4 Layout 

Concepts

This chapter contains important information on the rules governing Zep Compatible array layouts.

4.1  Drop-In Direction

The PV module drop-in process is specific to Zep Solar hardware designs.

North-South.

 Roof attachments run along the vertical rafters. Modules are “dropped in” row by 

row going upwards, beginning at the Array Skirt, which is nearest to the eave.

NOTE:

East-West drop-ins, with the Array Skirt to one side, are not supported for ZS 
Comp, except in the rare case where the roof is supported by horizontal purlins 
instead of vertical rafters.

Is There a Preferred Portait or Landscape Orientation?

 ZS Comp can be installed in either 

Landscape or Portrait orientation. A Landscape orientation  will generally maximize spans in the 
East-West direction. 

Figure 4.1   Drop-In and Orientation Supported for ZS Comp
