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 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 you ground mount solar panels?

Place the next panel on the rails, so that the clamps are wedged snugly between both panels. Tighten the clamps between the panels. Repeat this process for each panel in your array.
