Installation Manual 214 -- SolarMount Code-Compliant Planning and Assembly Part II. Procedures for code-compliant installations using the SolarMount Module Mounting System This bulletin is designed to support applications for build- 1. Determine the Basic WindSpeed lng permits for installations using SolarMount TM PV Module Mounting System, manufactured by UniRac, Inc. Follow the six steps below and the installation instructions on pages 9-20 to install SolarMount in compliance with the 2001 California Building Code and the UBC 199Z Before proceeding, note the following: · This bulletin addresses only wind loads on the as- sumption that wind produces the maximum load factor affecting an installation. Verify that other local factors, such as snow loads and earthquake effects, do not ex- ceed the wind loads. Give precedence to any factor that does. Wind loads are considered to act on the entire projected area, or may be perpendicular to any surface. · The roof on which the SolarMount will be installed must have the capacity to resist the combined Design Dead Load and Live Load per footing listed in Tables 2 and 3 on pages 6-Z at your installation site For the United States, see "Minimum Basic Wind Speeds in Miles per Hour," reproduced below. If your installation is outside the United States or if you need further assistance, consult a local professional engineer or your local building authority. Figure 1. Minimum Basic Wind Speeds. Reproduced from UBC~ Vol. 2, Structural Engineering Design Provisions, Chap. 16, Div. III, Wind Desig~ Fig. 16.1, "Minimum Basic Wind Speeds in Miles per Hour," p. 36. The map has been adopted by the 2001 California Building Code (Fig. 16-1, vol 2. p. 36). Installation Manual 214 SolarMount Code-Compliant Planning and Assembly 2. Determine the exposure category of your installation site The California Building Code* defines wind exposure catego- ries as follows: ma, OSURg B has terrain with buildings, forests or sur- face irregularities, covering at least 20 percent of the ground level area extending 1 mile (1.61 lan) or more from the site. mO,OSURE C has terrain that is flat and generally open, extending 1/: mile (0.81 km) or more from the site in any quadrant or having scattered obstrucffons extending one-half mile or more from the site in any full quadrant. This category includes flat or gently rolling open country and grasslands. Sites normally considered as F~posure B, but which are subject to topographic amplification or channelization, such as ridgetops or draws, shall be considered as Exposure ~/~,osuRg v represents the most severe exposure in ar- eas with basic wind speeds of 80 miles per hour (mph) (129 kin/h) or greater and has terrain that is flat and unobstructed facing large bodies of water over 1 mile (1.61 kin) or more in width relative to any quadrant of the building site. Exposure D extends inland from the shoreline 1/4 mile (0.40 kin) or 10 times the building height, whichever is greater. 3. Determine Design Wind Pressure required for your installation Design Wind Pressure is the amount of wind pressure that a structure is designed to withstand, expressed here in pounds per square foot (psf). To determine the Design Wind Pressure required for your installation, apply the following factors using Table 1: · yourBasicWindSpeed (determined in step l), · your exposure categnry (determined in step 2), and · the haight of your roof above the ground. If your values fall significantly outside the range of the table, or if your Design Wind Pressure requirement exceeds 50 psf, consult UniRae, a professional engineer, or your local building author/V/.

Foot spacing refers to the space between L-feet (or standoffs, ff applicable) along the same SolarMount rail (see Fig. 2, p. 8). If you are spacing feet to match a standard rafter spacing, con- sult Table 2 to determine your Minimum Design Live and Dead Loads per footing. (If you prefer to maximize foot spacing to minimize roof penetxations, skip to Step 4b on p. 8.) Locate the make and model of the PV module that you plan to install and the rafter spacing at your installation site. Read the Minimum Design Dead Load and read or extrapolate the Mini- mum Design Live Load for the Maximum Foot Spacing and the Design Wind Pressure you determined in step 3. To meet code, you must verify that the roof rafter assembly at your iastullati~n site has the capacity to resist the sum of the Design Dead and Live Loads. If they do not, try smaller footer spacing. (In this case, you may elect to use the procedures outlined in Step 4b.) If the result is st~ll not acceptable, relocate the array to a s~ronger area of the roof or strengthen the inadequate framing elements. For assistance, consult a local professional engineer. Go to step 5 on page 8. Installation Manual 214 -- SolarMount Code-Compliant Planning and Assembly Table 2.

