Brazil 16-Panel Tile Roof PV Mounting Case

An engineering record for a 2 × 8 module layout using four horizontal rail lines and adjustable tile-roof hooks. The drawing and quotation provide the dimensions and component quantities summarized below.

Engineering reference for a 16-module 2 by 8 tile-roof PV mounting layout in Brazil
16 modules · 2 × 8 layout Four rail lines; each rail run is documented as 8,400 mm using two 4,200 mm rail sections.
Project Record

Documented Layout at a Glance

The available project drawing is dated 15 May 2019. The values below are presented as historical project data, not as universal design limits for other roofs.

Source limitation: The available record does not identify the customer, individual module wattage or completed-site status. This page therefore does not describe the array as a “5 kW” project or claim that the quoted configuration was the final installed system.
Drawing & BOM

How the 2 × 8 Layout Maps to the Mounting Hardware

The drawing shows two module rows with two support rails per row. That produces four horizontal rail runs across the array and explains the rail, splice and clamp quantities in the quotation.

Simplified 2 by 8 PV mounting drawing showing four rail lines, 20 mm module gaps and approximate roof-hook spacing
Drawing reference: 2 × 8 modules, 20 mm module gaps, 8,076 mm array width, 8,400 mm rail runs and approximately 1,000 mm adjustable hook spacing.

Quoted mounting components

Component Quantity
AL6005-T5 rail, 4,200 mm8 pcs
Rail splice, 200 mm4 pcs
Mid clamp for 40 mm module frame28 pcs
End clamp for 40 mm module frame8 pcs
SUS304 roof hook36 pcs
Quantity check: Eight 4.2 m rails create four 8.4 m rail runs, joined by four splices. For two rows of eight modules supported by two rails per row, the quoted 28 mid clamps and eight end clamps are consistent with the module boundaries shown in the drawing.
Mounting Path

Roof Structure to Module Frame

The documented concept is a conventional rail-based tile-roof assembly: the roof attachment connects to a verified structural support, rails create the module support plane, and clamps secure the framed modules.

1

Confirm the roof build-up

Tile profile alone is not enough. A new project should confirm the structural fixing location, tile clearance, roof condition and the required waterproofing detail before selecting an attachment.

2

Match the module to the rail layout

Module dimensions, frame thickness and the module manufacturer’s approved clamp zones determine where the rails and clamps can be placed.

3

Recalculate for the actual site

Attachment spacing, rail span and fastener selection should be checked using the project location, roof geometry, supporting structure and applicable design requirements.

Historical Design Inputs

Values Recorded in the Quotation

These figures describe the archived quotation associated with this case. They should not be reused as current product ratings or as design values for another project without engineering verification.

Record item Documented value Interpretation for this page
Project location Brazil Identifies the case-study location only.
Roof interface Tile roof with adjustable roof hooks shown in the drawing The illustrated attachment concept is a roof-hook-and-rail system.
Wind input Up to 60 m/s in the quotation A historical quotation input; not a blanket rating for every roof or layout.
Snow input 1.4 kN/m² in the quotation A historical quotation input that requires project-specific verification before reuse.
Main materials AL6005-T5 aluminum and SUS304 stainless steel Materials recorded for the rails and mounting hardware in this package.
Not shown as an installed condition: A separate quotation in the archived package considered an L-foot / hanger-bolt attachment. Because the available drawing is based on adjustable roof hooks and the final installed attachment is not confirmed, that alternative is not presented as part of the main case configuration.
