5.2 Determining and measuring the position of solar panels
When determining the position of the solar panels on the at roof, it is very important to pay attention to the incidence
of sunlight both throughout the day and throughout the year. Shading from a chimney, trees and nearby buildings has a
negative effect on the yield of the solar panels.
Measuring and marking out
Calculate how much space you need based on your panel sizes.
If several rows of solar panels are installed in succession, an intermediate distance must be maintained due to
shadowing. The distance from the solar panels to the edge of the roof must be approximately 1/5 of the height of
the building with a minimum distance of 30 cm, due to the very turbulent wind currents in this zone *(see installation
drawing for the correct spacing).
Mark the outline of the panel eld on the roof with chalk or a marker.

5.3 Cleaning the roof
Sweep the roof clean with a broom.
Make sure that the place where the solar panels are to be installed on the roof is clean, dry and at. The presence of
gravel, sand, stones, algae, dust, etc. can lead to instability of the system and/or cause damage to the roof.
