HOW MANY SOLAR SPACERS DO I NEED?
It depends on your average row length. The recommended is 5-20 units per crew.
HOW TO USE
- Choose the Solar Tools Spacer needed based on the racking you are using.
- Install the first panel on your bottom row.
- Insert a Solar Spacer on the inside top and bottom edge of the panel to create the required gap at both ends. (make sure the spacer is flush)
- Lay your next panel, tighten mid-clamp, and repeat step 2 until your first row is complete.
- For each row above, simply insert a spacer on the top corner of each panel in the row below and slide your panel into place.
- Remove spacers as you move along by using the built-in handle.
