The Launderer
Doing our first job next week on my own house for our MCS visit. Its a Rosemary tile roof.
To complicate things we are installing the panels in landscape.
I took advice from Segen and agreed we would install vertical rails and use noggins where necessary
Spent a bit of time going through the forum and thought I had the selection of roof anchors sorted.
I again took advice from Segen and selected the Schuco Roof Anchor SCH 257130
I was reasonably happy I had the right thing but I got the roofer to check and discovered the tiles are laid straight onto the sacking board with no battens used and we cant dress these in because they will sit too high.
Both the roofer and myself are new to this and we looked through the available fixings and again spoke to Segen. This time we selected a hanger bolt and we talked about drilling through the tile and securing this way. Again I took advice from Segen and they said they would check with Schuco. The came back and told me Schuco said this would be fine and I was going to order this fitting. (SCH 231149)
I wasn't entirely happy with this advice and phoned around a few other PV supply merchants and I spoke to someone that seemed to know what he was talking about and he told me that this fitting was for a corrugated roof and couldn't be sealed properly on my Rosemary tiled roof and I would be likely to fail our MCS visit. This helpful chap suggested this fitting (SCH 256311)
So before I order this I would be really grateful if someone who really does know what they are talking about could confirm that this will do the job.
I now intend to install these anchors and fit some horizontal rails and then fit my vertical rails in a cruciform cross rail formation. Is this going to work and comply with MCS?
Any advice gratefully received!!
