CAUTIONS REMOVING THE TRANSPARENT FILM

Tegosolar has its max efficiency when exposed to south. It's consequently suggested to
find the pitches with the best exposure and to organize the tiles distribution so that
they're as much regular as possible by respecting the instructions resumed in Fig. 6 and
'till the needed kW are installed (15 tiles or 17 m² are 1 kWp).
The electrical project should be done by arranging the needed connections to obtain
strings (Tegosolar connected in series) which shall then be connected in parallel to the
inverter.
" Tegosolar should be moved carefully, in order to avoid bending which may
deteriorate the support
" In case of Tegosolar is applied with nails on nailable roof decks, with slopes higher
than 35%
" For the nails application use large headed roofing nails, stainless steel AISI 304 high
adherence.
" It is possible to apply Tegosolar by torching it on a bituminous membrane such as
Safety Poly 4 mm, with slopes lower than 35% (19°).
" Use QUICK CONNECT connectors for the connection of Tegosolar to the inverter
(should the existing connectors be cut, the guarantee of Tegosolar on the electric
part shall be no longer valid).
" BEFORE THE INSTALLATION REMOVE THE TRANSPARENT AND ANTI ADHERENCE FILM ON
Remove the transparent film on the back of Tegosolar
following the picture (use a cutter for lifting the corner).

METHODOLOGY
This installation system is based on the achievement of two main phases that enable the
installation of the photovoltaic tile before, and of the connections with cables after. The roofer is
able to install Tegosolar according to a prior given disposition / drawing. His role shall finish when
installing the L profiles and waterproofing the connections and consequently the roof;
connectors shall be left free, in order to permit the electrician to start his work.
The electrician shall connect the photovoltaic tiles in strings and the strings in parallel to the
inverter. He shall protect cables and connectors with the installation of the metal caps screwed
to the L profiles. It's clear that all the cables, done with watertight connectors, are on the upper
side of the roof, and shall always be reachable and inspectable, simply by unscrewing and
removing the metal cap.
The waterproofing between two tiles is guaranteed by the butyl applied under the L profiles.

NAILS INSTALLATION Tegosolar: slope limits for installation with nails or torch on

Starting from a roof with bituminous shingles

Stated that, while passing from a part of the slope made with bituminous shingles to a part made with Tegosolar, it's necessary to guarantee the continuous waterproofing of
the roof, it's also necessary to evaluate the minimal overlap of Tegosolar compared to the expected exposure of the shingles. I.e. for Standard or Prestige Elite the minimal
overlap shall be 19,5 cm, while for Prestige Compact it will be 5 cm.

" Once the starting line for Tegosolar is decided, apply a line of Bitustick at 4-5 cm of that line (Fig. 17), unless there are the thermo or self adhesive points making this function
in that position.
" Place the S spacers at 96 cm from the marking (Fig. 17) paying attention to press the upper side, and fix them with large headed roofing nails, stainless steel AISI 304 high

adherence.
" Place Tegosolar as per Fig. 17, paying attention to place it inside the S spacers.

" Apply Tegosolar with 12 large headed roofing nails, stainless steel AISI 304 high adherence, equidistant at abt. 25 cm as stated in Fig. 17.
