  • the punching may be performed from the underside 104 of the fastening plate 100 such that the punched reinforcing section 130 will protrude upwards from the upside 102 of the fastening plate 100.
  • Another example to obtain reinforcing sections 130 is to add an extra material thickness at the section of the fastening plate 100 to be reinforced. This may e.g., performed by welding an additional sheet section at the plate.
  • a suitable adhesive may also be used for fastening the additional sheet section at the plate.
  • the reinforcing section 130 may comprise a plurality of grooves for increased strength. The groves may be arranged parallel to or perpendicular to the slope or pitch of the roof.
  • Figs. 11 to 13 illustrates further non-limiting exemplary shapes of a fastening plate 100 according to embodiments of the invention. It is realised that the fastening plate 100 may have the general shape of a rectangle, a parallelogram, a circle, etc. A plate may imply that the surface area of the upside and the downside is much larger than the surface area of the edges that form the height of the plate. It is to be noted that only the shape of the fastening plate 100 is illustrated in Figs. 11 to 13 .
  • the present fastening plate 100 may be produced from a single sheet metal part punched in different shapes.
  • the fastening plate 100 may be formed in a single piece of sheet metal.
  • the single piece of sheet metal may have a constant thickness in embodiments.
  • Fig. 14 illustrates a house 300 having a roof surface 310 of a roof with a slope S or a pitch with a certain sloping angle or pitching angle.
  • the roof surface 310 may also be horizontally or vertically arranged which is not disclosed.
  • the roof surface 310 may e.g., comprise of a sealant membrane covering a roof structure.
  • the roof structure may include battens and beams arranged suitably between the ridge 330 and the eaves 320.
  • the sealant membrane may e.g., be produced from PVC, ECB, FPO or bitumen.
  • Embodiments of the invention also relates to an arrangement 400 comprising at least one fastening plate 100 according to embodiments of the invention and at least one roof equipment 200 as also shown in Fig. 14 .
