1�1 Information on this Manual
This manual describes the procedure for the in-roof mounting of BISOL BIPV modules as well as for replacing BISOL BIPV modules
with Solrif® in-roof mounting system. With in-roof mounting, the PV array substitutes any existing tile roofing. However, tile
roofing remains around the PV array. In addition, this manual provides instructions on the maintenance of BISOL BIPV modules
with Solrif® in-roof mounting system and their disposal.
Supplementary Documents
Delivery note with article numbers and description of all components delivered.
Limit
• The installation of full-roof PV systems (the roof is covered completely with photovoltaic modules or dum my modules, no
tiles are left on the roof) is possible, but is not the subject of this installation manual.
• For connection of the PV array to the inverter, please refer to the inverter supplier’s documentation.
This manual is intended for craftspeople who have completed their vocational training in the roofing trade. Furthermore, the
craftsman must also have acquired either an additional qualification for the installation of photovoltaic systems or have many
years of experience in the installation of photovoltaic systems. With regard to adhering to maintenance procedures, this manual
is also directed at the operator of the photo voltaic system.
Before carrying out any work, the implementing or supervising person must:
