Photovoltaic Panel Mounting System on Rooftops
The EUROPA SUN 5502 system represents our company’s premier solution for the installation of ground-mounted solar farms. It is a robust system, manufactured from high-strength aluminum profiles and fastening components that guarantee maximum structural stability and the longevity of the installation.
The system’s design fully complies with the most stringent requirements:
• Eurocode 1: For snow loads, wind actions, and thermal stresses.
• Eurocode 9: For the design of aluminum structures.
• EAK 2003: Full compliance with the Greek Antiseismic Code.
AT A GLANCE
The system utilizes U & L-section aluminum profiles for its support structure. The L-section profile serves as the horizontal beam, which is secured to the building’s flat roof (δωμα) using appropriate fasteners (depending on the specific project study).
The system’s superstructure consists of U-section aluminum profiles used to create the support triangles and the purlins (τεγίδες). The purlins are made of aluminum alloy profiles, complemented by specialized fastening components for both the purlins and the PV panels.
For the securing and tightening of all connections, stainless steel (A2-70) machine bolts, washers, and nuts are used throughout.
