UII~RAC" Installation ManualSoI.I - SunFrame'" Code-Compliant Planning and Assembly
Installing the array
Safe, efficient SunFrame installation involves three principal
tasks:
A. Laying out the installation area and planning for mate-
rial conservation.
B. Installing footings and rails, beginning with the lowest
rail and moving up the roof.
C. Placing modules and cap strips, beginning with the
highest row and moving down the roof.
The following illustrated steps describe the procedure in detail.
Before beginning, please note these important considerations.
Footings must be lagged into rafrers. Never attach them to the
decking alone, which leaves both the array and roof susceptible
to severe damage.
For array widths or lengths greater than 32feer, contact Uni-
Rae concerning thermal expansion issues.
For roof slopes greater than 45 degress, consult UniRac.
Sample layout, illustrated In Figure 4
Assumptions: 12 modules (60' x 36 '), arranged in 3 rows of 4 modules
Arraywidth = 144' (36' module width x4 modules perrow) = 144'
Arrayleogth = 180' (60' module length x 3 rows)
+ 3' (1-112' end rail widthx2 rails)
+ 1-112' (3/4'between-module raiI width x 2 rails)

1. LayIng out the Installation area
Always install SunFrame rails perpendicular to rafteD;.
(These instructions assume typical rafters that run 6- '
gutter to the peak of the roof. If this is not the case, contact:
UniRac.) Rails are typically mounted horizontally (parallel
to the edge of the roof), and must be mounted within 10
degrees of horizon tal.
Leave adequate room to move safely around the array dur-
ing installation. During module installation, you will need
to slide one module in each row about a foot beyond the end
of the rails on one side. Using the number of rows and the
number of modules per row in your installation, determine
the size or your array area following Figure 4.
2. Installing the lowest row of L-feet and rail
Install L-reet directly onto low profile roofing material such
as asphalt shingles or sheet metal. (For high profile roofs,
such as tile or shake, use optional standoffs with flashing to
raise L-reet. L-feet must be flush with or above the highest
point of the roof surface.)
L-feet can be placed with the double-slotted side against the
roof surface (illustrations in this manual show this arrange-
ment) or with the single-slotted side against the roof (which
increases air circuIation beneath modules). Module-to-roof
dimensions are listed on page 12 for both arrangements.
Install the first row ofL-reet at the lower edge of the instal-
lation area (Fig. 5). Ensure reet are aligned by using a cbalk
line. (A SunFrame rail can also be used as a straight edge.)
Installation ManualBoI.I - SunFrame'" Code-Compliant Planning and Assembly UII~RAce
Position the L-feet with respect
to the lower edge of the roof as
illustrated in Figures 5 and 6.
Drill a 3/16-inch pilot hole
through roof into the center of
rafter at each L-foot lag screw
hole location. Squirt weather-
proof sealant into the hole and
onto shafts of the Jag screws.
Seal the underside of the L-feet
with a suitable weatherproof
sealant. Figure 6. L-Foot orientation.
Fasten the L-feet to the roof with the lag screws. If the double
slotted sides of the L-ftet are ogoinst the roof, lag through
the slot ""arest the bend in the L-foot (Figs. 5 and 6).
Cut the rails to your array width, being sure to keep rail slots
free of roofing grit or other debris. If your installation requires
splices, assemble them prior to attaching L-feet (see "Splicing
requirements," below, and "Material planning for rails and cap
strips," p. Il).Ifmore than one spike is Wiedon a rail, s/ide L-
foot bolt(s) into the footing slot(s) of the interior rail segment(s)
before splicing.
Slide the 3lB-inch mounting bolts into the footing slots.
Loosely attach the rails to the L.feet with the flange nuts.
Ensure that rails are oriented with respect to the L-feet as
shown in Figure 6. Aligu the ends of the rail to the edge of the
installation area. Ensure that the rail is straight and parallel to
the edge of the roof. Securely tighten the lag screws.
3. Laying out and instaIling the next row ofL-feet
Position the second row ofL-feet in accordance with Figure 7.
Ensure that you measure between the lower bolt hole centers
of each rowofL feet. Install the second rowofL-feet in the
same manner and orientation as the first row, but leave the lag
screws a half turn loose. Be aware of the set.up time of your
sealant; the L-feet will not be fully tightened until Step. 4.

Footing and splicing requirements
The following criteria must be met to ensure code compli-
ance of SunFrame installations.
Some of these criteria involve short sections of raiL In practice,
these can WiUal(y be avoided (while maintaining code compli-
ance) by effective planning. See "Material planningfor rails
and cop strips" (p. 11) for one eJ<<lmple.
1. The installer is solely responsible for ensuring
that the roof and its rafters can support the array and
espected loads associated with the array.
2. Foot spacing along the rail (A in illustration be-
low) is to be no more than 48 inches. (See also "Plan-
ning code-compliant SunFrame intstallations," pp. 5-7,
especially step 4, concerning maximum foot spacing.)
3. Ovethang (B) must be no more than half the
length of the maximum footer spacing (A). For ex-
ample, if Span A is 32 inches, Overhang B should not
exceed 16 inches.
4. In a spliced length of rail, all end sections must be
supported by no less than two L-feet.
~~
5. In a spliced length of rail, all interior rail sections
must be supported by no less than 1 L-foot.
6. Interior rail sections supported by only 1 L-foot
must be adjacent, on at least one side, to a rail section
supported by no less than two L-feet.
7. Rail sections longer than half the footer spacing
require no fewer than two L-feet.
B. Long rails require slip joints (for thermal expan-
sion) every 32 feet. Before installing rails longer than
32 fee~ contact UniRac.
9. Total desigu loads per footer (live load plus dead
load) shall not exceed 1,000 pounds.

