How do you attach a PV module to a rail?

Module Clamp: Secures the PV module to the rail. Use four clamps for each Ballast Tray, two on north and south two Ballast Trays. Multiple sizes available depending on thickness of PV module. Wind Deflector: Joins Ballast Trays together into a continuous structural member. Distributes and reduces loading on roof structure.

What is the Sun approach angle for a ballasted roof mount?

The sun approach angle of the Ballasted Roof Mount system varies depending upon the amount of ballast required for your installation and whether or not Wind Deflectors are utilized. The sun approach angle for most installations will be 17 degrees. The row spacing for this system is 21.97 inches (module to module).

What is a seismic anchor & microinverter bracket?

Seismic Anchor: Secures the Ballast Tray directly to the building structure through roofing material and/or decking. Provides seismic lateral stability for module array. Microinverter Bracket: Attaches to Ballast Tray and secures microinverter. Works with Enphase, SolarEdge and DirectGrid microinverters.

How do you install a helical pile?

Bobcats or other similar machinery with auger drive units are used to install these foundations. Sandy soils with low cohesion and high water tables are good fits for helical piles. Ground screws, as the name implies, are large galvanized steel posts with welded or machined threads.
