Your advantages / Product description

Advantages
  • Complete range of: long rails for easy alignment and mounting during installation; short rails for cost optimisation and no problems with thermal expansion.
  • Short rails with pre-assembled EPDM on the bottom ready for the installation.
  • Short rails are pre-drilled for installation with either ALG rivets or self-drilling screws.
  • The SolarMetal version L H50 110 mm EPDM AL is compatible with the installation of photovoltaic optimizers: the 50 mm height helps improving the ventilation of the modules.
Properties
  • Aluminium alloy EN AW 6060 T66 in accordance with EN 755-2:2013.
  • EPDM rubber gasket, 2 mm thick.
  • Please note: any oxidation stains are considered characteristic of aluminium. This in no way impairs the functionality of the product and is not covered by the warranty.

Application and approval

Applications
  • Installation of landscape oriented photovoltaic panels on trapezoidal sheet roofs.
Approval
  • TUV - R 60154136

Assembly instruction

Functionality
  • Choose between long and short rails depending on the installation layout and taking into account thermal expansion.
  • For long rails, determine the centre distance of the fastenings according to snow and wind loads (use SOLARPANEL-FiX software to design the system).
  • For short rails, use a fastener in each hole.
  • Only for long rails, stick a layer of CG INT butyl adhesive tape (minimum length 80 mm) on the trapezoidal metal sheet rib before applying and fastening the rail.
  • Position the rail on the trapezoidal metal sheet.
For fastening with ALG rivets:
  • Long rail: drill 5.5 mm both the rail and the metal sheet.
  • Short rail: drill 5.5 mm the metal sheet.
For fastening with Solar screws:
  • Long rail: drill 5.5 mm the rail and screw directly into the metal sheet;
  • Short rail: screw through the pre-drilled holes.
