  • Page 30 INSTALLATION - RACKING TILE ROOF INSTALLATION Note: The tile roof interface is only suitable for installation on timber rafters. 1. Determine and mark the position of the tile roof interfaces according to your plans. Remove the roof tiles at marked positions or, if possible, simply move the tiles up slightly.
  • Page 31 INSTALLATION - RACKING 6. For thin tiles (such as slate, shingles), a portion of tile must be cut and removed from the tile above the tile roof interface, creating a recess. Suitable flashing must then be installed around the tile roof interface, with an overlap of at least 150mm at the edges of the recess.
  • Page 32 INSTALLATION - RACKING TILT LEG INSTALLATION Note: Screws supplied with the tilt legs are wood screws suitable for timber only. Screws used in metal purlins must be suitable for metal structures and have a TPI (threads per inch) of 14. 1.
  • Page 33 INSTALLATION - RACKING RAIL INSTALLATION 1. Install rails onto the roof interfaces. If the assembly consists of rails of different lengths, always begin with the shortest piece. Install the rail loosely onto the roof interfaces using the Allen head bolt, washer, retaining washer and Z-modules supplied (2 to 3 turns of the bolt are adequate for loose installation).

  • Page 34: Installation - Wiring

    Only use plug connectors supplied with your Solahart PV system, or which are the same type/model and from the same manufacturer as those on the PV module. Ensure that all plug connectors and plug wiring are in good electrical and mechanical condition and are not subjected to mechanical stress.
  • Page 35 DC ISOLATOR WIRING The DC isolators utilised in Solahart PV Systems are not polarity sensitive (non polarised type) however for uniformity they should be wired as shown in the DC isolator wiring diagram below. Warning: DC isolator terminal screws must be tightened by hand only. Do not use power tools.

  • Page 36: Installation - Rooftop Isolator

    INSTALLATION - ROOFTOP ISOLATOR When installing the rooftop DC isolator, a Solahart Rooftop Isolator Subassembly must be used and must be mounted to the rail by following the steps below. To help prevent UV degradation, the Rooftop Isolator Subassembly should be mounted as far from the north side of the array as possible.

  • Page 37: Installation - Pv Modules

    The Solahart mounting system requires the use of modules of equal thickness for correct clamping. Note: Ensure only modules of the same type (model & thickness) are clamped side-by-side and electrically connected.
  • Page 38 INSTALLATION - PV MODULES The following procedure should be adhered to whilst wiring module strings to prevent the risk of electric shock or inadvertent short circuiting of live cables whilst wiring the Rooftop DC Isolator: Two extension leads per string should be constructed using the DC extension cable provided in the BOS Kit.
  • Page 39 INSTALLATION - PV MODULES Warning: Only Solahart approved earthing plates are to be used. Warning: Module frames must be located on top of earthing plate earth bond protrusions. Warning: Earthing plates are intended for single use only and must not be reused.
  • Page 40 INSTALLATION - PV MODULES MODULE MOUNTING PROCEDURE 1. Mid clamps and end clamps can be inserted into the rail by following the procedure shown, making sure the spring washer is correctly in place. For easy use of Z-modules, ensure Allen head bolt threads do not project through lower side of Z-module, so the Z-module is free to move along the rail.
  • Page 41 INSTALLATION - PV MODULES 7. Place an end clamp into the end of each rail. Ensure that the end clamps are tight against the module and are at least 25 mm from the rail ends. In positions where earthing plates are required, ensure the frame of module is located on top of the protrusions of the earthing plate.

    INSTALLATION - INVERTER For inverter installation instructions and warranty exclusions refer to the documents supplied with the inverter. The following points must also be observed when installing the inverter: Warning: Inverters have masses between 14 kg and 26 kg. Proper safe handling procedures must be employed when installing or handling these inverters.
  • Page 43 INSTALLATION - INVERTER AC CABLE SIZING TABLE Inverter AC cabling must be sized and installed in accordance with AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 3008 and any local applicable codes. Cables selected must have an appropriate current carrying capacity for the maximum fault current output of the inverter, and the Inverter AC isolator, taking into consideration relevant de-rating factors.
