3.04 MWp Rooftop PV in Gaziantep: ISOSIDE Mounting System
Aerial view of the roof
In brief
In 2021 ISOTEC supplied the ISOSIDE mounting system and prepared the structural analysis for a 3.04 MWp rooftop PV plant on an industrial building in Şehitkamil, Gaziantep. The 6,840 modules of 445 Wp sit on 85 mm profiles on a multi-span trapezoidal sheet roof with a 6° pitch.
The project
6,840 modules on a multi-span trapezoidal roof with skylights
The plant is on the roof of a production facility in the Başpınar organised industrial zone of Şehitkamil, Gaziantep. The roof is double-pitched and multi-span, clad in 0.5 mm trapezoidal sheet at a 6° pitch. The photos show vaulted skylights lined up along the roof, with module rows filling the strips between them.
The ISOSIDE system connects 85/400 mm ISOBEAM aluminium profiles to the crests of the trapezoidal sheet with stainless steel brackets, each over an EPDM sealing strip. On part of the roof ISOTRAP XLA brackets were used. EasyClamp clamps hold the modules in portrait orientation.
The structural report was prepared on 7 July 2021 and passed university review. It is based on an altitude of 855 m, a building height of 10 m, snow zone 3 (1.30 kN/m² ground snow load) and a wind pressure of 0.80 kN/m²; the sheet support spacing was taken as 250 mm.
