Fitting Instructions
Attach the four aluminium fitting brackets
to the side of the panel using the supplied
stainless-steel screws, the brackets are
normally attached to the longest side of
the solar module at either end ensuring the
brackets are flush with the top of the panel
frame (thereby leaving a gap between the
bottom of the panel frame and the roof)
The stainless steel screws are best placed at
the frame centre, avoid inserting the screws
at the top of the frame as the glass may be
damaged. When drilling the pilot hole keep the
drill (3.2mm) bit as level as possible to avoid
damage to the glass.
Place the panel on the roof position where it is
to be fixed and draw a pencil line around the
footprint of the brackets.
All areas that are to be bonded, can be
roughened with an abrasive material, this will
increase the surface area and improve the
strength of the bond.
Ideally the panel should be fixed above the
cable entry hole. Clean the area on your
motorhome, caravan or boat where each
bracket will be secured. Clean all contamination
and debris, using an alcohol-based fluid or
wipe for final cleaning, this will remove any
residue or grease from the surface and ensure
a good bond between the bracket and the roof
material. Also clean the feet of the brackets.
(Make sure all components to be bonded are
clean, oil free and dry).
Apply the bonding agent (around a 6mm
thickness of bonding agent is ideal) to the
edge of each bracket and then, possibly with
assistance, turn the panel so that the solar cells
are facing upwards and bond the panel to the
roof, positioning the brackets in the pencil lines
previously marked. Alternately, the bonding
agent can be applied to the roof material and
the panel placed on.
Bed the panel down firmly, do not press down
so that all bonding agent is expelled, leave
2-3mm of bonding agent between surfaces.
Some larger panels (150+) may need six
brackets, four fitted as detailed, with one extra
bracket in the middle of the longest side.
Note – bonding agent requires 24 hours to
properly cure. We would therefore recommend
that the vehicle is not moved for this period.
