BONDING SOLAR PANELS
Note: If completing an install in temperatures lower than room
temperature, keep the panel and roof seal tape at room temperature until
just before the installation.
Step 1: Partially remove the backing material from the mastic of the panel and
place panel according to the alignment marks.
Step 2: Pull the backing o the mastic as the panel is laid down on the surface.
e panel should be laid down by rolling the panel onto the bond surface;
this will ensure there are no air bubbles under the panel.
Step 3: Apply pressure by rubbing the panel by hand, making sure the mastic
meets the bond surface. Some trailer and box truck surfaces are not very
at, and you will need to take caution to make sure the panel is bonded
down as the panel is rolled out.
Step 4: Aer the panel mastic is bonded to the surface suciently, prepare for
the edge seal by lightly abrading the edge of the solar panel and the adjacent
metal surface with Scotch-Brite. Do NOT abrade any of the actual solar
cells.
