Step 4: Install the First Row of Solar Module Assemblies
Installing the first row of solar module assemblies involves 5 substeps as described below:
Step 4a: Hook the Solar Module Assemblies onto the Starter Bar...
Begin with the leftmost solar
module assembly in the row. Align the left side of the solar module assembly with the edge
of the starter bar, and slide it downward until it hooks into the starter bar (Figure 37).

Place this adjacent solar module assembly a few inches apart on the right side of the
previously installed solar module assembly. Hook this adjacent solar module assembly
downward into the starter bar. Slide the adjacent solar module assembly sideways into the
previously installed solar module assembly until it interlocks (Figure 38, next page). Repeat
these steps from left to right until a row of solar module assemblies is positioned.
