4 Installation guide

4.1 SAFETY OPERATION GUIDE

1. The manual must be read and understood before installation. Workers must comply with all of these safety

instructions to minimize the risk of danger, property damage and personal injury.

2. All installations must be performed by qualified personnel in compliance with all applicable codes including O.B.C

2012 and N.B.C 2010.

3. Always check with local building and safety departments for specific codes and permits.

4. Make sure that the building structure can support the racking system under all the applicable design loads

including but not limited to snow, rain, wind and seismic loads per these codes.

5. All applicable OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) guidelines must be followed to ensure proper safety.

6. Always use the appropriate tools for the correct applications. Never modify or change an existing tool to meet a

specific need. The list of specific tools needed for installation has been included in the manual.

7. If the fall height is greater than 10’ (3m), persons working on the roof must be provided with anti-fall protection.

Debris netting or similar equipment is required to protect persons on the ground from falling objects.

8. The environment needs to be free of roofing obstructions, rain, snow, ice, high winds or any other elements that

may cause potential harm or injury to an installer.

9. Please keep in mind that as long as the modules are exposed to light, for safety of installation personnel, open all

disconnect switches, circuit breakers, and keep wire ends insulated during installation, also keep the wire ends

insulated during assembly.

10. Photovoltaic modules produce electricity when sunlight or other sources illuminate the front face. The voltage

from a single module is not considered a shock hazard. When modules are connected in series, voltages are

additive. When modules are connected in parallel, current is additive. Consequently, a multi-module system can

produce high voltages and current which constitute an increased hazard and could cause serious injury or death.

11. The installer should visit the site and become familiarized with all the characteristics affecting new and existing

construction. The contractor shall check all dimensions on working drawings and report any discrepancies to the

engineer prior to proceeding with the work. Additionally, any changes, alterations, or revisions must be reported

to the engineer before proceeding with the work.

4.3 INSTALLATION (SEQUENCE BASED ON INSTALLATION ORDER)

Racking System Installation Manual, July 12, 2021

4.3.1 STEP-1：

The Pion Power PVSolver Adjustable Ground Mount Solar Racking System can be installed on either helical pile

foundations or cast/ballasted concrete foundations. This installation manual covers only the most basic preparation

steps for helical pile and ballasted concrete foundations.

For helical pile foundations, ensure that the helical piles have been installed as per the layout diagram. Drive piles as

accurately as is practical, then adjust to +/- ¼” of given layout. Piles need to be perpendicular to the ground. Top of

piles to be close to level approx. 20” above highest grade. The distance between solar units will vary depending on

the type of solar modules used.

For ballasted concrete foundations, use concrete anchors to connect the T-Beam Footings to the bottom of the

concrete ballasts. Mark the placement locations as per the helical pile layout diagram. Ensure the pile of the T-beam

footing sits right above the marking points.

4.3.2 STEP-2：

Start building the table which is at the highest ground, ensure all Bottom Beams of the other tables are at a similar

elevation to avoid shading. Attach the Bottom Beams to the helical piles or piles of the T Beam Footing using U-

bolts and Saddles. A spirit level tool may be helpful when installing the beams. You may use the Rail or a long and

straight object to horizontally level multiple the Bottom Beams.

The two beams should be installed on the outside of the piles, with the flat sides facing toward each other. Ensure

that the angled holes are oriented as in the picture below. Once the beams have been accurately positioned,

tighten the U-bolts using M12 Hex Bolt Sets. Leave 8” of clear space under the Bottom Beam to prevent frost heave

from pushing up on the beams.

Ensure these holes angles up and

toward each other

Ensure the two beams are

installed on the outside of the

piles and leveled at the same

elevation

4.3.3 STEP-3：

Attach the Posts to the Bottom Beams using the M16 Helix Bolt Sets as shown. Ensuring the flat sides of the Posts

go on the flat sides of the Bottom Beams. Do not tighten the bolts until the Post Supports (next step) have been

installed with all their bolts loosely installed.

4.3.4 STEP-4：

Install the left and right Supports as shown using the M12 Helix Bolts Sets. Use a spirit level tool to ensure the Posts

are vertical then tighten all bolts on the Posts and Supports.

4.3.5 STEP-5：

Attach the Angle Pieces to the Main Beams forming two pivot plates using M16 Hex Bolt Sets. Fix the pivot plates to the Posts using

the Stiffeners and M30 Hex Bolt Sets. The plates need to be able to pivot easily around the top bolt, so do not over-tighten the top

bolts. Move the pivot plates to the “Summer Position” by rotating the plate until the top flange is at 20-degree angle then tighten

the bottom bolt.

4.3.6 STEP-6：

Each rail consists of two outer pieces and one inner piece. Slide rails together to where holes match up, then tighten all bolts,

washers, and nuts.
