Mounting
System PVclick (short version)
www.germanpv.com
The mounting system PVclick is a lay-on system that was
especially developed for on-roof installation.
The application of the system is designed for rafter
spacing between 0.5 m up to *1.8 m (* see long version).
Depending on the roof cladding in situ, one or several roof
tiles have to be taken out of the brick bonding for instal-
ling the rafter anchors (1).
For precise installation of the rafter anchors, the area of the anchor brackets has to be ground either on one or on both sides, depending on the type of roof tile. Particular attention has
to be paid to the completely planar application of the anchor flange plate onto the rafter (optimal distribution of the load into the background construction).The rafter anchor included
in the delivery (1) is suitable for standard battens 30 x 50 mm. Stronger battens (e.g. 40 x 60) require the installation of laminar pitch elements (e.g. plywood, laminated paper).
The system components of the mounting system PVclick are made of aluminium, stainless steel (A2) and synthetic materials. The system profiles are delivered in powder coated design
coloured matt black. The distance of the installed generator surface to the outer perimeters of the roof (ridge, eaves, gable board) has to be considered, especially regarding increased
suction forces in the corners and on the edges or the existence of exterior lightning protection (arrester on the roof, gable board).
The rafter anchors (1) have to be arranged within the levelled
down area of the roof tiles. The bore holes for fixing the an-
chor plates should align on the rafter as centred as possible
Three wafer-head screws M8 x 100 (2) fasten the rafter an-
chor (1) to the rafter.A cordless screwdriver with bit holder
(Torx 40) is a suitable tool for this.
Important: Mounting several rafter anchors on one rafter
requires their vertical alignment.
The optional installation of tin roofing tiles (if available in the product range) below the rafter anchor minimises the risk of potential cracks in the roof tile due to high loads (snow-
intensive zones) and therefore is recommended.

Important notice!
Before carrying out the installation procedures described
below, the professional association rules for health and
safety at work BGR 203 (roof work), the DIN EN 516 provisi-
ons for accessing the roof, the guidelines for selection and
use of roofing battens and planks of the construction indu-
stry's professional associations and all other regional gui-
delines and regulations reflecting the state of technology
are to be appropriately taken into consideration. Before
mounting a PV system, the suitability of the roof construc-
tion and the arrangement of fastening points (fixed points)
for directing the load into the background construction
have to be verified in a structural analysis, for which the
building owner is responsible. GermanPV GmbH is not liable
for the suitability of the roof background construction. The
mounting system PVclick was tested and verified in a struc-
tural analysis on the basis of the standard DIN 1055 Part 4
and Part 5 for application in wind load zones 1-4, snow load
zones 1-2a, altitudes above sea level of up to 999 m and
roof slopes between 15° - 45°. For more detailed informa-
tion on the application conditions of the mounting system
please refer to the long version (www.germanpv.com).

The frictional connection between the anchor profiles (6)
and the module insertion profiles (7) is made with
clamping claws (5), which are provided as prefabricated
units. (Max. tightening torque * 20-25 Nm; ** 25-30 Nm)
The horizontal linking of the module insertion profiles (7)
with each other is also made by prefabricated profile
connectors (4), which are likewise available for the
connection to the anchor profiles (6).
Additional supporting rails for reducing a potential
extended bending of the modules under great snow
loads can be installed optionally (only upon request).
The insertion of the PV modules
takes place preferably from the top (ridge) to bottom
(eaves) and from left to right. The insertion of all further
PV modules takes place at a distance of approx. 0.4 m to
the previous PV module.
The working space between the PV modules provides for
comfortable handling to connect the PV cables between
the PV modules. You then join the PV modules to abut
each other. A closed surface is created.
Attention!
A separate manual is available for the electric installation
and commissioning of a PV facility, which you can find in
the GermanPV documentation series.
The installation of module insertion profiles (7) should
begin only after all anchor profiles (6) have been
fastened. Mounting the module insertion profiles (7)
should preferably take place from left to right and from
the eaves in direction ridge.
All system profiles of the cross mounting system consist
of basic and extension profiles identical in form but diffe-
ring in length.
The basic profiles (first profile as of eaves) of the anchor
profiles (6) are connected with a rafter anchor (1) in two
positions. Conversely, every further extension profile in di-
rection of the roof ridge requires only one anchor position.
The number of module rows arranged one above each
other consequently determines the number of extension
profiles. Profile connectors (4) feature as connecting links
between anchor profiles (6).
After complete installation of the first row of module
insertion profiles (7), work on the next row in direction
roof can commence. Distance rails (included in the
delivery) provide for the exact pitch between the module
insertion profiles (7).
After the complete installation of all module insertion
profiles (7), it has to be made sure, that the PV return
lines (string inverters) are fastened to these module
insertion profiles (7) (clips included in the delivery).