Find the make and model of the PV module you plan to install, then read or extrapolate Foot Design L~ve Loads and Dead Loads at the maximum spacing. To meet code, you must verify that foot spacing is at or below the dimension listed and that the ranf rafter assembly at your installation site has the capacity to withstand the sum of the Design Dead Load and Design Live Load for the speci- fied spacing. If they do not, try smaller footer spacing. If the result is still not acceptable, relocate the array to a stronger area of the roof or strengthen the inadequate framing elements. For assistance, consult a local professional engineer. 5. Verify acceptable Rail End Overhang Rail End Overhang (Fig. 2) must equal 50 percent or less of foot spacing. Thus, i~ foot spacing is 72 inches, the Rail End Overhang can be up to 36 inches. In this case, two feet can support a rail of as much as 144 inches (72 inches between the feet and 36 inches of overhang at each end). 6. Ensure that Live Loads do not exceed Pull-Out Capacities Based on the characteristics of your roof rafter or truss lumber and the lag screws, consult Table 4 to determine the lag pull- out capacity per 1-inch thread depth. Compare that value to the minimum design live load per footing determined in Step 4a or 4b. Based on these values, determine the length of the lag-screw thread depth you require to resist the design live load. To ensure code compliance, the lag pull-out capacity per footing must be greater than the footing design live load. If your SolarMount requires standoffs, always use at least two lag screws to secure the standoff to the rafter. F/gure 2. $olarMount foot spacing refers to the distance between feet on the same raiL Over- hang, the distance from end of the rail W the first foot, may be no more than ha{f the foot spacing.

Note that $olarMount rails make excellent straight edges for doing layouts. Center the installation area over the rafters as much as pos- sible. Leave enough room to safely move around the array during installation. The width of the installation area is equal to the length of one module. The length of the installation area is equal to: · the total width of the modules, · plus 1 inchforeachspacebetweenmodules (formid- clamp), · plus 3 inches (llA inches for each set of end clamps). mode I I LOw-profile __ mede Figure 4.

Installation Manual 214 SolarMount Code-Compliant Planning and Assembly Laying out L-feet L-feet (Fig. 5) are used for installation through ex[sting roofing material, such as asphalt shingles or sheet metal. Use Figure 6 or Figure 7 below to locate and mark the L-feet lag bolt holes within the installation area. To meet code, you must use the foot spacing deter- mined in procedural steps 4a or 41) (pp..5, 8). When determining the distance be- tween the rafts in high-profile mode, keep in mind that the center of each raft will be offset from the Lffoot lag bolt holes by 13/4 inches. If multiple high-profile rows are to be iustal]ed adjacent to one another, it will not be possible for each row to be centered above the rafters. Adjust as needed, following the guidelines in Figure 7 as closely as possible. Figure 5 Figure 6. Low-profile layout 25% maximum · . . ~ ~ 1-3/4 '~ ~ / ~: ~ I ~ ~ l ~, " i ~ --~: "'-~" Figure 7.

Consult procedural step 6 and Table 4 (p. 8) to select the lag bolts that you must use to meet building code wind load requirements. Lag bolts are not provided with SolarMount rail sets. Squirt sealant into the hole, and on the shafts of the lag bolts. Seal the underside of the L-feet with a suitable weatherproof sealant. Securely fasten the L-feet to the roof with the lag bolts. Ensure that the L-feet face as shown in Figure 6 or Figure Z The single-dotted square side of the L-foot must always lie against the roof with the double-slotted side perpendicular to the roof. Installation Manual 214 -- SolarMount Code-Compliant Planning and Assembly Laying out standoffs Standoffs (Fig. 8) are used for flashed installations, such as those with tile and shake shingles. Use Figure 9 or Figure 10 to locate and mark the standofflag bolt holes within the installation area. To meet code, you must use the foot spacing determined in procedural steps 4a or 4b (pp. $, 8). Remove the tile or shake underneath each standoff location, exposing the roofing underlayment. Ensure that the standoff base lies fiat on the underlayment, but remove no more material than required for the flashings to be instafled properly.

