General Information
We are delighted that you have chosen our product. With this high-quality, high-performance product, you have made an
excellent selection. We wish you successful operation and many sunny days. Please read this manual carefully before installation
and commissioning, as it contains important information for proper installation and for safety.
After the commissioning has been successfully completed, the assembly instructions must be handed over to the end customer.
We would like to point out that proper function can only be guaranteed if: 1) you have annual maintenance carried out by quali-
fi ed experts, 2) the instructions mentioned in this manual and 3) the stated operational recommendations are observed,
and 4) the original accessories or spare parts are used.
1.1. Expert Persons (assembly, commissioning, maintenance and troubleshooting)
"Expert persons" are exclusively those persons who are qualifi ed and certifi cated installers (in the case of electrical components:
Electricians) with current trade registrations. All the activities listed in these installation instructions must, without exception,
be carried out by these expert persons.
1.2. General Storage and Transport Instructions
The system components must not be stored unprotected outdoors; especially the system connections and the aeration/ventilation
openings must be protected from water ingress and contamination, such as dust, etc.
The system or the storage tank must not be lifted up by the connectors or screw threads; avoid impacts and mechanical infl u-
ences on the system components, in particular on the solar glass, system back panel, pipe connections and storage tank sheath.
1.3. General Installation Instructions
Installation may only be carried out by a qualifi ed professional. The instructions provided here are directed at qualifi ed
professionals only. The supplied materials must be used for installation. Prior to installing and operating the SUNPAD system,
familiarise yourself with the locally applicable standards and regulations.
Structural Engineering Aspects
The system may only be installed on a roof surface or substructure with suffi cient load-bearing capacity. The static load-bear-
ing capacity of the roof or substructure must be checked in accordance with local and regional stipulations on site prior to the
assembly of the systems. In particular, it is important to check whether the quality of the (wooden) substructure is suffi cient to
ensure the durability of the screw connections for attaching the system mounting apparatus.
The on-site inspection of the system (system and attachment apparatus) as per EN 1991 and/or country-specifi c regulations is
particularly important in areas prone to high winds.
When doing this, you need also to investigate all the peculiarities of the erection location (prevailing winds (foehn),
venturi effects, eddies, etc.) that may lead to locally increased load.
Information regarding inclined roofs:
The assembly of a SUNPAD system constitutes an intervention in an (existing) roof. Roof cladding such as tiles, shingles and
slate, attics with a special construction or that are used for residential purposes, and roof pitches that are below the minimum
recommended value require (in relation to the cladding) additional constructions measures to protect against the penetration
of water as a result of wind force and driving snow. This might include sub-roof membranes, for example. When selecting the
installation site, note that the maximum permissible loads due to wind forces must not be exceeded. To prevent impermissible
wind loads, the collectors must not be installed at the edge of a roof (e/10 edge zones as per EN 1991, but with a minimum gap
of 1 m). In particular, in the case of elevated structures, the top of the system must not protrude above the roof ridge.
Information regarding fl at roofs:
The installation of a SUNPAD system constitutes an intervention in an (existing) roof. Attics with a special construction or that are
used for residential purposes and roof pitches that are below the minimum recommended value require (in relation to the clad-
ding) additional construction measures to protect against the penetration of water as a result of wind force and driving snow.
This might include sub-roof membranes, for example. When selecting the installation site, note that the maximum permissible
loads due to wind forces must not be exceeded. To prevent impermissible wind loads, the panels must not be installed at the
edge of a roof (e/10 edge zones as per EN 1991, but minimum gap of 1 m). In the case of larger system fi elds, we recommend
that you mount the SUNPAD system on a separate bearing structure made from steel profi les.
