8. Remove the panels, align the upper bracket with the marked line and fix the panel to
the steel roof using roofing screws or rivets.
9. Weather proof screw heads and rivets with silicone sealant.
10. Refit the panels between the brackets.
11. Centre the panels onto the brackets and secure the panels onto the brackets 20mm
above the bottom of the bracket using the hex screws supplied. Warning: Do not drill
above 20mm from the bottom of the bracket, as this may cause damage to the internal
workings of the panel and this will void the warranty.
12. Make all water connections, fit all valves and components as per the solar layout
diagram contained in these instructions.
13. Note: The panels should be covered fully to prevent the panels heating up to
temperatures that have potential to cause damage or injury during system fill or
commissioning.
FRAME INSTALLATION (Cyclone areas):
1. Select a suitable place to install the lower mounting rail on the
roof, align panel location as high as possible on the roof.
2. Locate lower rail and mark 4 bolt positions on the rail. The
bolts are positioned to line up with the peaks of the tin or tile
profile. DO NOT drill in the troughs of the roofing material.
Ensure the holes are a minimum of 120mm from the end of
the rail.
3. Drill the 4 bolt positons on the top of the rail using a 16-20mm
metal cutting hole saw, leaving a 5mm pilot hole through the
bottom of the rail.
4. Using the drilled rail as a guide mark and drill the roof material
with a 5mm pilot hole. This may not be needed for tin roofs, as
the screws supplied are self tapping.
5. For tile roofs drill the tiles using a 12-14mm concrete drill bit,
paying careful attention for any cracking in the tiles. Replace
any cracked tiles with a new tile before continuing.
6. Once the holes have been drilled fill the hole with silicone
sealant, and apply a 6mm bead around hole.
7. Apply silicone into the drilled hole then insert the Aluminium spacer tube into the
hole. This is not required for a tin roof.
