accuracy of the installation. Using high quality engineered components

SolarTerrace III®™ saves developers and installers, time and money when

delivering large scale projects.

Please review this manual thoroughly before installing your SolarTerrace III™

system. This manual provides (1) supporting documentation for building permit

applications relating to PV-ezRack SolarTerrace III Mounting system, and (2)

planning and installation instructions for SolarTerrace III.

SolarTerrace III™ parts, when installed in accordance with this guide, will be

structurally adequate and will meet the AS/NZS 1170 standards. During the
