SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Break hazard! PV modules may be damaged if stepped on�
Planning, installation and commissioning of the solar power system must only be performed
by qualified technical personnel� Improper execution can result in damage to the system and
endanger persons�
Electrical current hazard! Installation and maintenance of the PV modules must only be performed by
qualified technical personnel� Observe the safety instructions issued by the PV module manufacturer!

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Roof pitch and securing against slipping: Due to thermal linear expansion, so-called caterpillar
effects can occur� It has to be checked in each individual case whether an additional fixation
to prevent slipping is required� We recommend a basic fixation from a roof pitch > 5°�
In some circumstances, fixation should be carried out for minor slopes�
Thermal separation of the module blocks must be ensured�
The system must only be installed with ballasting according to the planning documents� The required
ballasting and related planning documents can be determined in the Schletter Configurator�
Check that the existing roofing has been adequately fixed�
Sufficient roof cover must be checked on site�

Info on positioning: As a general rule, the surface protection mat is to be placed under each module support�
Please check the maximum permissible surface pressure of the insulation installed on site�
Further surface protection mats can be fitted to reduce the surface pressure�
A 10-cm gap between the mats must be maintained to ensure the flow of rainwater�

VERSION A:
PLACING THE BALLAST BLOCKS ON THE FLOOR PROFILE
11 BALLASTING
During development with the Schletter Configurator, the planning is designed in such a way
that the ballast is initially to be placed exclusively on the floor profiles (Version A)�
Additional ballast profiles are only planned to accommodate the ballast in areas where the
required ballast is higher than the space under the photovoltaic modules (Version B)� The ballast
plan of the Schletter Configurator shows where additional ballast profiles are required�
In addition, the use of a gravel bed is possible (Version C)�

Slide in the second ballast profile up to
the vertical bar of the self-locking lug
Place remaining ballast blocks
Connecting the ballast profiles on the floor
profile is not possible� This must be done in
the open space between the floor profiles�
For a distance of 2,000 mm or more from
floor profile to floor profile, an additional
support must be installed centrally under
the ballast profiles� This consists of a floor
profile section and a surface protection mat�
Maximum weight on ballast profiles:
Floor profile spacing ≤ 2,000mm without support: 150 kg
Floor profile spacing > 2,000mm without support: 250 kg
