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 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.

How do I install Klip-Lok clamps?

Determine the appropriate installation area on the roof.
