Charging current can be reduced if solar cells are covered. Ensure edge tape does
not cover any of the cells on the solar panel.
Drilling holes and inserting mechanical fasteners in the roof of vehicle body can result in
a damaged roof. To prevent damage, do not puncture the roof. Fasten solar panels with
mechanical fasteners only to the outboard roof rail and rear frame of the vehicle body.
NOTE: Some installers may require mechanical fasteners to secure solar panels to roof
of truck/trailer body. Use the 1/4" [6.35 mm] diameter through-holes, near the
edges of the solar panel, to secure solar panel with mechanical fasteners. Install
mechanical fasteners before taping the edges of the solar panel.
4. Apply edge tape (Kit item) along edges of solar panel,
a minimum of 2 inches from outer edges of the cells
(FIG. 7-1).
