Step 4: Installing PV Modules to Module Rails

PV Modules are secured to the Module Rails using 1/4” x 3/4” bolts and hardware.

Start with the southern most PV Modules and work in a northern direction. This

provides a measure of safety as the previously installed southern Modules can help

to hold the next in-line northern Module in place during installation.

A. Place the southern most PV Module in place on the Module Rails. Align the

mounting holes and secure with 1/4” x 3/4” bolts and hardware. Each

Module has four attachment points. Finger-tighten for now. (See Figure 4-1)

B. Continue in this manner to install all southern most PV Modules first and

then work in a northern direction installing the remaining Modules.

Double check the

orientation of

inboard to

outboard Module

Rails. If they are

installed differently

from these

instructions the

mounting holes

will not align to the

holes of the PV

Modules.

CAUTION:

This is a two

person activity. PV

Modules are

heavy and

unstable before

they are fully

secured to the

Module Rails. PV

Modules must be

held in place by

one person while

the second person

aligns and

secures them to

the Module Rails.

Failure to do so

could lead to

serious personal

injury and

components.
