Installation Recommended tools to have before installation: The following tools and equipment are highly recommended to have available to assist with installation but are in no way a comprehensive list of tools that can ease installation. Installers feel free to substitute comparable equipment where appropriate. Image Component Description Ratchet/Torque Wrench Allows for tightening of fasteners. Torque wrench allows for careful monitoring of torque value to prevent overtightening.
Tape Measure May be useful in planning Bracket configuration and positioning. Caulking Gun Used to direct sealant into penetrations to avoid leaking. Compatible Sealant Spirit Level Sealant compatible with your specific installation. Used to ensure panel is level and/or plumb to the mounting surface and orientation. WARNING: Installation on shingle roofs is not recommended. System is not designed with these roof types in mind.

NOTE: Orient panel in level/plumb layout as desired before fixing in position.
NOTE: Begin new fastener at indicated location first to secure panel in level plumb/level layout. Repeat for all fastener locations.
NOTE: Seal around all edges of bracket and screws. Repeat for all brackets.
Install Panel to flat RV Roofs Installation on to the roofs of RV’s typically requires more specialized instruction due to the nature of construction of most commercially available RV roofs. Please note that this section includes the use of a fastener type NOT included in the Bracket kit. This section is included for convenience of customers installing to an RV roof. The instructions listed in this section are a modification of the normal installation, all other steps are to be completed normally.
Used to drill clearance holes for well nuts in roof top. Cordless Drill Drill Bit Used with Cordless Drill to create clearance holes for the well nuts. Must be matched to the well nut’s outer diameter. Recommended variety requires 3/8” bit.
- NOTE: Mark all hole locations in this step as the panel must be removed for well nut insertion.
(I) NOTE: Use of sealant is optional with a well nut but sealing will add extra assurance. Seal under well nut head. Repeat for all holes.
NOTE: Orient panel in level/plumb layout as desired before fixing in position.
NOTE: Screw has compressed and expanded the well nut, binding into the roof material.
Repeat for all fasteners.
Install Panel to General Mounting Curved Surface NOTE: Adjust the angle between two brackets to match the curved surface.
