Solar Panel Installation Checklist
1.
Solar panels have best access to sunshine and NOT SHADED ANY TIME of
day.
2.
Solar panels are securely attached to the roof beams at the peak of the
corrugation.
3.
Solar panels are installed at a tilt to prevent build-up of dirt and rain water.
4.
Solar panel frame looks straight and panel is not twisted.
5.
Homerun cable is wrapped with extra protection (e.g. with conduit) in places it
might be damaged (sharp edges, doorways, etc.) and has a drip loop to
protect water from getting into the Solar Suitcase.
6.
All roof holes are sealed with silicone.
7.
Cables on the back of the solar panel have stress relief to prevent the cable
from being pulled.
