3�2�3 Substructure
Solrif® battens measuring 120 mm × 30 mm are used as a substructure, which are screwed onto the existing roof construction
instead of or in-between the roof battens to which the tiles were attached. Minimum requirements for wood quality: Strength
category C24.
Notice
Plan an extra 10 % for cutting losses compared to the batten plan. In addition, keep some spare wood to
hand to equalize out any unevenness in the roof construction or to be able to implement connections
or linings. A wedge plank is necessary for the bottom gutter of the PV array, see Chapter
„Wedge Plank“
.
The bottom row of Solrif® battens must extend beyond the flashing sides by at least 150 mm respectively as an overlay for the
lead flashing, i. e. the length of the bottom row of Solrif® battens must be at least B
GL
+ 300 mm.
All other rows of Solrif® battens must extend beyond the flashing sides by at least 50 mm respectively, i. e. the length of the
other rows of Solrif® battens must be at least B
GL
+ 100 mm respectively.
