Note: At this juncture, MLPE manufacturers may have test methods for checking the integrity
of the MLPE & the electrical connections. Refer to the MLPE manufacturer’s installation
instructions for the process.
Step 4c:
Align & Attach the Solar Module Assemblies to the Deck...
Starting from the rightmost
module assembly in the row, align the inner edge of the module with the edge of the starter
bar, per Figure 41. This step is critical to ensure that the system flashes properly.
WARNING: Before attaching the solar mounting feet to the deck, ensure that no electrical
cables are inadvertently routed directly under the solar mounting feet.
Use three Drill-Tec™ Roofing Fasteners per foot to attach the rightmost solar module
assembly to the deck (Figure 42, next page). Follow proper wire management techniques
before attaching the solar module assembly to the deck. Continue attaching the row of solar
module assemblies to the deck from right to left.
Note: The install sequence is to always ‘place’ the solar module assemblies from
left to right
in each row. Next, ‘align & attach’ the solar module assemblies from
right to left
in each row.
