2. Determine the installation area on the roof
Chiko Mounting system may be installed anywhere on a roof but fixing centres are required to be
reduced at ridges and edges. The diagram below shows the area of higher wind within a (minimum of
0.2a and 0.2b) of a roof edge or ridge (where b and d are the plan dimension of the building).
The following table will help you determine the maximum rail support spacing for your project.
Also note that if the roof slope is less than 10 degree the reduction on spacing does not apply.
3. Determine the height of the of your installation site
This document provides sufficient information for Roof system installation height less than 20 meters.
If your installation site is more than 20 meters in height, please contact Chiko Solar to obtain
engineering data to support your installation.
