COLLECTOR ROOF MOUNTING – SHINGLE ROOFS

NOTE: A secure, permanent connection to the roof is important to the performance and
longevity of the SunStar system. Even more important, however, is to ensure no harm is done
to the structural integrity or weatherproofing of the host roof. It is highly recommended that
approved roof sealants and flashings be used when making any roof penetrations.
