10.5 Above roof installation for sheet metal roofs
General information
Observe the information on securing collectors on page 97.
The fixing system comprises:
■ Mounting bracket
■ Mounting rails
■ Clamping brackets
■ Screws
The mounting brackets are secured with screws to the on-site sup-
port elements (matched to the individual sheet steel roof).
Mounting rails are fitted directly to the mounting brackets.

11.1 Determining the collector row spacing "z"
At sunrise and sunset (when the sun is very low), shading cannot be
avoided when collectors are arranged behind one another. To keep
the reduction in yield within acceptable parameters, observe specific
row spacing (dimension z) in accordance with VDI Guideline 6002-1.
When the sun is at its highest on the shortest day of the year
(21/12), the rows at the back should be free of shading.
The angle of the sun β (at midday) on 21/12 must be used to calcu-
late the row spacing.
In Germany, this angle lies between 11.5° (Flensburg) and 19.5°
(Constance), depending on latitude.

z = Collector row spacing
h = Collector height (for dimensions see chapter "Specification" for
the relevant collector)
α = Angle of collector inclination
β = Angle of the sun
Example:
Würzburg is approximately located on latitude 50° north.
In the northern hemisphere, this value is deducted from a fixed angle
of 66.5°:
Angle β = 66.5° − 50° = 16.5°
Example with Vitosol-FM/-F, type SH
h = 1056 mm
α = 45°
β = 16.5°
1056 mm · sin (180°– 61.5°)