Installing $olarMount rails Keep rail shits free of roofing grit or other debris. Foreign matter will cause bolts to bind as they slide in the slots. Installing Splices. If your installation uses SolarMount spflce bars, attach the rails together (Fig. 11) before mounting the rafts to the foot- ings. Use splice bars only with flush installations or those that use low-profile tilt legs. If using more than one splice per rail, contact UniRac concerning thermal expansion issues. Clamping boll slot Footing boll sial Figure 12. Foot-to-rail splice attachmear -Mounting slots Mounting Rails on Footings, Rails may be attached to either of two mounting holes in the footings (Fig. 12). Mount in the lower hole for a low profile, more aesthetically pleasing instal- lation. Mount in the upper hole for a higher profile, which will maximize airflow under the modules. This will cool them more and may enhance performance in hotter climates. Slide the ~A-inch mounting bolts into the footing bolt slots. Loosely attach the rails to the footings with the flange nuts. E~sure that the rails are oriented to the footings as shown in Figare 6, 7, 9, or 10, whichever is appropriate. Aligning the Rail Ends. Align one pair of rail ends to the edge of the instal- lation area (Fig. 13 or Fig. 14). The opposite pair of rail ends will overhang the side of the installation area. Do not trim them off until the installation is complete. In low-profile mode (Fig. 13), either end of the rails can be aligned, but the first module must be installed at the aligned end. Figure 14. High-profile mode For the safest high-profile installation (Fig. 14), the aligned end of the rails must face the lower edge of the roof. Securely tighten the flange nuts on the mounting boks after alignment is complete (28-32 ft lbs). Mount modules to the rails as soon as possible. Temperature changes may bow the rails within a few hours if module placement is delayed. Installation Manual 214 -- SolarMount Code-Compliant Planning and Assembly Installing the modules Prewiring Modules. If modules are the Plug and Play type, no prewiring is required, and you can proceed directly to "Installing the First Module" below. 1/2" ml nlm u m If modulas have standard J-boxes, each module should be prewired with one end of the intermodule cable for ease of installation. For safety reasons, module prewiring should not be performed on the roof. Leave covers off J-boxes. They will be installed when the modules are installed on the rails. Installing the First Module. In high-profile installations, the safety bolt and End cio rc flange nut must be fastened to the module bolt slot at the aligned (lower) end of each raft. It will prevent the lower end clamps and clamping bolts from sliding out of the rail slot durhag installation. If there is a return cable to the inverter, connect it to the first module. Close the J-box cover. Secure the first module with T-bolts and end clamps at the aligned end of each rail. Allow haft an inch between the rail ends and the end damps (Fig. 15). Finger tighten flange nuts, center and align the module as needed, and securely tighten the flange nuts (15 ft lbs). Installing the Other Modules. Lay the second module face down (glass to glass) on the first module. Connect intermodule cable to the second module and dose the J-box cover. Turn the second module face up (Fig. 16). With T-bolts, mid clamps, and flange nuts, secure the adjacent sides of the first and second modules. Align the second module and securely tighten the flange nuts (Fig. 17). For a neat installation, fasten cable clamps to rails with self-tapping screws. Figure 16 Repeat the procedure until all modules are installed. Attach the outside edge of the last module to the rall with end clamps, Trim off any excess fa/l, being careful not to cut into the roof. Allow haft an inch between the end damp and the end of the rail (Fig. 15). Check that all flange nuts on T-bolts are securely fastened.

