Before You Begin:
A. Select the correct trunk cable:
1. Mark the array footprint on the roof.
2. Locate rafters and determine attachment points.
3. Install roof attachments.
4. Install rails.
5. Level rails.
6. Torque attachment hardware.
7. Stage the trunk cable atop the rails according to circuit
layout; add terminator (if not yet installed) to the circuit end.
8. Install the Rooftop Transition Flashing (if composition
shingle roof); or equivalent.
9. Install the Rail-Mounted J-Box (RMJ), or equivalent, and
wire the non-terminator end of the trunk cable into it,
transitioning to the building wiring and equipment ground
conductor (EGC).
10.Attach a ground lug assembly to the rail, adjacent to the
RMJ.
11.Attach a 6 AWG copper ground wire to the lug, and connect
it to the EGC inside the RMJ using the included cable gland.
Install the cover on the RMJ.

B. Prepare the trunk cable:
• Determine the array circuit layout,
noting the number of connectors that
will NOT plug into a module (due to
row transition or irregular array shape),
then cut a section of trunk cable that
has one connector per module PLUS
that number. Add a sealing cap to each
skipped connector.
• Add a terminator (C.) to the trunk cable
where the circuit will end (you may
instead do this on the roof after you
stage the trunk cable).
C. Add a terminator:
1. Remove 1/2”of outer sheathing from one
end of the trunk cable—DO NOT remove
the black and red insulation on the two
conductors. Very slightly separate the two
conductors.
2. Slide the nut over the cable, with its
threads facing away.
3. Fit the cable end into the terminator and
carefully insert it such that each of the two
conductors is internally separated by the
terminator. (Ensure that the white inner
grommet stays in place.)
4. Use a screwdriver through its end to
stabilize the terminator, and then tighten
the nut only—DO NOT ROTATE THE
TERMINATOR!
5. Use cable clips to manage the terminated
end of the trunk cable such that it is not
visible and does not contact the roof.
Important! Terminators are single use
only!

13. Install cable management clips on module frames as shown.
14. Transport modules to roof.
15. Remove the microinverter (MI) serial number sticker
and place it on your array layout diagram (ALD).
16. Remove the module serial number sticker and place it
on your ALD.
17. On each module, carefully raise the MI away from the backsheet
until each side clicks into position.
18. Position the rst module of rst row (the lower row in
a two-row array) on the rails, connect the trunk cable, and align the
module on the rails with the marked array footprint.
19. Attach the end clamps to the rst module.
20. Place the second module next to the rst, raise its MI,
and connect the trunk cable. Add mid clamps.
21. Continue installing modules till the end of the row,
cutting rails as necessary for the last module.
22. Complete wire management of the rst row by tting
the trunk cable into the pre-positioned cable clips.
23. Install two row-to-row spacers per module, on the
upper edge of each of the rst row's modules.
24. Install the second (upper) row by repeating
Steps 15–21 of this QSG.
25. Install a row-to-row grounding clip between the two
rows, at one end of the array.
If you need to make a connector:
1. Slide the nut over the cut cable end.
2. Ensure that the grommet is in place inside
the cover, and then slide the cover over the
cable end.
3. Remove 1 1/16” from the cable's outer
sheathing.
4. Strip 3/8”from the red conductor and from
the black conductor.
5. Load the two terminals into the 12 GA slot of
crimp tool, ush with the slots.
6. Fit the exposed conductors into the
terminals and crimp them—DO NOT CRIMP
OVER THE INSULATION!
7. Insert the terminals into the connector body
until each clicks into place, and then tug on
them to ensure they are secure.
8. Slide the cover over the body until you feel it
click into place.
9. Tighten the nut to 62 in-lb (7 N-m).
Important! When the connector is fully
assembled, the cable outer sheathing must
extend completely through the gasket inside
the cover, and the gasket must fully cover the
sheathing in order to prevent moisture from
entering the connector.
Note: For non-standard cable
transitions use a 90° clip.
