S-5-PV Kit
The concept of combining photovoltaic arrays with standing seam metal roong is growing—
and for good reasons. A standing seam metal roof has a life expectancy consistent with that
of framed PV modules. A 30-year power source on a 40-year roof, along with zero-penetration
technology creates the most sustainable roof system available with alternative power
generation, all without compromising the roof's warranty!
The new S-5-PV Kit boasts an important breakthrough in PV mounting technology. It is one
of the rst solar module mounting solutions in the industry to be listed to the new UL subject
2703, a standard that covers both bonding and mounting. Furthermore, the S-5-PV Kit has
gained an ETL Listing to UL 1703.
The S-5-PV Kit features a groundbreaking new stainless steel mounting disk with twelve nodes
designed to ensure the module-to-module conductivity of anodized aluminum module
frames. This means the module is simply anchored with the kit and is automatically bonded.
No lugs or wire required except to connect one string of modules to another and to ground
the system. This connection detail represents installed electrical cost savings of $6-$12 per
unit. In most cases, the savings in time and materials is sucient to pay for the entire S-5-PV
Kit and clamp setup.

The S-5-PV Kit is furnished with the hardware shown at
right, excluding the attachment clamp, which is supplied
separately. Additional nuts will need to be ordered for
use on end applications. The S-5-PV Kit is compatible with
most common metal roong materials, including brass.
Providing exibility, S-5! oers one kit to accommodate all
PV frame thicknesses from 1.3" (33 mm) to 2.5" (64 mm).
The embossed panel guide makes the module placement
easier. The mounting disk is multi-directional and rails
are not required. Flat mounting disks are available for
use with the S-5! VersaBracket™ for exposed-fastened
trapezoidal proles.
Four strategically placed under-disk hooks assist in wire
management. The PV grab ears that hold the solar panel
in place are broader to allow for ease of installation and
precise module engagement.
The S-5-PV Kit ts the majority of solar panels on the
market. Using the S-5! mini clamps, it also ts the majority
of metal roofs on the market, including exposed-fastened
and corrugated. It is designed to universally t both eld
(two adjacent panels) and end conditions.
