Step 7: An alternate edge seal is to use Sikaflex 221 or 291 by applying a liberal
bead around the edge of the panel to seal from moisture and keep the wind
from pulling the edges of the panel up. If this method is used, the Sikaflex
will need at minimum 24 hours at room temperature (70 F) to cure before
service. It is the responsibility of the customer to verify the edge seal is
sufficiently cured before putting the trailer or box truck in service.
NOTE: Purkeys is not responsible for solar panel failure if the truck was put
into service before Sikaflex edge seal is cured.
Step 8: Install cables and properly attach wires per customer requirement. It
is recommended that panel wires are installed running off the back of the
trailer if possible. Keep in mind that cables are exposed to potentially harsh
conditions such as being hit by tree limbs, snow, rain etc.
