1. Attach the mounts to the panel. It is important to avoid the use of different kinds of metals when
fastening to the solar collectors. When different kinds of metals are used, the metal that is more
stable will corrode the metal that is less stable. Use stainless steel fasteners that are especially
resistant to corrosion, or use materials that are all made of the same material. Rubber from an inner
tube or roofing material could insulate one material from another, but it is not a real good detail, and
it won’t help at all in a moisture situation. Better to avoid the problem in the first place.
2. Mounting kits supplied by the Radiantec Company will be compatible with the solar collectors.
3. Attach the mounts so that the solar panels are held about 1”off the roof in order to prevent
moisture from damaging the roofing materials.
