Photovoltaic module transfer bracket installation

What is a photovoltaic mounting system?

Photovoltaic mounting systems (also called solar module racking) are used to fix solar panels on surfaces like roofs, building facades, or the ground. [ 1 ] These mounting systems generally enable retrofitting of solar panels on roofs or as part of the structure of the building (called BIPV). [ 2 ]

How do I install a solar PV system?

Install a mounting system for solar thermal or solar photovoltaic panels. Consider the roof type (material and slope), weatherproofing, installation convenience, and wind and snow loadings. Choose an appropriate racking and mounting system for the type of PV module, and install the system along with needed flashing and seals.

Why should you install a solar panel bracket?

This racking system may be used to ground and/or mount a PV module complying with UL 1703 only when the specic module has been evaluated for grounding and/or mounting in compliance with the included instructions. The system is a non-separately derived system.

How do I install a PV module?

Choose an appropriate racking and mounting system for the type of PV module, and install the system along with needed flashing and seals. See the Compliance Tab for related codes and standards requirements, and criteria to meet national programs such as DOE’s Zero Energy Ready Home program, ENERGY STAR Single-Family New Homes, and Indoor airPLUS.

Can a photovoltaic system be installed on a ul2703 certified roof?

A photovoltaic system composed of UL1703 certified modules mounted on a UL2703 certified mounting system should be evaluated in combination with roof coverings in accordance with UL1703 standard, with respect to meeting the same fire classification as the roof assembly.
