Introduction
Please review this manual thoroughly before installing your Roof-Tech system.
Aside from reading this manual, please review the PE Stamped Engineering
Certification for the Roof-Tech APEX Solar products for your State. The Roof
Tech Structural Stamped letters are prepared based on 2 layers of asphalt
shingles. This manual provides supporting documentation for RT-APEX.
We recommend installer to carefully review the instructions provided
by the PV module manufacturer and become acquainted with OSHA’s
safety procedures prior to installing the PV system.
The installer is solely responsible for:
・ Handling and installing the PV modules according to the manufacturer’s
instruction, with special attention for the suggested clamping locations on the
frame.
・ Complying with all applicable local or national building codes, standards and
industry best practices including any code that may supersede this manual.
・ Ensuring that Roof-Tech’s and other products are appropriate for the
particular installation and the installation location.
・ Ensuring that the roof, its rafters, connections, and other structural support
members can support the array under all code level loading conditions.
・ Using only Roof-Tech parts and installer-supplied parts as specified by Roof-
Tech. (Substitution of parts may void the warranty and invalidate the letters
of certification.)
・ Verifying the strength of any alternate mounting devices used in lieu of the
anchoring screws.
・ Maintaining the waterproof integrity of the roof.
・ Ensuring safe installation of all electrical and mechanical aspects of the PV
array.
・ Ensuring correct and appropriate design parameters are used in determining
the design loading used for design of the specific installation. Parameters,
such as snow loading, wind speed, exposure and topographic factor should be
confirmed with the local building official or a licensed professional engineer.
To maintain the flashing performance, avoid installation
when the temperature is below 22F or above 176F.
RT Butyl must be installed on a dry surface.
