The Clenergy PV-ezRack® SolarRoof™ has been 
developed as a universal PV-mounting system for 
roof-mounting on pitched and flat roofs. The use of 
patented aluminium base rails, Z-Module technology 
and telescopic mounting technology eliminates custom 
cutting and enables fast installation.
Please review this manual thoroughly before installing 
PV-ezRack® SolarRoof™ on slate tiles. This manual 
provides 
1) Supporting documentation for building permit 
applications relating to PV-ezRack® SolarRoof™ 
Universal PV Module Mounting System, 
2) Planning and installation instructions

The PV-ezRack® SolarRoof™ installation on slate tiles, 
when installed in accordance with this guide, will be 
structurally sound and will meet the AS/ NZS1170.2:2011 
Amdt 2- 2016 standard. During installation, and 
especially when working on the roof, please comply 
with the appropriate Occupational Health and Safety
