Handling and Installing ANTAISOLAR/ANTAI
It is critically important that safety practices are observed when installing
⚫ Do not throw or roughly handle any ANTAISOLAR/ANTAI components.
⚫ Do not bring ANTAISOLAR/ANTAI solar system into contact with sharp or heavy objects.
⚫ Do not modify ANTAISOLAR/ANTAI solar components in any way. The exchange of bolts, drilling of
holes, bending or any other physical changes not described in standard installation procedure will void
the warranty.
⚫ It is the installer’s responsibility to verify the integrity of the structure to which ANTAISOLAR/ANTAI
solar components is fixed. Roofs or structures with rotten/rusted bearers, undersized bearers,
excessively spaced bearers, or any other unsuitable substructure cannot be used with
ANTAISOLAR/ANTAI solar components, and installation on such structures will void the warranty, and
could result in death or serious injury.
Wind and Climate Design
AS/NZS1170.2.2011 provides guidance on determining the wind pressures applicable to your
ANTAISOLAR/ANTAI solar system install site, taking into account roof shape and geographic location.
Sufficient guidance is given in this document, but you may wish to procure a copy of these standards if
your company installs Australia/New Zealand wide.
⚫ REMEMBER average wind speeds are higher for structures mounted closer to the roof perimeter zone
(edge). Refer to ‘Fixing within Roof Installation Zone’ for more information)
⚫ Make sure your installation complies with local and national building codes. Take into account relevant
design parameters (wind speed, exposure and topographic factor) when determining the loading for
the installation.
⚫ If alternative fasteners are used to ix the framing to the roof (assuming supplied fasteners are
unsuitable for any reason), all screw fasteners must conform to corrosion resistance Class 4
Australian Standard AS3566 and be of equal or greater strength to those supplied with your
ANTAISOLAR/ANTAI solar system order.
