GENERAL INSTALLATION CONDITIONS
General
Failure to comply to the instructions stipulated in this manual may
result in a lapse of all warranty and product liability claims. The
information, notes and advice in this document are binding and
should be monitored to make sure they are complete and up to
date. Esdec B.V. reserves the right to make adjustments to this
document without prior notice.
Roof stability and condition
The roof should be in good condition and should be sturdy
enough to support the weight of the solar panels including any
accompanying materials, wind, and snow load. Check the stability
of the roof and adjust the roof/construction if necessary. In case
of doubt, please reach out for professional advice. Make sure the
roof load reserve is not exceeded anywhere.
Safety warnings
• Before you start the installation, you should know the material of
the corrugated sheets.
• This product is not suitable for sheets containing asbestos.
• The installation of the ClickFit mounting system should always
be performed by qualied technical sta (at least 2 competent
persons).
• The addition or omission of system parts can negatively impact
functionality and is strongly discouraged!
• Make sure the roof is clean, dry, even and free of algae etc.
before placing the solar panels.
• Avoid installation under strong winds and on a wet, slippery roof
surface.
• On pitched roofs, always use fall protection and, if necessary,
safety nets, edge protection and gangways.
• Wear shoes with reinforced toecaps and sturdy anti-slip soles.
• Always use the appropriate protective clothing when performing
activities.
• Always use a lifting aid/lifting installation to move the materials
(solar panels etc.).
• Always place ladders on sturdy, stable surfaces.
• Always place the ladder at a 75°-degree angle and make sure it
extends about 1 metre above the edge of the roof.
• If possible, secure the ladder at the top with a rope or lashing
strap.

2 INSTALLATION PREPARATIONS
3 ASSEMBLING THE RAILS (OPTIONAL)
1 DETERMINE THE ROOF CONDITION
2 POSITION THE SOLAR PANELS
3 MEASURING AND MARKING
1 DETERMINE THE TOTAL RAIL LENGTH & MOUNT THE
RAILS USING CONNECTOR PIECES IF NECESSARY
2 CONNECT THE RAILS UP TO THE TOTAL REQUIRED
RAIL LENGTH*
Note: Place the solar panels on a roof surface without
shade. Shade negatively aects the solar panel yield.
1. Calculate the space you need based on your panel dimen-
sions.
2. Maintain 30 cm of space around the panel eld (30 cm
from the ridge and gutter due to wind load).
3. Mark the intended location of the panel eld, the rails and
brackets.
Note: Make sure your roof is in good condition!
Note: For many cases it is not allowed to mount on
the ridge components. Please check with your roof
supplier.
Note: Dilatation (an interruption) is required for rail
lengths larger than 15 metres.
