APPLICATION:
The RoofTrac®mounting system consists of support rails and
top-down clamping hardware which is integrated with either
a TileTrac®or FastJack®attachment device. The RoofTrac®
mounting system can be utilized on virtually all standard
construction residential roof tops, to install UL1703 approved
framed solar modules.
WARNING:
All Professional Solar Products (ProSolar®) are engineered
and tested to withstand stated specifications (as stated on
published specification sheets) when installed properly.
Failure to install properly may decrease the performance of
installation.
SAFETY:
All regional safety requirements should be followed
when installing Professional Solar Products. All tools and
equipment located on the roof should be secured to avoid
falling object hazards. All equipment/tools should be properly
maintained and inspected prior to use. Any exposed studs
should be protectively capped to avoid injury. This racking
system may be used to ground and/or mount a PV module
complying with UL 1703 only when the specific module
frame has been evaluated for grounding and/or mounting
compliance with the included instructions. This installation
manual is intended for use by professional installers with a
working knowledge of construction principles.

For flat tile, slide the upper
carriage near the middle of the tile.*
Step 7: Install subflashing and seal as
needed if double flash is desired.
Step 9: Replace the tile by lining
up the snap lines and mark the drill
location accordingly.
Step 12: Unbind nuts and remove from

Step 13: Fasten rail with lower and upper
3/8" nuts/washers to 15 ft-lb as shown.
Step 6: Fasten lag screw until seated.
Do not overtighten. The sealant should
flow outward sealing any holes.
Tip:
Use a cordless impact wrench
Step 11: Insert threaded stud
through tile and hand-tighten to engage
with base. Bind two 3/8” nuts (included)
using 9/16” wrenches and tighten. and
tighten to 15 ft-lbs. Tip: Pre-assemble
studs and nuts before roofwork
Tip:
Bind (2) 3/8" nuts to top
of stud prior to roof work

After the attachment has been installed (refer
to the attached installation guide for detail),
lay the support rail upside down) next to the
attachments. Mark the channel adjacent to
the attachment devices. Align and mark the
intersecting “V” groove on the rail and drill
a 1/2” locking rail hole through the rail. After
drilling the hole in the support rail, place the
rail over the attachment feet and fasten.
Maximum cantilever approximately 20” for
any rail height.
1. Mark rails with Sharpie®
2. Drill 1/2” holes with #10 Irwin Unibit®

For convenience, it is adviseable to pre-assemble the end clamp bolt, lock washer, and clamp into the sliding
insert prior to bringing them up to the roof.
After the support rails have been fastened, you are ready to
install the solar modules. There are two sets of clamps: the
outside clamps (end clamp) (Fig. 1), and the inter-module
clamps (mid clamp) shown (Fig. 2) that install between the
modules.
NOTE: Clamping hardware is not engineered or intended for
use on support rail other than the ProSolar®RoofTrac®rail.
