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
damaged
components.
CAUTION:
Be certain to re-
tighten all Module
Rail and PV
Module mounting
hardware and
torque to the
specified values.
Failure to do so
could lead to
structural failure,
damaged
components
and/or serious
personal injury.

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.
Install the northern Module first, followed by the two southern Modules last.
A. Place the PV Module 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 and install the two remaining PV Modules.
NOTE:
Finger-tighten the
Module Rails to
the Mounting
Angles while
installing. After the
Modules are
installed, re-tighten
to specified torque
values.
