Frequently asked questions

We recommend concrete slabs measuring 30 cm x 30 cm or 40 cm x 40 cm.

Yes, commercially available stones can be used for ballasting according to the weight specifications in the planning documents. In Solar-Planit, you can define different ballast stones and get a clear list of which stones you need.

This is possible with the Flat Roof II system. Here we work together with partner companies.

Earthing connectors are mounted on the base rail and a contact plate for potential equalisation is inserted into the middle clamps.

For green roofs, we recommend our specially developed green roof system, which offers sufficient distance to the roof surface for plant growth and sliding snow thanks to its installation height.

Frequently asked questions

The module supports are made of recycled, UV-resistant plastic.

Yes, but this is not ideal and also involves considerably more effort than the recommended ballasting with substrate.

The distance depends on the ballast or substrate height.

Yes, this is possible in individual cases. Please get in touch with your BayWa r.e. contact person.

We recommend extensive greening and a substrate that has been specially developed for the combination of green roof and PV. Please contact your local green roof installer for more information.

FAQs

The PV system is mounted on corrugated roofs using stock screws and the novotegra standard C-rail.

After 8.5 metres, a separation must be made using an expansion joint or floating bearing.

Direct mounting on sandwich roofs is generally possible. However, the project-specific approval of the roof manufacturer must be obtained for this.

PV systems on sandwich roofs are connected using stock screws and our standard C-rail.

After 8.5 metres, a separation must be made using an expansion joint or floating bearing.

Yes, it is possible to install novotegra clamps on copper roofs. Oxidation between aluminium and copper can be prevented by using our stainless steel saddle.

A module field separation is required after each rail length (5.40 metres).

Our round seam and standing seam clamps can be used to cover many different seamed roofs (other clamps on request).
