A roof made up of asbestos cement which is a mix of cement and asbestos is named an asbestos roof. Asbestos fibers are added to the combination to type a tough materials. Asbestos is used for roofing for its insulation, fireproofing, and weatherproof properties. It is quite common to seek out asbestos roofing in sheds, garages and farm buildings. They are very sturdy and may final for many years.

Step-by-Step Installation Process

To set up photo voltaic panels on cement sheets, some essential tools is required which is given under. 

This set up course of is made in 10 steps, so one can find it simple to put in this type of solar panel.

Step 1: Material Check

A photo voltaic system includes of various parts reminiscent of photo voltaic panels, inverters, batteries, solar panel stand, photo voltaic wires, earthing kits, DC/ DV, and so forth. Check the person parts to make sure the proper product was delivered to you.

Step 2: Roof Inspection

Solar panels will be put in on asbestos/ cement rooftops. However, you will need to examine and substitute older sheets earlier than any photo voltaic set up. Make certain that the roof is robust sufficient to carry the panels in place. Asbestos roofs are very sturdy and other people can simply stroll on it for set up objective. However, it’s comparatively tougher to put in photo voltaic panels on slanting asbestos rooftops than on flat concrete roofs. But it’s doable. Also, bear in mind to make use of a double-sided EPDM tape to make sure water proofing for leakage of rainwater. Suppose you’re putting in photo voltaic panels in Delhi-NCR area, the construction ought to have a tilt of 20 diploma and panels needs to be south dealing with.

Step 3: Materials Lifting on rooftop

One of the hardest steps is to get all supplies for set up on the rooftop. You can both go the supplies straight from the bottom to the roof in case of low top buildings or use a ladder for transporting supplies as much as the rooftop.

Step 4: Panel Stand Fixing

The photo voltaic panel stand needs to be lightweight however sturdy sufficient to carry the panels in place. A photo voltaic panel stand having aluminium mono rails provides to the sunshine weight.

1. Existing J-Clamp – Open Nut & Bolt of the exiting asbestos sheet on the rooftop. If the nut bolt is rusted (in case of outdated installations) it’s possible you’ll even have to chop them.

2. Extension of Railing utilizing Jointer – Once the nut bolt of the sheet is loosed you may add the holding clamp of the stand and jointer to increase the rails.

3. Tighten the Holding Clamp

4. Tight Holding Clamp with Railing utilizing Drill Machine – With this step, panel stand set up is full.

5. Mounting Solar Panels One-by-One (Carefully) – Bring the photo voltaic panel on the roof and verify for correct alignment on the roof. Use screws to tighten the panels.

6. Solar Panel Direction (+, -) – Since the gap between the roof and the panels may be very much less, we have to full the wiring of panels (both in parallel or sequence) together with the photo voltaic panel set up.

7. Make Proper String of Solar Panel in keeping with photo voltaic inverter knowledge – Once you understand the placement of the inverter battery and make correct alignment of the inverter with the assistance of scale and drill. You can simply mount inverters on the wall eg. Fusion 5KV inverter. Secure the wiring connections with the assistance of markings.

8. Finally Done

Step 5: Solar Panel Lifting for Proper Panel Stand Fixing

As already talked about, tilt of photo voltaic panels is essential for correct functioning of the photo voltaic system. In order to repair the stand, photo voltaic panels will should be lifted after which mounted on the stand correctly. Care needs to be taken whereas drilling holes on the roof to repair the stand as it’s going to give out plenty of mud which may be dangerous for the installers.

Step 6: Mounting Solar Panels

Use gentle weight photo voltaic panel stands on the rooftop to put in the photo voltaic panels. Make safe connections as described within the steps above. Complete the method with remaining variety of panels.

Step 7: Inverter Battery Installation

Once the inverter is put in on the wall you may make reference to battery utilizing the marking on the inverter. You can put the battery on a desk/ cupboards and so forth. Then a gap of the required radius is drilled within the wall to convey a number of photo voltaic panel wiring and utilizing a PVC pipe these wires can attain the inverter battery for correct connection. The PVC pipe will give look to the general set up. Also, set up the DC DV field.

Step 8: Earthing Kit Installation

Earthing is essential to safeguard your photo voltaic panel system in case of thunder and lightning. You can use two earthing one for lighting arrester and the opposite for the inverter.

Step 9: Solar Wiring

Complete all of the wiring and safe the connections of photo voltaic panels to inverter battery, earthing, and so forth. According to the configuration of the inverter the connection of photo voltaic panels can both be in parallel or in sequence.

Step 10: Load Testing

Finally join the entire arrange with the load and verify the working.

Conclusion

It is a standard delusion that photo voltaic panels can’t be put in on asbestos rooftops. But the fact is that putting in photo voltaic panels on the asbestos rooftops will add to the energy and construction of the roof. Always get an engineer visit earlier than and through set up. We hope our detailed video and article aid you in your future installations.
