Installation Instructions
GENERAL INSTALLATION AND
TRANSPORT INSTRUCTIONS
Installation, maintenance, cleaning and all other
procedures listed in this manual shall only be
performed by fully and properly instructed, qualified
and authorized personnel, which means licensed
LQVWDOOHUVFRQWUDFWRUVSOXPEHUV+9$&DQGVRODU
contractors. The materials supplied must be used
for installation. Before any installation or operation
of the GeoSpring Solar system, familiarize yourself
with and then comply with all national, state and local
ODZVDQGUHJXODWLRQVWKDWDSSO\/LIWWKH*HR6SULQJ
Solar system only by its frame and NEVER by any
of the water connections or bolts. Incorrect lifting can
damage the GeoSpring Solar system. Always be
careful to avoid any physical damage, especially to
the solar glass, back wall and pipe connections. The
manufacturer is not liable for structural damage or
any other damage caused by improper handling or
incorrect installation.
ON ROOF INSTALLATION
Installation shall only be carried out on roof surfaces
or substructures with sufficient load bearing capacity.
The structural load bearing capacity of the roof or
substructure must be tested in terms of local and
regional conditions by a structural engineer before
installing the GeoSpring Solar system. During
inspection pay particular attention to the quality of the
substructure for retaining screw connections used to
secure the installation materials for the GeoSpring Solar
system. Inspection of the entire installation structure
in accordance with national and local regulations is
particularly necessary in areas with heavy snowfall
that can lead to increased load. When choosing the
installation location, make sure that maximum loads are
not exceeded by snowfall or wind forces.
The inspection should also take into account any
particularities of the installation location, e.g. air jets,
eddies etc. that can lead to increased load. There
must be a distance of at least 3 ft to the roof ridging or
edge. Structural members penetrated by solar system
components must meet code. Building materials
adjacent to solar components must not be exposed to
elevated temperatures.
Penetration through fire-rated assemblies must not
reduce fire resistance below code. Meet applicable
codes and national Roofing Contractors Association
practices. Do not impair enclosure function. Do not
allow vermin intrusion.
FLAT ROOF OR GROUND MOUNT
INSTALLATION
Installation shall only be carried out on roof surfaces
or substructures with sufficient load bearing capacity.
The structural load bearing capacity of the roof or
substructure must be inspected, tested and approved
in accordance with local and regional conditions by a
structural engineer before the GeoSpring Solar system
can be installed. During inspection, the structural
engineer must pay particular attention to the quality of
the substructure for proper anchoring of the retaining
screw connections used to secure the installation
materials for the GeoSpring Solar system. Inspection
of the entire installation structure in accordance with
national and local regulations is particularly necessary
in areas with heavy snowfall that can lead to increased
load. When choosing the installation location, make
sure that maximum loads are not exceeded by
snowfall or wind forces. There must be at a distance of
at least 3 ft to the roof ridging or edge.
NOTE: Installing a GeoSpring Solar system means

and inhabited lofts or inadequate minimum roof
inclinations often require additional measures carried
out on-site by a licensed roofing contractor e.g.
sarking, to secure against water penetrating as a
result of wind pressure and drifting snow.
