Disclaimer
The Installation Manual outlines the necessary procedures and standards for installing the Blikir RCP-
2 and ensuring its proper functionality. It is important that you carefully review this manual before
starting the installation process. Failure to follow the instructions provided in the manual could result in
property damage, personal injury, or even loss of life. Additionally, please note that the RCP-2 Limited
Warranty can be found on the Blikir website at https://www.blikir.com/resources.
PLEASE COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY MEASURES:
● Ensure safe installation of all electrical aspects of the array. All electrical installation and
procedures should be conducted by a licensed and bonded electrician or solar contractor.
Routine maintenance of a module or panel shall not involve breaking or disturbing the bonding
path of the system. All work must comply with national, state and local installation procedures,
product and safety standards.
● Comply with all applicable local, state and federal building and fire codes, as in effect from
time to time.
● Ensure all products are appropriate for the installation environment, and array under the site’s
loading conditions.
● Use only Blikir parts or parts recommended by Blikir.
● Review the Engineering Package and Certification Letters to confirm design specifications.
● Ensure the accuracy of all information provided.
● Validate foundation parameters prior to installation. A local geotechnical report may be
required to assess ground conditions. Blikir recommends consulting with a local engineer
familiar with local regulations and build site requirements, including soil conditions, terrain and
load criteria. All parameters may impact foundation requirements.
● Ensure bare copper grounding wire does not contact aluminum and zinc-plated steel
components, to prevent risk of galvanic corrosion.
● The Blikir carports and canopies are made of galvanized steel and spray painted with
protective and marine coating. This process ensures your carport or canopy will have teh
longest possible life expectancy. Do not drill or cut the steel components, that will expose the
steel and cause corrosion and void the warranty. Also, drilling or cutting the steel might
compromise the structure strength.
● If loose components or loose fasteners are found during periodic inspection, re-tighten
immediately. If corrosion is found, replace affected components immediately.
● Provide an appropriate method of direct-to-earth grounding according to the latest edition of
the National Electrical Code, including NEC 250: Grounding and Bonding, and NEC 690: Solar
Photovoltaic Systems.
● Disconnect AC power before servicing or removing modules, AC modules, inverters,
microinverters, Rapid Shutdown Devices (RSD) and power optimizers.
● Review module, inverter, Rapid Shutdown Device (RSD), racking (and any other components
that are not manufactured by Blikir) manufacturer’s documentation for compatibility and
compliance with warranty terms and conditions.
● Conform to STD UL 2703 (2015) Standard for Safety First Edition: Mounting Systems,

Maintenance
1. When you notice signs of rust or peeling/removal of paint, it is essential to address the issue
promptly by removing the rust and repainting the affected areas.
2. Whenever aluminum components are connected to the steel structure, it is crucial to apply
separation, such as EPDM rubber, to prevent galvanic corrosion.
3. Regularly inspect the bolts and ensure they are properly secured at least once a year. Follow the
specified torque specs for tightening.
4. In the event that the columns of the structure are impacted, such as by a vehicle collision,
immediate replacement of the columns is necessary for safety and structural integrity.
WARNING: The RCP-2 Carport/Canopy structure is constructed with hot galvanized steel and coated
with a marine-grade protective layer. It's important to note that any drilling or cutting of the structure
will expose the raw steel, making it susceptible to corrosion and potentially compromising the strength
and integrity of the structure. Such actions will void the warranty and may even lead to the collapse of
the structure under certain conditions. Therefore, we strongly advise against any modifications that
could compromise the structure's durability and safety.

Installation Manual
Torques
Horizontal Connections and Bolts Installation Guidelines
All horizontal connections within our system utilize sleeves, and the bolts are intended to
securely hold these sleeves in place. To ensure proper assembly, we recommend tightening
the bolts 1/4 to 1/3 turn beyond "snug tight“ or torque to 21 ft-lbs.
Please follow this torque guideline unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer for
specific connections subject to vibration or with bolt tightness requirements.
For the installation of base plate anchors and Solar Racking L-Feet, adhere to the
manufacturer's specifications provided in their respective installation manuals.
Important Maintenance Note:
To maintain the integrity of your installation over time, we kindly request that you periodically
inspect and tighten the bolts and nuts. This maintenance check should be conducted
regularly, and particularly after any significant weather events such as storms or
earthquakes.
By performing these routine inspections and tightening, you help ensure the continued
stability and safety of your structure.

