6.6 Mounting 1st  solar panel on the rails 

Slide the first solar panel to the side of the mounting rail. Then slide the end clamp onto the mounting rail. Choose the right 

cavity so the end clamp precisely fits to the solar panel. Let approximately 1 cm of rail protrude visibly besides the end 

clamp. Screw the end clamp tight with the mounting screw. The torque of the screw connections is 4.5N/m.

Option: Slide the black end caps in the side of the mounting rails and place the colour caps over the mounting screws.
