2 Mounting

2.1 Mounting on an asphalt roof

1. The assembly is ready to be attached to the mounting
hardware. Identify the location on the roof that the
mounting kit will be installed. A proper site assessment
should have been performed to determine the ideal location
of the solar collectors. The following image shows the space
neccessary for the varying numbers of collectors & racks to
be installed. Pictured are are the SQ-bracket fl ashing kits
that will fasten to the horizontal tilt racks. The distances
listed refer to the distance between the vertical mounting
peg on the fl ashing kit. Depending on which angle the
collectors will be mounted, the distances will vary.
