• Choose to connect panels in rows or
columns based on consideration of
shading and potential difference.
• Panels can be installed with the junction
box at the top or bottom.
• Important: Use only genuine Staubli
MC4 when connecting to modules
For best results:
• Don’t rush it.
• Ensure the ashing edges are straight.
• It may be helpful to lubricate gaskets
before pushing in the ashing – use glass
cleaner for this.
ELECTRICAL
FIXING GUIDANCE
• Electrically test each solar panel as it is
installed.
• Cables can be passed through roong
membrane laps for connection inside the
building (recommended) or connected
to adjacent panels in the batten space.
Important:
• Flashings may have sharp edges, wear
gloves.
• The installation must comply with local
regulations on lightning protection.
• Marley recommends that the
panel installation is carried out by an
installer with roong competence.

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
A Interlocking tiles – set lower gap ‘X’
130-150mm. Reduce for thinner tiles,
if unsure - contact us
B Slate – for best results align the bottom
edge of panel with the slate line. This
may require that slates below the panels
are nailed in advance. If installing
before slating, set ‘Y’ to 130mm.
C Start at the bottom left of the array.
Move to the right as each column is
nished.
Important:
• Marley SolarTile®is intended for
installation above a continuous,
functional underfelt that terminates
in a gutter.

TILE BATTENS
Roong kits are provided with brackets suitable for
tile battens of 25mm thickness.
A For 22mm tile battens replace Rafter Brackets
(12) with brackets from B22 kit. Replace Combi
Rafter Brackets (13) with brackets from B22J kit.
B For tile battens of greater than 25mm thickness,
use the required number of 5mm bracket
spacers. Use SP-5 for Rafter Bracket (12) and
SP-5J for Combi Rafter Bracket (13).
C For roong without tile battens (direct x to deck)
replace standard brackets with brackets from
Sarking Bracket kits as shown, aligning brackets
to screw through into rafters below where they
cross panels.

Flashings push into the rubber gasket seal in the upper slot of the panel
frame. Take care to align the leading edge just above the yellow line
on the gasket. If lubrication is required, use glass cleaning uid.
Secure the edge of the side ashing using side xing tabs (17) and nail (18).

Repeat step 14 with TR kit. Remove the paper strip on the underside of the sill ashing and press down
onto the tiles. Ensure that the bitumen strip is well-bonded to the tiles. In some
circumstances, for example a dusty tile surface, the application of a low
modulus external silicone sealant will be required to achieve good adhesion.
For some tile types it may be necessary to chamfer the high points under the
sill ashing. Lighter tiles will sit more neatly if the foam surround is trimmed. For
slates, trim the foam to within 10mm of its base and atten over the outside
edge of the ashing.
