1. Confirm the locations of each standard slider assembly.Follow the same rules for installation as the
slider foot.The flashings located on the bottom rail (close to the eave), should be aligned with the chalk
lines created in the roof layout. Flashings used to support the center rails, should be centered on the rail
line. The flashings located at the top rail (close to the ridge), should have minimal exposure beyond the rail.
2. Dry fit the flashing in the location marked for installation. Use a utility knife to cut the surrounding
shingles to assure a flush and water resistant fit. Install flashing over a layer of shingles to insure water
resistance.
The arrow on the flashing should point to the eave side. Install flashing over a layer of shingles to insure
water resistance.
3. Invert the flashing, peel off the protective backing paper and apply a bead of roofing silicone along the
top and sides in the flange area. Leave the bottom flange clear for water drainage. Make sure that the
shingles are at room temperature, ~68°F. When shingles are cold, they become brittle and are difficult to
work with. Use a putty knife to lift the shingles and slide in the flashing.
4. Apply a bead of silicone on the top and sides of the flange that contact the surrounding shingles. Press
the area to create tight seal.
5. Peel off the backing paper from the standard slider.Place the standard slider assembly on the flashing
and secure with the supplied flashing screws 110 mm.
6.4 Mechanical Installation
ChinaLight Solar modules can be mounted using the following methods:
(
Note: All installation methods herein are only for reference, and ChinaLight solar will not provide related
BOS components, the system installer or trained professional personnel must be responsible for the PV
system’s design, installation, and mechanical load calculation and security of the system.
)
− Using corrosion-proof screws (M6) in the existing installing holes in the module frame.
− Using suitable module clamps on the long side of the module frame to mount the modules (“portrait
orientation”)
− Using suitable module clamps on the short side of the module frame to mount the modules (“landscape
orientation”)
