In case power tools are required, Clenergy recommends the use of low speed only. High speed and impact drivers increase the risk of bolt galling (deadlock). If dead lock occurs and you need to cut fasteners, please make sure that there is no load on the fastener before you cut it.

Mark the line of the post array. Obtain the maximum allowed distance between posts and the minimum embedment length from the relevant engineering certificate and/or project drawing. If you don’t have this document, please contact Clenergy technical support. Mark the positions of the posts using a string and tape measure or GPS and drive the posts into the ground. Use a sting or a laser tool to make sure all posts are in line and set to the correct height according to the drawing. - Page 8 Installation Guide / SolarTerrace II-A Apply Zinc Coating to upper section of C Post after ramming Notes: -Apply zinc coating to upper section (circled) of C-Post after piling to repair any damage to the galvanisation caused by ramming. -The opening of the C-Post faces east or west if the panel faces the north. In case of slope ground installation, the opening of the C-Post is recommended to face the lower ground side to avoid catching the water.