1 - Build Base
1.1 Mark Piers Locations
Mark the locations of the piers following the diagram.
Confirm that all angles are square. For a larger
version of the diagram, refer to page 9.
1.2 Dig Piers
Dig piers according to site conditions and system specifications in the Structural Engineering Package
(download at https://www.blikir.com/resources) and based on your structural engineer instructions for
foundations requirements.
Read section 1.5 of the installation manual before deciding on the depth of the piers. If you would like
to follow option B, dig deeper piers and cover the base anchors with gravel (to allow water to drain)
and top with concrete (instead of option A of using the base anchors decorative plates), add the
additional desired depth to the piers that you dig.
TILTED SURFACE: If the surface is tilted, you should dig the piers at the highest point deeper to
make sure all ballasts will eventually be leveled.
WARNING: Never install the carport tilted. The columns must be straight.
TIP: To measure how much deeper the highest point should be, connect 2 of the supplied solar rails
with the splice, position one end on the highest point, use a level to make sure it is leveled and
measure the space between the lower marked pier location to the rail. This is the additional depth you
need to dig the highest point location in order to have them leveled.
IMPORTANT: The structure's foundations should be calculated taking into account site conditions,
frost line, soil type, maximum wind and snow loads for the site location and the product mechanical
loading specifications. In some cases, a geotechnical study is required. Please consult with your local
AHJ and a structural engineer.
WARNING: In areas subject to freezing, pier depths may increase to resist freeze heave. Always
consult a structural engineer to confirm.
WARNING: Before you dig any holes, contact all utilities in the area to locate any underground lines,
pipes, and wiring.

1.3 Build Reinforcing Steel Grid and Fill Holes with Concrete
If you want to run the electric wires through the back columns, bend a conduit, run all the wires through
the conduit and lay it in the desired location.
NOTE: Not all carports and canopies are fabricated with wire path through the column. Make sure you
know where the wire run before pouring the concrete. In most models, the two back columns will have
wire path and EV charger assembly pilot holes.
GENERAL: Center all footings under columns above. Contractor shall locate all buried utilities prior to
excavation. Refer to the Structural Engineering Package Notes (download at
https://www.blikir.com/resources)
FOUNDATIONS: Footings are designed for an allowable soil bearing pressure of 1,5000 PSF.
CONCRETE: Concrete strength shall be as follows:
F’c W/C MIN CEMENT MAX AGGREGATE SIZE SLUMP
3000 PSI 0.58 470 LBS 1" 4” (+/-) 1”
Cement shall conform to ASTM C150, Type 1. Fly ash conforming to ASTM C618, Type F or Type C,
may be used to replace up to 20% of the cement content. Aggregate shall conform to ASTM C33.
Concrete shall be cured immediately after finishing operations.
REINFORCING STEEL: Reinforcing steel shall conform to ASTM A615, Grade 60, and shall be
securely tied in place with #16 annealed iron wire. Required clear concrete cover: 3” bottom and sides,
2” top.
SLOPED SURFACE: If the surface is sloped, you should dig the piers at the highest point deeper to
make sure all ballasts will eventually be leveled. In this case, you will need to fill the gap between the
base anchors and the surface with gravel to allow water to drain out of the column and base plate, if
penetrated. You can cover part with gravel and the remaining with more concrete after you complete
the installation.
If you choose to follow option B that is described in section 1.5 and install the base anchors lower than
the surface, pour the concrete up to the desired height under the surface.

1.5 Install footings
Mark the locations of the anchors and remove the column base plate template (1).
Using a concrete drill bit, create holes that are ⅛” larger than the specified rod size for your location. Install the
four concrete anchors (not provided by us) into the concrete. Please follow the installation instructions and torques
specified by the Encore manufacturer for the specific type being used.
OPTION A: Place the escutcheon plate (6) over the footing to conceal the concrete anchors and base plate (1).
OPTION B: As an alternative installation method, you may choose to dig the piers (section 1.2 of the installation
manual) 3” to 5” deeper than the specified requirement. Position the base anchors lower than the surface, and
after completing the installation, cover the base anchors with gravel and additional concrete to conceal the footing
in concrete. The use of gravel is necessary to facilitate proper water drainage.

