Page 3: Important Safety Instructions
Consult your local authority for guidelines and requirements for building or structural fire safety. NOTE TO TRAINED PROFESSIONALS Tesla Solarglass is slippery and is a fall hazard. Only access a Solarglass roof with appropriate DANGER: safety equipment and while wearing personal fall protection. An approved and safe walking platform should be used when accessing the roof to prevent falls, and damage to the roof. - Page 4 SOLARGLASS MODULE INFORMATION CERTIFICATIONS UL Listed ETL Listed UL 61730 UL 790 Class A UL 9703 TAS100 UL 1741 ASTM D3161 Class F ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS Maximum open circuit voltage rating of connected branch circuits per diode (at STC): 13.34 V...
- Page 5 SOLARGLASS SYSTEM OVERVIEW A Solarglass roof functions in fundamentally the same way as traditional roof-mounted PV systems. Sunlight is converted to DC electricity at each individual module. Each module is individually connected to a diode in series “strings” of up to four modules side-by-side. The Diode Harness directs the collected energy to a typical string inverter.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPONENTS Evaluate preliminary PV layout prior to tear-off to verify that arrays will fit as designed. PV array layout must follow plan set when possible. Always communicate field changes with the installation hotline team. Field changes may cause BOM change (Diode Harness length and count, Branch Jumper length and count, Partial Tile count). - Page 7 PV MODULE DIODE TRUNK HARNESS Model #SR60T1 Model #SRDTH Listed to UL 9703 Listed to UL 61730 UL 790 Class A ASTM D3161 Class F TAS100 FOOT WITH SUPPORT FOOTLAP Model #SR-FOOTSUP Model #SR-FOOTLAP Listed to UL 790 Class A Listed to UL 790 Class A ASTM D3161 Class F ASTM D3161 Class F...
- Page 8 OSB: minimum 3/8” thickness Solid sheathing boards: nominal 1x4, closely fitted Do not install Tesla Solarglass over widely spaced sheathing boards (sometimes referred to as “skip sheathing”). Retrofitting the existing structure with solid sheathing would be necessary. Verify the capacity of the existing structure to carry this additional load. As this procedure is beyond the scope of this manual, contact Tesla for engineering support prior to such modification.

Page 13: Electrical Safety Precautions
In installations not under the requirements of the NEC, multiply the values of Isc and Voc marked on the Solarglass PV Modules by a factor of 1.25 when determining component voltage ratings, conductor ampacities, overcurrent device ratings, and size of controls connected to the PV output. -
Page 14: Material Handling
MATERIAL HANDLING • Do not handle PV Modules under wet conditions unless wearing appropriate protective equipment. • Do not attempt to make an electrical connection with wet, soiled, or otherwise faulty connectors. • Do not wear metallic rings, watchbands, earrings, nose rings, lip rings, or other metallic objects while installing or troubleshooting PV systems. - Page 15 UNDERLAYMENT AND DECK LEVEL FLASHING Firestone Clad-Gard is a self-adhering underlayment. Mechanical fasteners are not required under standard installation conditions, blind nail as necessary. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for full details. First determine the layout direction for underlayment, either Standard or Banded. Start with a half-width strip at the edge of the roof (eave or rake).
- Page 16 STARTER COURSE | FULL TILE The start of the array is indicated in the project planset. If the first tile is a full tile, use the Starter Course Jig in the orientation shown above to position the first row of feet. Ensure that the inside edge of the Starter Trim is free of any debris that would push up the jig from its correct position.
- Page 17 STARTER COURSE | PARTIAL TILE The start of the array is indicated in the project planset. If the first tile is a partial tile, use the Starter Course Jig in the orientation shown above to position the first row of feet. 1.
- Page 18 ARRAY LAYOUT & SECOND ROW Continue the Roofing Tile and Partial Tile uproof row by row. 1. Position the row spacing (tile reveal) using the timing marks on the Footlap. 2. Adjacent Roofing Tiles will share a Footlap. 3. Engage the Uplift Clips, mounting each tile to as many feet as possible and to a minimum of three feet in edge cases.
- Page 19 PASS THROUGH BOX Mark layout of electrical components by snapping chalklines where tile courses, Diode Trunk Harnesses, and the Pass Through Box will be located. 1. Verify transition location on plan set (must be within 5’ max conductor length from RSD unit). 2.
- Page 20 RAPID SHUTDOWN DEVICE Verify that the project plan set places the Rapid Shutdown Device (RSD) in the correct location per the NEC code for this site. 1. Attach the input conduit to the RSD. Connect the input connectors coming from the Pass Through Box.
