Introduction
Please review this manual thoroughly before installing your Roof-Tech system. Aside from
reading this manual, please review the P.E. Stamped Engineering Letters for the RT-MINI
products for your State. This manual provides supporting documentation for the installation
of RT-MINI products.
We recommend installer to carefully review the instructions provided by the
other manufacturers of the products being installed with the RT-Mini and
become acquainted with OSHAs safety procedures prior to installing the PV
system.
The installer is solely responsible for:
Handling and installing the PV modules and rail system according to the manufacturers
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.
PE Stamped letters for the rail option are available at https://roof-tech.us/support/
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.