1.4 Align the Base Plates
Wait for the concrete to solidify.
Your kit includes 1 base plate template.
Align the base plate template (1) with the horizontally punched hole facing forward.
Use the footings locations template to locate the other base plates accurately. You should measure exactly 18’
between the center of adjacent footings or 17’ between the internal edge of the base plate, and 25'-5 ½” between
the center of the base plate along the diagonal (see sketch on page 9 of this installation manual). These
measurements change when installing the EX-HD base plates, Tandem Kit or RCP-1 for one car.

In order to level the system, the corner sleeves (8, 9, 10, 11), straight connector sleeves (14), and
middle connector sleeves (15) are equipped with precut hex holes that perfectly accommodate the
provided flanged nuts (2).
Using these flanged nuts and 1” bolts, you can apply pressure to the beams (12, 13) during the final
assembly phase to level the roof of the structure.
To proceed, insert one flanged nut into each hex hole, ensuring the flange sits within the sleeve while
the hex nut protrudes from the hole. Next, secure each nut in place by screwing in a 1” bolt to prevent
it from falling out. Ensure that the bolt does not extend beyond the flange to avoid any interference
when later sliding the beams (12, 13) into the sleeves.
Keep in mind that you must connect all 36 bolts and nuts during the process.
Once the installation is complete, tighten all the bolts (2) to level the beams (12, 13) effectively.

2.3 Connect corners
5’’ Sleeves
Extension
There are four types of corner
connectors:
Corner connectors A (8) and A O.H. (9)
are designed to connect to the high 10’-
7’’ columns, with these connectors
featuring an angled down orientation.
Corner connectors B (10) and B O.H.
(11) are meant for the low 9’ columns,
and they have an angled up orientation.
It's important to note that corner
connector A (8) and A O.H. (9) have a
distinguishing feature: the position of the
extension relative to the sleeves.
Similarly, corner connector B (10) and B
O.H. (11) are mirror images of each
other.
Slide the corner connectors (8, 9, 10, 11)
onto the columns (4, 5) and firmly fasten
them using four of the provided 6” bolts,
eight washers (two per bolt), and four
nuts (2).

2.4 Connect beams to corner connectors
During this step, you will install two types of beams: Beams A (12),
which have pre-drilled holes, and Beams B (13), which do not have
holes.
Beams A (12) will be placed in the E-W direction, between corner
connectors of the same height. On the other hand, Beams B (13) will
be installed in the N-S direction, between corner connectors of
different heights.
To proceed, follow these steps for each type of beam:
For Beams A (with holes) (12):
1. Slide Beams A (12) onto Corner Connector A towards Corner
Connector A O.H and vice versa.
2. Slide Beams A (12) onto Corner Connector B towards Corner
Connector B O.H and vice versa.
3. Secure the beams with 6” bolts, using two washers for each bolt
and three nuts. To do this, slide a washer onto the bolt screw, insert
the bolt screw through the hole in the beam and corner connector,
then slide another washer onto the bolt before securing with a nut.
For Beams B (without holes) (13):
1. Slide Beams B (13) onto Corner Connector A towards Corner
Connector B O.H and vice versa.
2. Slide Beams B (13) onto Corner Connector B towards Corner
Connector A O.H and vice versa.
3. Secure the beams using the same method as with Beams A, with 6”
bolts, two washers for each bolt, and three nuts.
Finally, tighten the set screws you installed on the corner sleeves in
step 2.2 until the beams are appropriately leveled.

2.6 Connect middle beams
This step is similar to step 2.4 and involves installing beam
A (12) in the E-W direction and beam B (13) parts in the N-
S direction, as shown in the diagram.
Place the middle beam between the already installed
beams. Slide the connector sleeves back to cover both
beam pieces, and then secure them using the 6” bolts,
washers (2 per bolt, one on each side of the sleeve), and
nuts (3).
Finally, tighten the set screws you installed on the sleeves
in step 2.2 until the beams are appropriately leveled.

a. Slide Beams A (12) onto middle connector sleeves (15) and secure them using 6” bolts,
washers (2 per bolt, one on each side of the sleeve), and nuts (3). Tighten the set screws
from step 2.2 until the beams are leveled.
b. Install straight connector sleeves (14) on the beams installed in step 1. Ensure the precut
hex holes face the ground and fully position the sleeve on the beam, leaving space for the
middle beam to slide between the connected beams.
c. Place the middle beam between the installed beams. Slide the connector sleeves back to
cover both beam pieces, and secure them using 6” bolts, washers (2 per bolt, one on each
side of the sleeve), and nuts (3). Finally, tighten the set screws from step 2.2 until the beams
are appropriately leveled.
