F. Safety Measures (during installation and afterwards):
1. Use ladders, crawling boards and other safety equipment required for safe installation. Be sure
to wear appropriate personal protection equipment such as proper gloves, safety glasses, etc.
Use all safety measures required according to local safety regulations.
2. Always use appropriate scaffolding to service panels. Scaffolding should provide proper
worker safety and ensure proper placement and distribution of weight to avoid
damage to panels.
Do not walk on panels for fear of falling and other severe bodily harm.
3. Never leave SunSky panels unattended on the roof until all the required fasteners have been
appropriately installed or the panels secured to the supporting structure.
4. Always follow local and/or national building and OSHA safety codes.
G. Panel Orientation:
1. SunSky’s exterior surface is UV resistant, indicated by labeled strips on protected side.
Install the panel with the labeled side out.
The protected side is up when panel edges are both pointing down.
2. Installation Direction: For multi-panel runs, begin installation of SunSky on the side away from
wind and rain direction.
H. General Information for Installation:
1. Roof Pitch: SunSky performs best when installed at pitch rates of 10 percent
(1":10" slope or 5.7°) or more. If installed at a lower pitch, additional sealing should be applied
to ensure weather resistance. A minimum slope of more than 5% is recommended when
installing SunSky.
2. Load Rating and Maximum Recommended Distance (Typical profile variations are
considered the same): The depicted distances refer to a single panel, single-span installation
on surrounding supportive compatible metal cladding.
2.1 Load Rating Values: SunSky panels load rating will vary according to the arrangement of
panel(s) and existing or designed spans, as mentioned above.
