Rail for photovoltaic systems on trapezoidal metal sheet roofs. Suitable for panels running along the long side parallel to the trapezoidal rails.
Rail SolarFlat
SolarFlat is an aluminium rail for PV panels mounting systems on trapezoidal metal sheets, suitable for portrait oriented modules. Application is fast, thanks to quick installation with ALG rivets, and convenient: the PV modules can be easily installed with clamps. Easy cross joints can be realized through the top groove of the rail using the FNC AL hammer head nut, the MW bracket and the SKS M 8 hexagonal head screw.
Complete range made of: long rails for an easy alignment and mounting during the installation; short rails for cost optimization and no issues related to thermal expansion.
Flat and wide base allows 2 fixing points on each rib.
Suitable for whole fischer clamps range.
Properties
Aluminium alloy AW 6060 T6 in accordance with EN 755-2:2013.
Application and approval
Applications
Installation of portrait oriented photovoltaic panels on trapezoidal sheet roofs.
Assembly instruction
Functionality
Choose between long rails and short rails depending on the installation layout and considering the thermal expansion.
Determine the centre distance of the fastenings according to the trapezoidal metal sheet geometry, snow and wind loads (use SOLARPANEL-FIX software to design the system).
Stick a layer of CG INT butyl adhesive tape (minimun lenght 80 mm) on the trapezoidal metal sheet rib before applying and fixing the rail.
Position the rail on the trapezoidal metal sheet.
In case of fastening with ALG rivets drill the rail and the sheet together with a 5.5 mm diameter bit.
In case of fastening with EPDM self-drilling Solar Screw, pre-drill the rail in advance, than place it on the sheet and screw in the self-drilling screw through the pre-drilled hole.
Seal rivets or screws with fischer SB - Bituminous Sealant.
