1Introduction
Clenergy PV-ezRack SolarTripod is suitable for home, commercial, flat roof and even
for large scale solar installations. SolarTripod divides 2 solutions, single row and
double rows in portrait of modules. The advantage of SolarTripod is the pre-
assembly fixed angle brackets; it reduces the time and labour in installation.
Please read the installation instructions carefully before beginning installation.
First familiarize yourself with the system components. During installation and
especially when working on the roof be sure to observe the appropriate safety
regulations and please pay attention to the relevant regulations of your local
region. Please check the current version of the installation manual under
www.clenergy.com.au.
The installer is solely responsible for:
•Complying with all applicable local or national building codes, including
any that may supersede this manual;
•Ensuring that PV-ezRack and other products are appropriate for the
particular installation and the installation environment;
•Ensuring that the roof, its rafters, connections, and other structural
support members can support the array under building live load
conditions (this total assembly is hereafter referred to as the roof rafter
assembly);
•Use only PV-ezRack parts as specified in this document (substitution of
any PV-ezRack part may void the warranty and invalidate the letter of
certification);
•Ensuring that lag screws have adequate pullout strength and shear
capacities as installed;
•Maintaining the waterproof integrity of the roof, including selection of
appropriate flashing;
•Ensuring safe installation of all electrical aspects of the PV array.

2Planning
This document is designed to support installations using SolarTripod, manufactured
by Clenergy (Xiamen) Technology Co., Ltd. Follow the six steps below and the
installation instructions section to install Clenergy PV-ezRack SolarTripod in
compliance with the AS/NZS1170.2-2011 Amdt 3 2013.
Before proceeding, note the following:
This document addresses only wind loads on the assumption that wind
produces the maximum load factor affecting an installation. Verify that
other local factors, such as snow loads and earth quake effects, do not
exceed the wind loads. Give precedence to any factor that does. Wind
loads are considered to act on the entire projected area, or may be
perpendicular to any surface.
The roof on which the SolarTripod will be installed must have the capacity
to resist the combined Design Dead Load and Live Load per footing.
Installation Tools
6mm Allen Key;
14mm Open end wrench;
Power Tool(s);
5m Tapeline;
Spring Thread.
2.1 Determine the wind region of your installation site
Region Definition:
Wind regions are pre defined for all of Australia by Australian Standard 1170.
The Wind Region has nothing to do with surrounding topography or buildings.
•Most of Australia is designated Region A which indicates a Regional
Ultimate Basic Wind Velocity of 45msec.
•Some areas are designated Region B (57m/sec). Local authorities will
advise if this applies in your area.
•Region C areas (66m/sec) are generally referred to as cyclonic and are
generally limited to northern coastal areas. Most Region C zones end
100km inland.
•Region D (80m/sec) Australia's worst Cyclonic Region between
Carnarvon and Pardoo in Western Australia.

2.2 Determine the height of the installation site
This document provides sufficient information for the SolarTripod system
installation height up to 10 meters. If your installation site is more than 10
meters in height, please contact Clenergy to obtain engineering data to support
your installation.

2.3 Determine the Maximum Rail Support Spacing
Please use the following table to determine the base rail support spacing for
sheet metal roof installations. The spacing below is suitable for a tilt angle of
maximum 30° or less.
10m high roof

2.4 Determine the number of fixing points
The following fixing requirements are based on the use of M6 12G self drilling
roof screws –Buildex Roofzips or similar. Use screws with minimum 11
thread per inch for wooden and also for metal/steel purlins.
2.5 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).

4Array Planning
As the drawing above, mounting details are as follow:
1) Module orientation: portrait.
2) Length of rail in the same row:
L1= Number of modules per row x (module width + 18mm) + 32mm.
3) Distance between the two rows: L2 must be determine based on the location to
avoid shading
4) Distance between the two support Tripod: L3 (see 2.3 above)
