Mounting Instructions

Double layer of tape.

Once the strips are attached to the panel, proceed to carefully lay the panel into position and remove

the red plastic layer. Gently apply pressure in between the cells, along the strips, ideally with a roller.

Ensure you do not apply excessive force or push on the cells where there is no strip behind as this will

damage the cell.

Wait time of tape to full strength:

20 minutes – 50% strength

1 hour – 75% strength

1 day – 90% strength

3 days – 100% strength

Method 2 – Exotronic 2.3mm VHB (Very High Bond) Tape or 3M 2.3mm 4991 Tape

Both above-mentioned tapes have been tested by Exotronic and deemed suitable for use in mounting

our solar panels. Any other brand of tape should not be used unless prior approval has been given.

Follow the instructions in Method 1, ignoring any mention of the plastic strips.

Method 3 – Silicone Based Adhesives

If using a Silicon based adhesive such as SG20 or Fix8, apply the product in strips running the width of

the panel underneath each cell gap.

Do not seal around the edge of the panel as this will trap air under the panel which will expand as the

panel heats up, causing damage to both the panel & mounting surface.
