cabling on. Also, for AC Module installations, it is often more convenient to clip the Q Cable to the module
frame than to clip the Q Cable to the racking system (if available).
You must support the Q Cable and raw Q Cable at intervals not to exceed 6 feet and make sure that the
cable does not touch the roof surface.

Supporting the DC Module Leads
Prepare the modules using clips on the DC module leads to prevent the leads from resting on the roof. It is
best to prepare the modules on the ground, before installation. Install the wire clips and DC module leads to
allow for easy connection to the microinverter while also supporting the conductors off the roof.
Once the modules are prepared, install them on the racking. Secure any loose wires or cables to the module
frames with properly sized wire clips. Ensure that all conductors are supported off the roof.