Installation Manual 214 SolarMount Code-Compliant Planning and Assembly lag bolt centers module mounting holes Clip~ Distance between lag bolt centers - I/4"-~, ~.- ---- -~--I/4" module mounting holes Planning the installation area Decide on an arrangement for clips, rails, and L-feet (Fig. 20). Use Arrangement A if the full width of the rails contact the module. Otherwise use An'angement B. Caution: If you choose Arrangement B, either (1) use the upper mounting holes of the L-feet or (2) be certain that the L-feet and clip positions don't conflict. If rails must be parallel to the rafters, it is unlikely that they can be spaced to match rafters. In that case, add structural supports--either sleepers over the roof or mounting blocks beneath it. These additional members must meet code; if in doubt, consult a pro- fessional engineer. Never secure the footfugs to the roof decking alone. Such an arrangement will not meet code and leaves the installation and the roof itself vulnerable to severe damage from wind. Secure the footings in accordance with "Installing L-feet" (p. 11). Leave enough room to safely move around the array during installation. The width of a rall-modnle as- sembly equals the length of one module. Note that L-feet may extend beyond the width of the assembly by as much as 2 inches on each side. The length of the assembly equals the total width of the modules. Figure 20. Clip Arrangements A and B Installation Manual 214 SolarMount Code-Compliant Planning and Assembly UII~II~II[~' Laying out and installing L-feet L-feet are used for installation through ex~sting low profle roofing material, such as asphalt shingles or sheet metal. They are also used for most ground mount insmllations. To ensure that the L-feet will be easily accessible during flush installation: · Use the PV module mounting holes nearest the ends of the modules. · Situate the rails so that foot- ing bolt slots face outward. Use Figure 20 to determine spacing between feet on opposite rails. Foot spacing (along the same rail) and rail overhang depend on design wind loads. To meet code, you must use the foot spacing determined in procedural steps 4a or 4b (pp. 5, 8). Install half the L-feet: · If rails are perpendicular to rafters (Fig. 21), install the feet closest to the lower edge of the roof. · If rails are parallel to rafters (Fig 22), install the feet for one of the rails, but not both. For the L-feet being installed now, drill pilot holes through the roof into the center of the rafter at each lag bolt hole location. Consult Table 4 (p. 8) to select lag bolts to meet design wind loads. Squirt sealant into the hole and onto the shafts of the lag bolts. Seal the underside of the L-feet with a weath- erproof sealant. Securely fasten the L-feet to the roof with the lag bolts. Ensure that the L-feet face as shown in Figure 21 or Figure 22. Hold the rest of the L-feet and fasten- ers aside until the panels are corn plete and ready for installation. roof Figure 21. Rails laid out perpendicular to the rafters.

Installation Manual 214 SolarMount Code-Compliant Planning and Assembly Attaching modules to the rails Lay the modules for a given panel face down on a surface that will not damage the module glass. Align the edges of the modules and snug them together (Fig. 19, p. 15). Trim the rafts to the total width of the modules to be mounted. Place a rail adjacent to the outer mounting holes. Orient the footing bolt slot outward. Place a clip slot adjacent to the mounting holes, following the arrangement you selected earller (Fig. 20a or 20b, p. 16). Assemble the dips, mounting bolts, and flange nuts. Torque the flange nuts to 15 foot pounds. Wire the modules as needed. For safety reasons, module wiring should not be performed on a roof, For a neat installation, fasten cable damps to rails with self-tapping screws. Installation Manual 214 -- SolarMount Code-Compliant Planning and Assembly Installing, the module-rail assembly Bring the module-rail assembly to the installation site. Keep rail slots free of debris that might cause bolts to bind in the slots. Consider the weight of a fully assembled panel. UniRae recom- mends safety lines whenever llfting one to a roof. Align the panel with the previously installed L-feet. Slide %- inch L-foot mounting boIts onto the rall and align them with the L-feet mounting holes. Attach the panel to the L-feet and finger tighten the flange nuts. Rails may be attached to either of two mounting holes in the footings (Fig. 23). · Mount in the lower hole for a low, more aesthetically pleasing installation. · Or mount in the upper hole to maximize a cooling airflow under the modules. This may enhance perfor- mance in hotter climates. Adjust the position of the panel as needed m fit the instal- lation area. Slide the remaining L-feet bolts onto the other rail, attach L-feet, and finger tighten with flange nuts. Align L-feet with mounting holes previously drilled into roofi Insta~ lag bolts into remaining L-feet as described in "Laying out and installing L-feet" above. Torque all footing flange nuts to 30 foot-pounds. Verify that all lag bolts are securely fastened. FooTing bolt Figure 23.
