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 loading.
Information regarding inclined roofs:
The assembly of a 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 recommend-
ed 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 must not be exceeded as a result of wind forces. 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.
