- Remove the knockouts needed to penetrate the roof deck & install knockout fittings
Figure 3
- Slide the Sola Deck into place beneath the shingles and mark the knockout locations.
- Remove the Sola Deck and drill a hole through the roof deck 1/3 larger than the knockout holes.
- Determine the size and number of fittings or conduit needed to bring the circuit or string wiring into the Sola Deck from the roof. Use a knockout tool or drill to cut the fitting holes where the base dimples are located.
- Install the fittings, reposition the Sola Deck, and use the 1″ screws provided to fasten the SolaDeck to the roof deck from inside the enclosure (locations shown).
- Use roof cement to seal the shingles to the flashing & replace roof nails.
Figure 4
- Install electrical components needed to connect the solar panel circuits.
Figure 5
- When connections are complete, finish by installing the cover using the 8/32 x 3/8″ hex head screws provided.
Figure 1
- Determine the location for the tile base, the bottom of base should sit on roof deck just above the top edge of tile.
- Determine the location for the tile base, the bottom of base should sit on roof deck just above the top edge of tile.
- Lift up the base unit and remove the knockouts needed to penetrate the roof.
- Set the tile base on the roof deck and mark the knockout locations. Drill a hole 1/3 larger than the knockout size then install knockout fitting(s) in the tile base.
- Determine the size and number of fittings or conduit needed to bring the circuit or string wiring into the tile base. Use a knockout tool or drill to cut the fitting holes where the base dimples are located.
- Install the fittings, reposition the tile base and fasten the tile base to the roof deck using the provided 1″ screws.
- Cover the flashing with ice & water material.
Figure 2
- Using the provided alcohol wipe, clean the surface of the inside & outside collar of the flashing as well as the outside area of the base.
- Slide aluminum flashing onto base unit to determine your tile height.
- Mark flashing height on sides of the base collar to show where bead of mastic is needed & remove aluminum flashing.
- Place bead of the provided mastic along height marking and press aluminum flashing onto base.
Figure 3
- Form the flashing to match the tile profile.
- Apply another bead of mastic where the base and flashing meet.
Figure 4
- Replace tile over aluminum flashing.
- Install gland fitting or conduit and pull the PV wire through.
- If using a gland fitting, tighten the nut until the gland in the fitting is snug around the PV wire.
