U.S. Sunlight 9910TRP Solar Panel - Manual (Page 2)

Surface mounting on composition roofs:
Step 1.
Loosen and remove screw A (both sides) to allow the panel to swing away from the base.
Set the screws aside. (fig. 3)
Step 2.
Before mounting, make sure to pull the wire back through the hole in the center of the base so the base can lay flat on the roof surface
when installed. (fig. 4)
Step 3.
Mount the base using four 3” galvanized screws making sure to seal the screw holes with a roof tile adhesive as shown. Tilt the panel
away from the base while installing the screws. If the panel is to remain flat against the base when installed it is recommended that
you allow the roof tile adhesive to completely dry before contacting with the panel. (fig. 5 & 6)

Surface mounting for S-Tile, Flat Tile or Metal roofs
Step 1.
Determine the location of the contact points by positioning the panel in the desired area. For S-Tile roofs, find a position with as much
surface area coming in contact with the bottom of the panel as possible. The panel must be mounted on at least 2 rows of tile as
shown. (fig. 7 & 8)
Step 2.
Apply enough roof tile adhesive to the underside of the base to firmly secure the panel to the surface. Both surfaces should be dry
and free of any dirt or solvents. (fig. 9)
Step 3.
The panel can be tilted into two positions with the adjustment arm, chose the best angle and reinstall the adjusting screws (screw A). (fig. 10)

Selecting the best location
for the additional panel
We’ve designed the add-a-panel to allow you the flexibility to place it where you can get the best exposure to the sun during the
course of the day. You can place it on the opposite side of the roof or an exterior wall that gets the sun exposure in the morning or
afternoon. Survey your home to determine the best location for the extra panel. If the first panel gets morning sun but no afternoon
sun, install the second panel where it will get exposed more to the afternoon sun and vice-versa. This will keep the fan running for
much longer periods during the day.
