Attach Rail Mounts Each Rail-Mount consists of two parts, a 5/16 inch bolt and a clamp extrusion. The rail adapters have been designed to interface with offthe-shelf mounting products that have vertical leveling slots. Our Rail Mounts work with most products that have 5/16 inch or 3/8 inch bolt slots. We also offer our own L foot for mounting to products that have a flat mounting surface, such as seam clamps, exposed beams or Quick Mount Q Blocks. Install Rails Rails are sold in convenient 126 inch lenths.
Leveling Rails Start by leveling the bottom rail of the array first. Set the Rail Adapters near the middle of the leveling range and adjust as necessary to have visually level rails. Tighten the attachment bolts to the specified torque when they are aligned. Level the top rail of the array in the same manner. If there are multiple rows of rails in the array, use a string level or straight edge to help adjust the remaining rows to be level with the top and bottom rails.

Module Level Power Electronics Use the Tamarack MLPE Rail Adapter to attach Enphase microinverters or SolarEdge Optimizers to the rails. The large flat washer is installed between the mounting plate of the MLPE and the top of the rail. Tighten the bolt with a 1/2” socket to the proper torque. Wire Management Place electrical conductors and connectors at the bottom of the rail channels. Install the wire protection clips where necessary to keep wires in the channels. When using 1.
Module Installation Start module installation at one end of the rails. If there are multiple rows, start on the bottom row. Install a 50-50 clamp at the end of each rail with the side of the clamp with 2 bonding pins on the module frame. Push the channel nut into the rail. The integrated spring assembly will hold the clamp in place. Place the first module onto the rails so that it is centered over the rails.
Do a final check to be sure that all installation hardware on the array is properly tightened. Channel End Clamps Channel End Clamps may be used in place of the 50-50 clamps at the ends of rails. Channel Clamps secure the module frame from below and allow the rails to be cut flush to the edge of the array for a clean look. Insert channel end clamp in the rail. The module must be lifted slightly to slide the clamp under the frame.
