💡 Installation on a tile or slate roof

✔️ Flat roof or slope less than 5°
If your roof is almost flat (less than 5° of slope), you can install the Sunology station with a weighting system. This allows for a simple installation without fixings, while ensuring the stability of the panel.

⚠️ Slope greater than 5°
When the slope exceeds 5°, even with weighting, the panel may slide, especially in heavy rain or high winds. In this case, a specific mounting is recommended to ensure good adherence.

🔩 Mounting on a steel deck roof or pergola

✔️ Two possible options :

  • Weighting the Sunology station for a temporary installation or without drilling.
  • Wall mounting with a specific kit to ensure optimal support.

✔️ Slope between 5° and 30°
If your steel deck roof or your pergola has a moderate slope (up to 30°), it is essential to use a wall mounting kit to ensure the stability of the panel.

🔧 Installation on steel deck

  • The 4 fixings must be positioned on the peak of the steel deck wave to prevent any sagging.
  • Use suitable screws (not provided) available at hardware stores to ensure a solid and durable fixation.

🏡 Installing a Sunology station on a garden shed

If you want to mount your Sunology station on a garden shed, you need to screw the attachments of the mounting kit directly onto the frame (rafters).
⚠️ Important precautions:

  • Ensure that the covering remains watertight (shingle, bitumen membrane, etc.).
  • Secure the station firmly to avoid any risk of lifting by the wind.

📜 Regulation: is declaration at the town hall mandatory?

🚨 Any installation over 1.80 m in height must be declared at the town hall.

If your roof is more than 1.80 m above the ground, a prior declaration of work is mandatory. Before starting your installation, check with your town hall to avoid any administrative constraints.
