1. Introduction

.. Short Description

The Pitched ProLine on-roof system is a robust

mounting system for the installation of PV modules on

pitched roofs.

It consists of aluminium support rails and all necessary

small parts for the fastening of the rails to the roof, the

modules on to the rails as well as for the connection

of the components with each other. Pitched ProLine

allows for both portrait and landscape installation of

the modules.

. About the Installation Instructions

In the following chapters all steps for the planning

and mounting of the Pitched ProLine are listed in the

correct sequence. Chapters , ,  and  describe the

mounting steps of the modules, chapters – describe

the mounting steps for other material and installation

variations.

Please adhere to the mounting steps listed and be

ensure to follow the safety instructions.

Risk of fatal injury from

damage to roof

Excessive loads can severely

damage the roof.

• Before mounting and installation,

please make sure that the building

and especially the roof cladding

meets the increased structural

requirements for the PV system

and the mounting operation.

Risk of fatal injury from

falling objects

Parts falling from the roof can result

in serious injuries or death.

• Before commencing with the

installation, please ensure that

the material used meets the

structural requirements of the site.

DANGER

Installation manual Pitched ProLine

4. Planning the Module Area

For installation, the base rails are fastened to the

rafters or purlins (for metal roofs) of the building with

roof fasteners (e.g. roof hooks). The roof fasteners must

be mounted at deﬁned distances, depending on the

distance of the rafters/purlins, the position on the roof

and on the on-site conditions*. The layout is deﬁned

using a conﬁguration tool or project-related structural

analyses.

* Layout required according to local conditions in

accordance with Eurocode -DIN EN --/

Eurocode -DIN EN --.

Risk of fatal injury from

damage to roof

Excessive loads can severely

damage the roof.

• Before mounting and installation,

please make sure that the

building and especially the roof

construction meets the increased

structural requirements resulting

from the PV system and the

assembly operation.

Risk of fatal injury from

falling objects

Parts falling from the roof can result

in serious injuries or death.

• Before any mounting or

installation, please make sure

that the material used is suitable

for the building structure and

meets the structural requirements

applicable on-site.

• Do not perform any work in strong

winds.

Risk of fatal injury from

falling objects

Parts falling from the roof can result

in serious injuries or death.

ground prior to the mounting work

to prevent falling objects injuring

persons.

• Ensure that no parts can fall off

the roof.

• Please wear the statutory

protective equipment.
