    OK, but .. A key process of glueing base rails to roof was totally ignored

      Was thinking a heavy winds. Is it going to blow off

      Is it glued? I definitely would not perforate the roof because water would leak in.

      I don't think that it was glued. It uses just it's own weight

      Watched the video purely to see how he glued it down, amazed this was ignored.

    Isn't it supposed to be mounted at an angle?

    At 8:09, you mention earthing and loading of the base rails. Could you make another video to show how that works or walk through the manual about the process?

    You're a genius, thank you for sharing. I have a flat roof best video tutorial.

    What is your output from how many watt solar panels pitched at zero degrees?

    How do you maintain the membrane with this installation? In South Africa it needs to be done at least every 3 years..

    They don’t show wire management prep

      Only one small shot of untying the inter connections. In the end two cables (a+ wire and a-wire), so all panels are in series, looks a lot to me. Perhaps the created 3 strings of 4 panels in series and connected the 3 string already in parallel on the roof. Tying all interconnections to the frame, so free from the roof where water will rule. Also not shown is how this is done and how the wires to the inverters are guided through the roof or wall.

    What happens when the roof needs replacing? Can it take all the weight?

  • @bigtorrisi
    @bigtorrisi ปีที่แล้ว

    So being that the panels are flat rather than at an angle, they get sun east to west, rather than just where they are pointing.

    How did you mount the panels to the roof? Did you have to penetrate the membrane? I have a similar setup and would love to do something similar. How can I contact you?

    • @knowimpact3616
      @knowimpact3616  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The schletter structure is weighted as described in the installation manual of the product. the membrane is not perforated. You can see in the video that the base rails are placed on the soft blocks. ok ?

    • @cookie4884

      know impact thanks. How much weight would you say that the total system with ballast is? Can you recommend a supplier?

      @@knowimpact3616 surely its not just using weight to stay on the roof?
      Is there adhesive on both sides of the rail protector?
      If so, it would need to be pretty strong to handle storm winds getting under the panels. I'm not sure if have the confidence in it.

      Great video, but how do you secure it to the roof? I dont see how just the weight of the structure wouod do it. Any strong wind will take it

      @@albertofernandez9798 I have a few panels on my flat roof (unsecured) and have been through storms without the slightest movement. These panels linked together are going to be extremely heavy, drag efficient and wont move during strong winds.

      How the solar system attach to the flat roof? Glued or mechanically attached? Thanks for answering

    I've been told the its against planning permission to install solar panels on a flat roof, I've even googled it
