Step 1: Choose Location
The PV panel
should ideally be
placed above the
solar collectors.
Alternatively, choose
an unshaded area,
close enough to
allow the PV panel
wires to reach under
the roof jack into the attic. If the panel is to be
tilted, don't shade the solar collectors.
Step 3: Affix Angle Mounts
Mark the location of
each mounting hole
and move the angle
mounts aside. Place
a nickel sized daub
of Sikaflex sealant at
each hole location.
Replace the angles
parallel to each
other, 27" apart outside-to-outside measurement.
Securely affix with two ¼"x 2" lag screws into the
trusses. Structural members penetrated by solar
system components meet code.

Step 2: Layout Angle Mounts
The two angle
mounts are designed
for the lag screws to
be affixed into two
roof trusses on 24-
inch centers. Locate
two trusses, place
angles parallel to
each other 27" apart outside-to-outside measure-
ment, with the mounting holes centered over the
trusses.
Step 4: Mount PV Panel
Lay the PV panel
inside the angles
with the wires
protruding below. At-
tach with (4) #14x1"
self-tapping screws.
If tilt mounting is
required, use two tilt
legs to set at proper
angle depending on
your latitude.
