This installation manuals needs to be used in conjunction with a project specific “Project report”. This project report is the result of the use of the online calculation tool of Van der Valk Solar Systems B.V., called the “ValkPVplanner”, which project report shows you specific information about your project such as, amongst other, a project drawing and ballast plan for flat roofs (the “Project Report”).