4.1nstaJ1ing the second rails
Install and align the second rail in the same manner
and orientation as the first rail. After rail alignment,
securely tighten the rail mounting bolts to between
30 and 35 foot.pounds.
Lay one module in place at one end of the rails, and
snug the upper rail (Fig. 8), leaving no gap between
the ends of the modules and either rail. (If pan-head
screw heads represent the true end of the modules,
be sure the screw heads touch the rails on both
ends.) Securely tighten the lag screw on that end.
Slide the module down the rails, snugging the rails
and securing the remaining lag screws snug tight as
you go.
5. Installing remaining loteet and rails
Install the L-feet and the rails for the remaining
rows, following Steps 3 and 4. You may use the
same module to snug all the rows. When complete,
confirm that:
. All rails are fitted and aligned.
. All footing bolts and lag screws
are secure.
. The module used for fitting is
resting (but not secured) in the
highest row.
6. Securing the first module
Gather sufficient lengths of cap strip
to cover the length of the first rail. For
maximum visual appeal and material
conservation see "Material planning for
rails and cap strips" (p. 11).
Slide the first module into final position at
one end of the array. Lay the remainging
modules in the top row module, leaving
a gap about a foot wide between the first
and second modules (Fig. 9).
The temporary gap allows the installer to
place one of his feet between modules. He
can access the section of the cap strip he
needs to secure while leaning toward the
peak of the roof. For the time being, the last module may
overhang the rail by up to one third its width.
Attach the end of the cap strip with the No. 12 self-drilling
screws (Fig. 9, inset), so that the upper end of the first module
is secure.

7. Installing the remaining modules in the top row
Slide the next module into final position and install the screws
to secure it (Fig. 10). For a neat installetion, use cable clamps
with self-tapping screws to attach excess cable to the rail
beneath the flanges.

Continue the process until all modules in the top row are in
final place and secured from the top. When complete, every
prepunched hole in the cap strip will be secured by a screw,
and the top end of the first row of modules will be secure.
8. Installing the remaining modules row by row
Repeat Steps 6 and 7 for the remaing rows (Fig, 11). Each
subsequent cap strip will secure the tops to the modules being
installed and the bottoms of the modules in the row above.
Place the final cap strip in the lowest rail, securing the bottom
of the lowest module row.
Stepping gap
FIgure 11. As modules slide Into place, the stEpping gap sbifts,
always allowing acce.. to the section of cap strip being secured.

Material planning for rails and cap strips
lYPically, 192-inch standard rail and cap strip lengths will
not match the size of your array. Preplanning material use
for your particular array can prevent structural or asthetic
problems, particularly those caused by very short lengths of rail
or cap strip.
Stuctural requirements for rails are detailed in "Footing and
splicing requirement" (p. 9), Structurally, cap strips require:
" A screw in every prepunched hole (which occur ev-
ery 16 inches, beginning 8 inches from the ends of
the rails). If it is ever necessary to make a new hole
in a cap strip, drill a lI4-inch hole before installing
the self-drilling screw.
" One screw no more than 8 inches from the end of
each segment.
For maximum asthetic appeal:
" Cap strip screws on every rail should align (see, for
example, the center line holes in the illustration
below).
" End screws should be equidistant from both sides of
the array.

The example below assumes an array of three rows, each
holding five modules 41 inches wide. Thus, four 20S-inch
rail-<:ap strip assemblies need to be cut and spliced from
192-inch sections of rail and cap strip. The example illus-
trates one means of doing so, which meets all structural and
aesthetic requirements while conserving material.
Rails segments come from five 192-inch lengths, lettered A
tbru E. Rail A, for example, is cut into two 96-inch segments,
with one segment spliced into each of the first two rails.
Sintilarly, five 192-inch cap strips are numbered V through Z.
AU cap strip segments are cut at the midpoint between
prepunched screw holes. For each rail, start with the cap
strip segment that crosses the array center line, and align the
appropriate hole with the center line.
Position each cap strip onto its rail and mark its trim point,
Remove and trim before final mounting.
Code compliance note: If your planning sketch shows
that end holes will be more than 8 inches from the ends
of the rails, re-start by a1ignlng a midpoint between holes
with the array center line.

Frequently asked questions about standoffs and roof variations
How high above the roof does SunFrame raise the PV
modules?
The answer depends on whether standoffs are used with
the L-feet, and if so, what size. The illusttations at right
provide dimensions for all cases.
How can I seal the roof penetration required when
standoffs are lagged below the roofing material?
Many types and brands of flashing can be used with Sun-
Frame. However, UniRac designed them for Oatey@ 1-114.
to 1-112. "No-Calk" flashing. A wide variety of flashings
are described at www.oatey.com. Your choice of sealant
depends on roofing material.
How do I attach SunFrame to a standing-seam metal
roof?
A good solution comes from Metal Roof Innovations, Ltd.
(MRI). It manufactures the S-51 N clamp, designed to attach
a wide variety of products to most standing-seam metal
roofs. It is an elegant solution that eliminates flashings
altogether.
SunFrame L-reet will mountto the top ofthe S-51 clamps
with the 3/B-inch stainless steel bolt provided with the S-5!
