How do I install a solar stack roof?

Surface Preparation. All roof surfaces must be free of any debris, dirt, grease, oil, and standing water before adhesive is applied. Follow adhesive manufacturers application instructions. Tile roofs: Tiles must be cut to t the proper size of the Solar stack pedestal (+- 1''). Clean the hole of any sawdust with appropriate tools and materials.

How do you install a PV array on a roof?

Note: the PV array should not be installed closer than 500mm to the perimeter of the roof including ridge line and eaves (unless verified by a professional engineer). Attach the clamp and tighten the screw to 16 N.m using a 5mm Allen key or drill bit to roof per as planed plan position.

Do I need a primer before installing solar stack pedestals?

Before foam adhesive and Solar Stack pedestals are installed to the roof, "primer" coating must be applied for stronger bond between the TPO roof and foam adhesive. Appropriate "primer" must be determined with the roof manufacturer to avoid warranty issues. Determine the spacing of Solar Stack pedestals for your solar array design.

How do I connect a solar stack module to a pedestal?

Modules should be bonded to the Solar Stack pedestals with the manufacturer approved middle/end clamps. Grounding hardware (as a part of the module clamps) forms secure electrical bonds with both the module and the pedestal, resulting in many parallel grounding paths throughout the system.

How do I install a solar stack module?

Insert the middle clamps and tighten them. Insert the end clamps laterally in the pedestal. The end clamps are attached and then tightened at the height of the module frame. Modules should be installed to the Solar Stack pedestals with the manufacturer approved middle/end clamps.

What are the components of a solar stack pedestal system?

The system is a non-separately derived system. The following components have been evaluated for bonding as the fault current ground path: PV module, Mid Clamp, End Clamp, Pedestal and Ground Lugs. Solar Stack pedestals can be installed on BUR (Build Up Roong), Mineral surface (Modied Bitumen), EPDM, PVC, TPO, Hypalon and Concrete roofs.
