REV DATE: 07/16/2020VERSION: 2.0
The ClickFit mounting system consists of patented adjustable tile hooks and L feet, rails,
and the installation materials required for the mounting of photovoltaic modules on
composition shingle or tile roofs. For simplicity, tile hooks and L feet will be referred to as
“attachments”.
3.1 Attaching to the Roof
The attachments are fastened to the rafters. Attachments are height-adjustable to level
the system on uneven roof surfaces.
3.2 Attaching the Rail
The rail assembles to the attachments with a click-connector, or Clicker. The rail simply
clicks into place without the use of any tools.
3.3 Attaching the modules
The modules are attached to the rails by means of mid clamps and end clamps.
Installer must review the module manufacturer’s installation manual to conrm
compliance to the warranty terms and conditions.

Checklist of tools and accessories
Note: *Proper PPE shall be worn at all times*
Tape measure
Roof crayon or chalk (a chalk line can be helpful as well)
Cordless drill with torque adjustment and the following bits:
• 1/2” Hex socket
• 1/4” diameter drill bit. (Drilling length no less than lag bolt depth)
Brush for clearing debris from roof surface. Hint: Leaf blowers
work well to remove any leftover moisture prior to installation.
Torque wrench capable of 0-150 in-lbs
REQUIRED TOOLS

REV DATE: 07/16/2020VERSION: 2.0
• Refer to span tables, local jurisdiction, or engineer of record specications when determining setbacks
from roof edges, attachment spans, etc.
• Mark the perimeter and corners of the array on the roof surface.
*Add 3/4” to account for the gap between modules in each direction*
• Draw or snap chalk lines where the rails will be installed,(refer to module manufacturer specs to
determine allowable mounting locations).
• Locate rafters within the area of the array. It may be necessary to shift the array East or West on the roof
in order to fall within the rail cantilever specs (l/3) of span).
• Stagger rafters every row if required by the local jurisdiction, engineer of record, or company policy.

Pre-installing rail splices
1. Determine the number of rails required per row of modules.
2. Insert a rail splice into one rail. *Do not push it past the center bump.*
3. Slide the next rail onto the rail splice until the two rail ends meet.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the desired length is achieved. *This is usually easiest to do from the
ground.*

Installation of flashing and L feet
• ClickFit for comp shingle roofs uses EcoFasten Solar’s GFl watertight ashing system
• Other roof types may use dierent EcoFasten Solar attachments, see www.EcoFastenSolar.com for more
information.
Installation Steps:
1. Locate rafter lines from section 5.2.
2. Drill l/4” pilot holes at all attachment points and back ll using roof-compatible sealant.
3. Separate shingles where ashing is to be installed. Insert the ashing so the top portion is under the
next row of shingles North. Ensure the ashing is pushed to the third-course of shingle to prevent water
inltration through the vertical joints between shingles.
4. Align GFl ashing hole with pilot hole. Insert the lag bolt with pre-installed bonded washer through the L
foot and EPDM grommet. Tighten the lag bolt until a ring of EPDM is visible around the circumference of
the bonded washer.
Tighten the lag until fully seated. The EPDM Ring visual indicator is the most eective way to ensure a watertight seal.
*Note the orientation of the L foot and Clicker. The two
Clicker “arms” should be facing downslope*
