**Photovoltaic (PV) modules:**\\

Item number = 2204400014\\

**Physical data:**\\
Module dimensions (mm) = 1654 x 989 x 40\\
Module weight = 18.2Kg

PV modules available = 20units

The current idea is to install two systems:\\ 
- Fixed system: 2 sets of 5 PV modules each on top of the roof, using an Angle mounting system.\\
- Mobile system: 2 sets of 5 PV modules each on the green area, using a Flat mounting system on mobile platform mechanism that allows us to tilt the PV modules.

Set of 5 vertical PV modules in a row - arrangement:\\

**List of components**

According to the {{ :solar_panel:installation_manual_ibc_topfix200_en_v_19_01.pdf |Installation instructions - IBC TopFix 200}}:

Support rail length = (M.B + 24 mm) × number of modules per row + 32 mm = (989mm + 24 mm) × 5 + 32 mm = 1013 x 5 + 32 mm = __5097mm__

There are two lengths: 5200mm and 2100mm, then we use the 5200mm one.
