Step 2b:
Install the Adjustable Feet...
Each solar module receives 3-5 Adjustable Feet, depending on
local regulations and environmental conditions. Check the approved system drawings for your
installation to determine the proper number.
After hooking the Foot onto the channel along
the solar module frame, rotate it into position and align the pre-drilled hole. Attach the Foot
using the hex grounding screw into the pre-drilled hole (
Figure 24
, next page). Torque the
screw to 40 inch-pounds (4.5
Nm). Repeat this step until all the Adjustable Feet are installed
as shown in
Figure 25
.
