Introduction
1. Introduction
Clenergy PV-ezRack SolarRoof Isolator Shade
is an accessory in the PV-ezRack roof-top PV-
mounting system, suitable for PV array AC/
DC isolators. Utilising our patented Z-Module
technology, the Isolator Shade is easily fixed
to the rail and provides earthing continuity
through the rail.
When correctly installed, the Isolator Shade
is designed to function as a shroud to protect
isolator and its enclosure from direct exposure
to sunlight and rain as required by clause
4.3.3.3.2 of AS/NZS 5033:2014 Amdt 2: 2018.
The isolator must have a suitable enclosure
conforming to clause 4.3.3.3.1 of AS/NZS
5033:2014 Amdt 2: 2018. The isolator and its
enclosure fit inside the Isolator Shade.
Please review this guide thoroughly before
installing PV-ezRack SolarRoof Isolator Shade.
The installer is solely responsible for:
• Complying with all applicable local or national
building codes, including any that may
supersede this manual
• Ensuring that PV-ezRack and other products
are appropriate for the particular installation and
the installation environment
• Using only PV-ezRack parts and installer-
supplied parts as specified by the PV-ezRack
project plan. (substitution of parts may void the
warranty and invalidate the letter of certification)
• Recycle according to the local relevant statutes
• Removal by reversing the installation process
• Ensure that there are no less than two
professionals working on panel installation
• Ensure the installation of related electrical
equipment is performed by licenced
electricians
• Ensuring safe installation of all electrical
aspects of the PV array. This includes adequate
earth bonding of the PV array and PV-ezRack®
components as required in AS/NZS 5033-2014
AMDT 2 2-2018.

System Overview
3.2 Precautions During Stainless Steel Fastener Installation
Improper operation may lead to deadlock of Nuts and Bolts. The steps below should be applied to every stainless
steel nut and bolt assembly to reduce this risk.
3.2.1 Reduce the friction coefficient:
（1（Ensure that the thread surface is clean (no dirt or contaminant);
（2（Apply lubricant (grease or 40# engine oil) to fasteners prior to tightening to avoid galling or seizing of threads;
3.2.2 General installation instructions:
（1（Apply force to fasteners in the direction of thread;
（2（Apply force uniformly, to maintain the required torque;
（3（Professional tools and tool belts are recommended;
（4（Avoid using electric tools for final tightening;
（5（Avoid working at high temperatures.
3.2.3 Safe Torques
Please refer to safe torques defined in this guide.

anodized), please apply External Teeth Lock
Washers between Plain washer and Isolator
Bracket as highlighted in 3.1 (Overview of
Isolator Shade).
