3 1. General information AASolar Flat Roof Mounting System AASolar PVTilt system, has been developed as a universal PV module mounting system for flat roof or open space ground installation. The innovative and the high degree of pre-assembly eliminate the need for on site cutting, welding and enables quick and easy field PV module installation. AASolar PVTilt system features series of highly engineered new innovative product, designed withexperienced engineers to the speed of installation. Figure 1: AASolar PVTilt system Benefits of PVTilt System: Easy Installation Diversified Application High Accuracy Choice Quality Engineered to highest standards Maximum Lifespan Guaranteed durability -3-

4 2. Safety and Installer Responsibilities Caution Installation of this product is to be performed only by professionally trained installers. Any attempt by an unqualified persontoinstall this product could result in death or serious injury. 2.1 Handling and Installing» It is critically important that safety practices are observed when installing Do not throw or roughly handle any AASolar components. Do not bring AASolar system into contact with sharp or heavy objects. Do not modify AASolar components in any way. The exchange of bolts, drilling of holes, bending or any other physical changes not described in standard installation procedure will void the warranty. It is the installer s responsibility to verify the integrity of the structure to which AASolar components is fixed. Roofs or structures with rotten/rusted bearers, undersized bearers, excessively spaced bearers, or any other unsuitable substructure cannot be used with AASolar components, and installation on such structures will void the warranty, and could result in death or serious injury. 2.2 Combination of snow and wind AASolar PVTilt system provides guidance on determining the wind pressures applicable to your install site, taking into account roof shape and geographic location. REMEMBER average wind speeds are higher for structures mounted closer to the roof perimeter zone (edge). Refer to Fixing within Roof Installation Zone for more information) Make sure your installation complies with local and national building codes. Take into account relevant design parameters (wind speed, exposure and topographic factor) when determining the loading for the installation. If alternative fasteners are used to fix the framing to the roof (assuming supplied fasteners are unsuitable for any reason), all screw fasteners must conform to corrosion resistance Class 4 Australian Standard AS3566 and be of equal or greater strength to those supplied with your AASolar system order. -4-

5 3. Technical Specifications 3.1 Applications Commercial and residential buildings Marine applications and remote areas Caution Refer to the section Designing Your System before attempting installation. Failure to correctly establish the requirement of the proposed installation site is dangerous and will void the framing warranty. 3.2 Features 6005-T5 Aluminum extrusion Innovated designed of the Tilt-in modules, which can be pre-assembly with the clamp, make the installation easy and quick. Suitable for difference conditions and the most solar panels at present market. Significantly higher strength-to-weight ratio than other framing products, providing improved efficiency due to greater frame spans, inherent corrosion resistance resulting in low ongoing maintenance and an extended product life.

Installation condition Static calculation according to DIN 1055:2005 with the following limitations Roof slope 0 to 60 Building height Up to 20m Mounting structure Timber / steel Roof types Metal sheet roof / flat roof System angle degree Note: if the condition is over the table list, please contact us to confirm. -5-

6 4. Tools for Installation The following tools are required for the installation: 6 mm Allen key or hexagonal driver bit. If using a 6mm driver bit, make sure the cordless power tool used for the driving has a hand-tight clutch setting a fine (soft) impact drive to prevent damage to the fragile glass panels and threads on the Structure. Cordless drill Drill or impact driver for driving roof material fixings Angle Tinder For terracotta tile roof installation, and angle Tinder fitted with a continuous edge diamond tipped tile0cutting blade; gloves, hearing protection, a face protection mask, and a suitably rated breathing protection mask for all people in proximity of grinding Gloves Protect the hazard of the sharp corners. Cord or color pen Mark the installation position; Spirit level Rule If necessary, timber to shim the roof hooks Note: These tools are just for mounting and not included with delivery. -6-

Distance between roof connections horizontally: Depending on the distance between rafters and on the static requirement. 4. Cantilever Length: less than half of dimension 3 5. Distance between modules: 17 mm 6. Length of the module 7. Length of support: similar with the dimension 8 8. Front and Rear Space: 1200~1400mm 9. Adjustable degree: 10-15deg / 15-30deg / 30-60deg -8-

9 7. code-compliant the Installation planning 7.1 Determine the wind region of your installation site Figure 3. Regional boundaries -9-

10 7.2 Determine the roof installation area Figure 4. Roof installation zones 7.3 Determine the height of the of your installation site This document provides sufficient information for AASolar system installation height less than 20 meters. If your installation site is more than 20 meters in height, please contact AASolar to obtain engineering data to support your installation. -10-

11 7.4 Determine the Maximum Rail Support Spacing Please use the following table to determine the T- Rail support spacing for tilt racking installations. a. 10 to 15 deg 1650 mm long panel fixed to metal sheet roof Height Above Ground(Meters) Region A Region B Region C Region D b. 15 to 30 deg 1650 mm long panel fixed to metal sheet roof Height Above Ground(Meters) Region A Region B Region C Region D c.30 to 60 deg 1650 mm long panel fixed to metal sheet roof Height Above Ground(Meters) Region A Region B Region C Region D The above figures are based on modules lengths of up to 1650mm, maximum weight of 21Kg; 1650 mm long panel required 2 rails with fixing as table above; 2000 mm long panel required 3 rails with fixing as table above; Fixed to flat roof with minimum of 2 x 12 gauge (5.5mm min diameter, 10 TPI) screws for fixing to steel and timber batten.resprectively screw through to 0.6 mm Min. BMT steel or Min.35 mm embedment into timber; For solar panel installed with the edge area, the Max support spacing should be halved. 7.5 Verify acceptable Rail End Overhang Rail End Overhang must equal 50 percent or less of foot spacing. Thus, if foot spacing is 1200mm, the Rail End Over hang can be up to 600mm. In this case, two feet can support a rail of as much as 2400mm (1200mm between the feet and 600mm of overhang at each end). -11-

12 7.6 Determine Roof slope Antai flat roof tilt system can be used for roof slope up to 60 degrees. Please verify the Installation site roof slope should be between 0 degrees and 60 degrees. -12-
