Assembly Instructions, Power Rail P14 (Version 2, Rev A)
About the product
The Power Rail top-clamping PV module
mounting system is engineered to reduce in-
stallation costs and provide maximum strength
for parallel-to-roof or tilt up mounting applica-
tions.
Designed with the professional PV solar in-
staller in mind, the top-clamping rails utilize a
single tool with a revolutionary RAD™ Fasten-
er for faster bolt placement. The unique shape
of the RAD provides an anti-rotation feature,
locking the bolt in the proper orientation when
installed. The high strength rigid rails also in-
clude an integral wiring channel for securing
cables and providing a professional finish.
The Power Rail Mounting System features
the industry’s broadest selection of mounting
supports, designed for secure and water tight
attachments to any roof style.
