I had 2 rails and fittings, made by Schletter, arrive today. Bought from Wind and Sun, they arrived within 24 hours. Details of the electrical set up is on theElf Serverwebsite. Details on Fitting the rails and panels to the roof follow.

12th Feb Took pattern for roof hooks to Phoenix 316 as Cotech are very busy. Will call Wed 19th for an update ~ left £100 deposit for a total somewhere around £213



The red and green parts are alternative bends. The red on the lower hooks and the green on the upper so the 10mm bolts that fasten to the PV rail can be accessed directly from below and above respectively. The 8mm holes are to fix the hook to the rafters with 2 of 8 x 50mm hex-head coach bolts, with washers.

25th Feb


Cost £154 + VAT = £184.80
There are two types half require welding so approx £10 and £20 per hook

29th Feb Looks like the hooks will be fastened above the 15th (proper i.e. ex double first row) and 21st batten from the eves.

1st March ~ 11th MarchFitting hooks and rails.

31st March Photovoltaic panels fitted but not connected.



There was a problem fitting the panels as I had not left enough room to attach the nut to the bolts. Add diagram or picture here!
