not liable for damages that result from not observing the installation guidelines or from the improper and not intended use of the product. 1.2 About the document The S:FLEX PV mounting system for sheet metal/standing seam roofs allows the installation of PV systems parallel to the roof. These installation guidelines describe the installation using standing seam clamps and mounting rails. This is possible for: Sheet metal/standing seams (if the manufacturer approves) It is to be ensured that only the current and complete installation guidelines are used for the installation.

1 Introduction 1.3 Warnings The warning notices used in these installation guidelines indicate safety related information. They are: Severe risk of injury and danger to life if not observed. Failure to observe may lead to damage to property. 1.4 General information Before starting work on the roof, it must be verified that all currently valid accident prevention regulations are observed and that adequate protection is provided against falling parts (e.g. occupational health and safety regulations of the German national association of roofers (ZVDH)). Before installation, the PV system maker must ensure that the existing roofing and roof substructure are suitable for the occurring additional loads. The condition of the roof substructure is to be examined by the maker (e.g. quality and strength of the purlins, if necessary the rafters and the roof battens, quality of the roofing, sufficient fastening of the roofing to the substructure, maximum load bearing capacity of the roofing). Installation should only be carried out by skilled workers who work in accordance with the rules of the German national association of roofers (ZVDH). Before the installation of the substructure, it must be verified that the module manufacturer s specifications regarding module clamps (e.g. width and type of clamp, mounting guidelines for the clamp on the module) are observed. If this is not the case, the customer must obtain a declaration of consent from the module manufacturer before the installation, or the frame must be adjusted according to the module manufacturer s guidelines. The requirements for the protection of PV mounting systems against lightning and surges are to be met in accordance with the DIN and VDE regulations (e.g. DIN EN 62305-1-4, DIN V V E V 0100 Part 534, VdS guidelines 2010). The specifications of the relevant power supply company are to be observed. During installation, fire protection regulations are to be observed, e.g. no firewalls are to be overbuilt. If the roofing is altered, the manufacturer s guidelines are to be observed. During and after the installation, the frame components may not be stepped on or be used as a climbing aid. There is a risk of falling and the roofing underneath it could be damaged. S:FLEX GmbH 10/2014 / design and engineering is subject to change 4

1 Introduction 1.5 Installation The installation guidelines are for the installation of the S:FLEX PV mounting system on sheet metal/standing seam roofs. The installation guidelines are intended for a group of people with relevant qualifi cations and who have been instructed by the operator of the PV system. Please note: The installation should only be carried out by skilled workers who work in accordance with the rules of the German national association of roofers (ZVDH). System components (roof hooks, mounting rails) are not to be used as step ladders; the modules must not be stepped on. When installing PV systems on roofs with corrugated metal roofing, the admissibility of the installation is to be ensured and, if necessary additional sealing measures in the area of the fastening to the roof membrane are to be implemented. S:FLEX GmbH 10/2014 / design and engineering is subject to change 5

1 Introduction 1.6 Standards and guidelines These installation guidelines are based on current technology and many years of experience of how our systems can be installed on site. As individual project-related specifics must be considered for every roof, expert advice must always be sought before installation. Before installation, the maker of the photovoltaic system must ensure that the existing roof substructure is suitable for the occurring additional loads. To do this, contact structural engineers locally. Every photovoltaic system must be mounted in accordance with the structural requirements of the location and the installation situation while observing the specifications in these installation guidelines. It must be ensured that only current and complete installation guidelines are used for the installation and that a printout of the installation guidelines is kept in the immediate vicinity of the system. Subject to technical modifications. While installing the PV system, the module manufacturer s mounting instructions, the corresponding standards, accident prevention regulations as well as any further regulations and provisions must always be observed. The documents listed in the following are information from S:FLEX GmbH and make no claim to be exhaustive. Every person who installs the S:FLEX PV mounting system has to independently inform themselves of all rules and guidelines for the technically correct planning and installation and observe them during the installation. This also includes obtaining the current version of the rules and guidelines.

Direct installation with framed PV modules 2.2 Direct roof fastening using clamps S:FLEX components which are directly clamped to the roofing can be used for the roof fastening for roofing with standing seam sheet metal (approval from the manufacturer required). These fastenings are possible for pitched roofs with a tilt angle of up to 10. When installing the standing seam clamps, it is to be ensured that they are used to in a sufficient number in order to safely transmit the occurring forces to the roofing and the construction under it and to guarantee the impermeability of the roofing. 2.3 Installation for direct module installation Installation 1 (positioning as lower layer) The positioning of the standing seam clamps must be determined according to the structural requirements of the location and the installation situation. In doing so, it must again be checked whether the measurements taken as a basis in the planning match the actual measurements found on the roof (if necessary, adjustments must be made). The position of the standing seam clamps must be checked against the module s prescribed clamping distances. The distance between the standing seam clamps in the direction of tilt is L = width of module + 20 mm (see fig.). The distance between the standing seam clamps parallel to the eaves depends on the distance between the standing seams. Thus, it can happen that the clamping area foreseen as standard by the module manufacturer cannot always be observed. If this is the case, approval from the module manufacturer is required. L = module width + 20 mm Check the basis of the plans. Fastening up to 10 roof tilt is possible. Distance between standing seam clamp in tilt direction is L = width of module + 20 mm. Positioning according to the structural requirements and the installation situation Align the standing seam clamps using a plumb line 6 Screw in evenly in final position (torque 15 Nm) Mount the standing seam clamps. In doing so, ensure the compatibility of the materials of the clamp and roofing. It is to be ensured that the standing seam clamp neatly covers the seam (observe the clamp s inner jaw size) and force fits (clamping area: thickness of seam 3 to 8 mm). Tighten the screws evenly in their final position (torque 15 Nm). An EPDM tape is bonded to the underside of the standing seam clamps in order to avoid scratches to the roofing during the installation.

Direct installation with framed PV modules For single layer substructures, if the module array vertical to the eaves is longer than 12.00 m, it is to be separated by placing a standing seam clamp with end clamps. The alignment of the expansion joints is to be adjusted according to the structural conditions of the roof and the different expansion properties of the materials. Observe the instructions in Section Installation 2 in these installation guidelines when placing the end clamps. Modules may not be built over expansion joints. There is no connection to earth. This must be established without limiting the expansion joint s mode of operation. Completion of the installation of the standing seam clamps. In the following, the column for column installation of the modules from top to bottom is described. The installation can also be carried out from bottom to top if the location requires it and the installation situation allows for it. In the case of installation from bottom to top, for roof tilts of more than 5, a slider lock is to be pushed on to each standing seam clamp and tightened (torque 8-10 Nm) before the module installation. Ensure that all slider locks are fixed in a horizontal line. The end clamps are then clicked on to the standing seam clamps and pushed on to the slider locks.
