Safety instructions
This product is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children. These operating instructions are intended to familiarize you with the operation of this product. Therefore, keep these instructions in a safe place so that you can access them at any time. Pass them on to subsequent users. Observe the safety instructions during use. Conversion or modification of the product will impair product safety. Attention Risk of injury! Attention loss of warranty! The product is statically tested for loads of wind load zone 2 and snow load zone 2. Wind or/and snow loads exceeding the values of these zones have not been tested and may cause damage to the product or/and the mounting location. Check in advance whether the static conditions of your balcony railing/roof/wall/floor are sufficient to support additional loads. Check your state building code (LBO) for requirements for the erection of plants and systems. Make sure all screws and fasteners are properly fastened before mounting/hanging the solar module. If screws are loose, there is a risk that the solar module may fall down and create a dangerous situation under the balcony. Use a torque wrench or socket wrench to make sure it is tight. Do not exceed these values for the screws: M8 screws: 11±1 N*m Use at least 2 people to lift and install the solar modules. Make sure that the bracket is fixed on the top as well as on the bottom of the balcony, so that it can withstand stormy weather. Make sure that the mounting surface is strong enough to support the weight and load of the mount including solar module. Handle the product with care. It can be damaged by shocks, impacts or falling from

even a low height. Mounting the bracket on a vehicle roof is prohibited for safety and structural reasons. Technical changes and errors excepted.
Optical conspicuities / scratches in the materials
Visual conspicuities or scratches on the fixture due to industrial production or/and transport are not defects and will not be recognized as such. Possible conspicuities in the surface finish do not affect the safety or functionality of the overall system.

Fixing solar module to mount
These installation instructions are only intended to describe the installation. Be at least 2 people to lift and mount the solar modules.
Use 4x hexagon head screw M8x20 to mount the solar module to the mount as shown above. Do not stand on the module or the module frame. To prevent grease stains on the module, avoid contact with your hands on the glass surface and ideally wear work gloves. Lay the solar module flat on clean surface. Best is to use some protection like a blanket or cardboard in the size of the module underneath. Be careful not to damage the glass front. Lay the mount on the holes of the solar module you want the mount to be attached to. First fix the single hole and tighten the hexagon head screw M8x20 with an M8 hex nut. After that fix the hexagon head screw M8x20 to the slotted hole and tighten the M8 hex nut.
Mount to balcony railing
The solar module is only suitable for installation up to a height of 4m (upper edge of the module), provided that there is also no public traffic below the module. The mounting angle (30°, 35°, 40°), the orientation (west, south, east) as well as the geographical location influence the yield of the balcony power plant. Refer to the technical specifications for maximum wind and snow loads. Choose a suitable location for the installation of the solar system, free from obstacles and with enough space to allow you to adjust the tilt angle (if necessary). Be at least 2 people to lift and mount the solar modules.

Mount U-profile to balcony railing
Lay the rubber strip onto the place of the balcony railing where the holder will be placed. The Rubber strip is to protect the railing. Hang the whole solar module onto the balcony railing by help from a second person. Now screw in the star screw with an attached Hex nut M8 into the both holes of the U-profile. The Hex but M8 is for counter. Place the plastic shim plate between the star screws and the rubber strip on the railing. Fix the plastic shim plate by gently tightening the star screws. Now repeat the procedure for the lower U-profiles. Check the pictures below for correct mounting. Tighten all star screws and lock them with the M8 hex nut. Note: Make sure that the bracket at the bottom of the balcony is also mounted and secured to avoid problems in stormy weather and to ensure that the module cannot move under any circumstances.

Flat roof (bitumen roof), terrace (free standing)
Choose a suitable location for the installation of the solar system, free from obstacles and with enough space to allow you to adjust the tilt angle (if necessary). Be at least 2 people to lift and mount the solar modules. The mounting angle (30°, 35°, 40°), the orientation (west, south, east) as well as the geographical location influence the yield of the balcony power plant. The statics of the roof for the photovoltaic system must be checked by the customer. The photovoltaic system can be installed up to a roof height of 9m, a sea level of max. 350 m and a roof pitch of 45°. We recommend a distance of 1.25 m to fire walls of adjacent buildings (e.g. row houses). For more detailed requirements for your federal state, refer to your state building code (LBO). Make sure that national and site-specific building regulations, occupational safety and accident prevention regulations, standards and environmental protection regulations are observed. Note: In the case of a flat or bitumen roof fastening, the use of screws is not recommended. The screws would damage the seal of the roof and the roof could leak.
Weighing down the module support The solar module (up to 19kg) should be positioned at ground level or centered on a flat roof. Suitable is a bracket for mounting on bitumen, concrete, in the garden on the lawn or terrace. The weighting is calculated according to the terrain IV (urban area), where at least 15% of the area is covered with buildings, the average height of which exceeds 15m, and may differ for other heights or terrain structures. In case of installation on a flat roof, the top edge of the building should be lower than 15m and the photovoltaic system should be at least 1.25m away from the neighbor’s roof surface. The maximum slope of the ground may be 5°. One concrete slab should weigh 9kg. Check whether the statics of the installation site are suitable for the photovoltaic system. Technaxx Germany does not assume any liability for the suitability of your installation site.

Wall mounting
Choose a suitable location for the installation of the solar system, free from obstacles and with enough space to allow you to adjust the tilt angle (if necessary). Be at least 2 people to lift and mount the solar modules. The mounting angle (30°, 35°, 40°), the orientation (west, south, east) as well as
the geographical location influence the yield of the balcony power plant. For the mounting on the facade/wall you need to ask a static engineer. Every wall is different and need to hold for one solar module with included mount up to 8.6kg plus the weight of the solar module. Up to a height (upper edge of the module) of 4m the glass-foil module can be used, as long as you cannot step directly under the module.
