Symbol Meaning

WARNING

This symbol indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.

NOTICE

This symbol indicates situations not related to personal injury.

COMMENT

This symbol indicates useful additional information.

Safety equipment

Always wear personal safety equipment and fall protection while installing Sunbeam Nova.

Safety instructions

Read and understand the instructions below before installing Sunbeam Nova.

WARNING

• Always follow the national safety regulations in the country of installation.

• Always use the configuration and ballast plan derived from the Sunbeam

Calculator software during installation.

• Always employ suitable safety measures on the roof such as fall

protection.

• Make sure the roof is free of obstructions and clean before installation.

• Check that the roof covering is in good condition and that the roof

structure is strong enough to support the complete solar energy system

as an extra load, in addition to the loads caused by wind, water and snow.

• Check that the roof covering can withstand the maximum point load of the

feet of the Sunbeam system. If necessary, the point load can be reduced

by using additional feet.

• If in doubt about any of the above, consult a structural engineer and/or

roofing contractor.

• Always keep a copy of the configuration and ballast plan and this manual

with the project documentation.

NOTICE

• Check that the delivery is complete before installation.

• Never place heavy pallets directly on a roof, the localised load can be very

high.

• Be careful with packages that can blow away and with sharp parts that

can damage the roof covering.

Preparation

Recommended tools

Preparing a configuration and ballast plan

WARNING

• Always use the Sunbeam Calculator software with every Sunbeam project, to generate a project-specific configuration and ballast plan.

• Always check that the actual weight of the tiles used matches what is shown in the configuration and ballast plan.

• Only systems installed according to a configuration and ballast plan from the current Sunbeam Calculator at the time of ordering are eligible for the Sunbeam

product warranty.

Prepare the configuration and ballast plan.

COMMENT

The configuration and ballast plan contains all the information regarding the installation of ballast in the form of tiles. Calculate the

position and quantity of ballast for your specific project using the calculator software.

Marking the field

Mark two sides of the field with chalk or string on the roof. Follow the configuration plan.

COMMENT

• Maintain the spacing to the roof edge as described in the configuration plan.

• Make sure the field is straight and perpendicular. Do this using a folding square or a laser.

TIP: If you don't have a folding square or laser, you can also draw a triangle that automatically becomes

perpendicular, by drawing out 2 straight sides of 3 and 4 metres and connecting them to a sloping side of 5

metres.

2. Place the sizing tool over the long side of a solar panel.

COMMENT

For Symmetrical Portrait, adjust the sizing tool on the short side

of the panel.

3. Slide the sliding blocks against the side of the solar panel and

screw in place.
