Photovoltaic quick bracket installation method

What is a photovoltaic mounting system?

Photovoltaic mounting systems (also called solar module racking) are used to fix solar panels on surfaces like roofs, building facades, or the ground. [ 1 ] These mounting systems generally enable retrofitting of solar panels on roofs or as part of the structure of the building (called BIPV). [ 2 ]

How do I connect a solar stack module to a pedestal?

Modules should be bonded to the Solar Stack pedestals with the manufacturer approved middle/end clamps. Grounding hardware (as a part of the module clamps) forms secure electrical bonds with both the module and the pedestal, resulting in many parallel grounding paths throughout the system.

Do I need a primer before installing solar stack pedestals?

Before foam adhesive and Solar Stack pedestals are installed to the roof, "primer" coating must be applied for stronger bond between the TPO roof and foam adhesive. Appropriate "primer" must be determined with the roof manufacturer to avoid warranty issues. Determine the spacing of Solar Stack pedestals for your solar array design.

How do I install a solar stack?

Mark the lines across the roof for all the mounts. Prepare the Solar Stack pedestals and place them next to the marked lines where they will be installed. Surface Preparation. All roof surfaces must be free of any debris, dirt, grease, oil, and standing water before adhesive is applied. Follow adhesive manufacturers application instructions.
