7.5 Connecting the module rows together

 

In order to connect the modules to each other, a connector and two M8 screw sets are required. The distance 

between the rows can be adjusted using the holes in the bottom rail. 

 

 

Figure 12: Attaching the connector 

 

 

The bottom rail of the modules in the corner of the roof (red area in  

Figure 13) should all be connected to connectors. In the edge area (yellow area in  

Figure 

13

), one bottom rail for each module should be installed. In the remaining roof area, connecting every fourth 

bottom rail is sufficient.
