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.
CAUTION: INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT IS TO BE PERFORMED ONLY BY PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED
INSTALLERS. ANY ATTEMPT BY AN UNQUALIFIED PERSON TO INSTALL THIS PRODUCT COULD RESULT IN
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

damage to the fragile glass panels and threads on
the structure.
Cordless drill.
Drill or impact driver for driving roof material

INSTALLATION PLANNING
DETERMINING WIND TERRAIN CATEGORY
Terrain Category 2
Open terrain, including grassland with well scattered obstructions having heights generally from
1.5 meters to 5 meters. Examples include farmland or cleared sub-divisions with isolated trees
and uncut grass.
Terrain Category 3
Terrain with numerous closely spaced obstructions having heights generally from 3 meters to 10
meters. Examples include typical suburban housing or light industrial areas.

PLANNING THE MODULE AREA
Solar panels can be installed anywhere on the roof, as long as sufficient fixings are used. Higher wind
speeds are encountered at the edges of roofs and therefore more fixings are required in these areas.
For a tilted array, a roof can be divided into three zones, the internal zone, intermediate zone and the
edge zone. The width of these outer zones can be determined based on the length, width and average
height of the building. If fixings are located in the intermediate, edge or end zones, then the maximum
spacing to the next fixing must be reduced, as per the table in the certifications.
Determining the width of the edge and intermediate zones, ‘A’ the width of the edge and intermediate
zones, ‘A’, is determined by calculating each of the following values, and then using the smallest:
0.2 x B, 0.2 x D/H
Page 11
DESIGNING YOUR TILT SYSTEM
1. Width of the module
2. Length of ANTAISOLAR/ANTAI solar Rail: number of modules horizontally x (width of the module + 17 mm)
+70 mm
3. Distance between roof connections horizontally: Depending on the distance between rafters and on the
static requirement.
4. Cantilever Length: less than half of dimension 3
5. Distance between modules: 17 mm
6. Length of the module
7. Length of support: similar with the dimension 8
8. Front and Rear Space: 1200~1400mm
9. Adjustable degree: 10-15deg / 15-30deg / 30-60deg
Page 12
DETERMINE THE HEIGHT OF THE INSTALLATION SITE
This document provides sufficient information for ANTAISOLAR/ANTAI solar system installation
height less than 20 meters. If your installation site is more than 20 meters in height, please contact
ANTAISOLAR/ANTAI to obtain engineering data to support your installation.
VERIFY ACCEPTABLE RAIL END OVERHANG
Rail end overhang must equal 50 percent or less of foot spacing. Thus, if foot spacing is 1200mm, the
Rail end over hang can be up to 600mm. In this case, two feet can support a rail of as much as 2400mm
(1200mm between the feet and 600mm of overhang at each end).
DETERMINE ROOF SLOPE
ANTAISOLAR/ANTAI solar mounting system can be used for roof slope up to 60 degrees. This
document provides sufficient information for below 30 degrees, please contact ANTAISOLAR/ANTAI
solar for between 30 and 60 degrees.
DETERMINE THE MAXIMUM RAIL SUPPORT SPACING
Please use the table in engineering certificate to determine the ANTAISOLAR/ANTAI support spacing for
installations.
