8 Bushlight Renewable Energy Systems Array Structure Support structures manufactured to engineer certified specifications with appropriate wind loading capacity Ensure structure materials are suitable for environmental conditions - hot dipped galvanised in coastal areas Weed matting with a minimum 50 mm aggregate cover to reduce weed growth under array (fire and vermin hazard) Tamper-proof fasteners (if appropriate) to prevent theft of modules Ensure separation of dissimilar metals use aluminium bonded washers or flashing tape to separate aluminium from steel structures or roof cladding Ensure a minimum 100 mm air gap when mounting on a roof structure to allow air flow across the underside of modules Array orientation and tilt mounting angle to designer specifications minimum 10 tilt to allow self cleaning Array modules should be a minimum of 1.2m off the ground and have a maximum height that allows for easy access for maintenance and cleaning
