Powerskin system – Instructions

Step 1

Identify the structural points of the facade, suitable to anchor the wallholder FPH, as indicated in the executive project.
Check out the facade vertical plumb and choose the most suitable size of wallholder.
First fix the fix point holder FPH and use the vertical profile VP in order to align the sliding point holder SPH.
Space vertically the wallholder FPH and SPH according to the distance of the project.
To fix the wallholders on a insulating panel you can use the anchor Thermax with thermal barrier.
Repeat these steps for the whole facade.

Insert the vertical profile VP into the wallholder.
Adjust the vertical plumb by scrolling the profile inside the wallholder.
Fix the vertical profile to the wallholder using the rivet fischer 4,8 x 10 A2.
Depending on loads, use a suitable number of rivets for bracket FPH and 2 rivets for the bracket SPH.
Leave a gap between the end of a profile and the beginning of a subsequent (at least 5 mm), allowing any thermal expansion.

Put the final and middle clamps on the profiles with a step equal to the width of the panel.
To avoid slide the panels during installation you can use the brackets fischer BR FV fixed on the lateral side of the profile VP with rivets fischer 3,2 x 14 A2.

Place the bracket BR FV at the base of each panel. Put a piece of butylene tape GC INT above the bracket to prevent direct contact between the bracket and the panel.

Place the first photovoltaic panel and tighten the final clamps to fasten the panel with a torque of 10 Nm.

Place side by side the subsequent PV panels to completion of the row and fasten progressively with final and middle clamps.
