Flat rooF application 

Framed and frameless PV - Modules

Assembly sequence of the flat roof support with Frameless  
PV Modules:

The assembly sequence for the base rails and preassembled triangles are 
the same as described in sections 1.1 to 6.3. 

See Figure 9.1

(Torque: 6 to 8 ft. lbs.)

Now, position the thin-film end clamp and thin-film mid clamp into the 
module rack slot with the T-Bolts. Clamps should be attached ¼ of the way 
down from the edge of the module. 

See Figure 9.2

Then, slide the module into the thin-film end clamp and tighten the T-Bolts 
clockwise. (Torque: 6 to 8 ft. lbs.)

Next, slide the thin-film mid clamp onto the module and tighten the T-Bolts by 
turning hex nuts clockwise. 

See Figure 9.3 

(Torque: 6 to 8 ft. lbs.)

Check for correct alignment of the 
hammer-head bolts in the mounting rail 
slot. The line on back of T-Blot needs to 
be perpendicular to the mounting rail. 

See Figure 9.4
