Certification Details snapnrack.com
SnapNrack Series 100 system has been evaluated by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and Listed to UL Standard
2703 for Grounding/Bonding, Fire Classification and Mechanical Loading.
Grounding/Bonding
The Series 100 system has been designed in compliance with UL Standard 2703 Section 9.1 Exception, which permits
accessible components that are not part of the fault current ground path to not be electrically bonded to the
mounting system. The UL Listing covers bonding for a load rating up to 45 psf. For more details on the integrated
grounding functionality see the Grounding Specifications section.
This racking system may be used to ground and/or mount a PV module complying with UL 1703 only when the
specific module has been evaluated for grounding and/or mounting in compliance with the included instructions. See
the Grounding Specifications for the list of modules tested with the Series 100 system for integrated grounding.
Ground Lug has been evaluated to both UL 467 and UL 2703 Listing requirements.
Series 100 has been listed with the following Enphase microinverter models for grounding/bonding: M215, M250 and
C250. The Enphase microinverters are certified to be mounted to SnapNrack rail with the MLPE Attachment or to
the module frame with the Enphase Frame Mount. When installing the Enphase microinverters per the specifications
in the MLPE Installation section of this manual, the total roof-mounted PV system is bonded (modules, racking and
microinverters) and grounded through the Enphase ground circuit when the Enphase units are properly grounded
through to the service entrance. Therefore, no ground lugs or equipment grounding conductor (EGC) are required on
the SnapNrack systems.
Series 100 has been Listed with the following SolarEdge optimizer models for grounding/bonding: P300 and
P350. The SolarEdge optimizers are certified to be mounted to SnapNrack rail with the MLPE Attachment or to the
module frame with the SolarEdge Power Optimizer Frame-Mounted Module Add-On. When installing the SolarEdge
optimizers per the specifications in the MLPE Installation section of this manual, the total roof-mounted PV system
is bonded to the optimizer backing plate (modules, racking and optimizers) and grounded through the ground lugs
installed on the SnapNrack rail. Therefore, it is not necessary to run an EGC to each SolarEdge optimizer.
The mounting system Bonding Listing is only valid when installed with a Non-Separately Derived PV system. The PV
system is required to have a direct electrical connection to another source, such as connecting to the grid via a grid
interactive inverter.
SnapNrack recommends that bare copper never come into contact with aluminum.
Mechanical Loading
The Series 100 system is Listed for mechanical loading for different load ratings depending on the mounting
configuration and PV module installed. For more details on the mechanical loading details see the Mechanical
Loading Specifications section.
SnapNrack engineered systems should only be used with SnapNrack components and hardware. Any application
outside of those specified in this Installation Manual and the Structural Engineering Report may void the warranty
and structural certification could become invalid.
The following components have only been evaluated for mechanical loading: Comp L Foot (92 Deg) with L Foot
Base, All Purpose L Foot (90 Deg) with L Foot Base, Universal Tile Hook, Flat Tile Hook, 10in Standoff with 1-Hole
Base*, 10in Standoff with 4-Hole Base*
*All standoff lengths are approved when installed on these bases.
If the module clamps have been engaged and need to be loosened and reengaged, SnapNrack recommends moving
the module frame 3mm to engage the bonding pin in a new location if required by the AHJ.
The UL Listing covers mechanical load ratings for the various span lengths, module orientations and positive,
negative, and side load ratings. These values can be found in the Mechanical Loading Specifications.
SnapNrack recommends a periodic re-inspection of the completed installation for loose components, loose fasteners,
and any corrosion, such that if found, the affected components are to be immediately replaced.

Certification Details snapnrack.com
Fire
The Series 100 system has been evaluated for a Class A System Fire Classification for a Steep-Sloped Roof
using Type 1 and Type 2 modules. In order to maintain the System Classification, modules must be mounted in
the portrait orientation and clamped to the mounting rails between 0 and 12 inches from the top and bottom
edges of the module.
The Series 100 System has been evaluated for a Class A System Fire Classification for a Low-Sloped Roof
using Type 1 and Type 2 modules. In order to maintain the System Classification, modules are clamped to the
mounting rails between 0 and 16.3 inches from the top and bottom edges of the module.
Because the system was tested at 5 inches above the test roof fixture Series 100 can be installed without any
height restrictions and will maintain the Class A System Fire Classification. See Rail Installation Section for
potential module-specific height restrictions due to module temperature.

Design Guidance
1) Layout the modules in the available roof area. Adjacent modules in the same row are spaced 1/2” apart. Adjustable End
Clamps require an additional 1.5” of rail extending past module frame, while Universal End Clamps require no extra rail. When
installing multiple rows of modules, a minimum spacing gap of 1/8” should be used between rows.
2) Draw the roof framing member location on the layout to identify where roof attachments can be installed.
3) Determine site conditions for calculating the engineering values, confirm site conditions and code versions comply with local
AHJ requirements.
4) Reference site conditions and system specifications in Series 100 Structural Engineering Report to determine maximum
attachment spacing and cantilever values.
5) Draw roof attachment locations on layout based on maximum attachment spacing and cantilever values.
6) Confirm design complies with UL 2703 Listing for Mechanical Loading. For more details on the mechanical loading details
see the Mechanical Loading Specifications section.
7) To simplify the design process and automatically generate a bill of materials for the mounting system, use the Series 100
Configuration Tool located on the SnapNrack website. Always refer to Approved Module Lists in Installation Manuals to ensure
installation complies with UL 2703 Listing.
8) Mark distance from array edge to identifiable roof feature in x and y axes.
9) Insert SnapNrack installation details in to design set specific to the project requirements.

Design Note:
Series 100 allows for multiple mounting configurations. Modules can be mounted in portrait (long side of module perpendicular to ridge)
or landscape (long side of module parallel to ridge) orientations. In addition, modules can also be short side-mounted (module clamps on
short side) or long side-mounted (module clamps on long side). Long-side mounting is recommended for maximum material efficiency.
Most residential structures utilize roof framing members that run in-slope with the roof, so a portrait orientation with long-side mounting
is typically the most efficient use of materials.

Safety Guidance
ò Always wear appropriate OSHA approved safety equipment when at active construction site
ò Appropriate fall protection or prevention gear should be used. Always use extreme caution when near the edge of a roof
ò Use appropriate ladder safety equipment when accessing the roof from ground level
ò Safety equipment should be checked periodically for wear and quality issues
ò Always wear proper eye protection
9
System Layout
1) Transfer the array layout to the roof using a roof marking crayon to mark the inside and outside corners of the array.
2) Locate the estimated roof framing member positions and mark them in the array area with a roof marking crayon.
3) Transfer rail locations using a chalk line.
4) Mark roof attachment locations on the roof, noting that attachments will be located at intersections of rails and roof framing
members. Layout rails such that module frames do not overhang mounting rails more than specified by module manufacturer,
more than 30% of total module length, or more than required by the Class A Fire Certification (see Certification Details section).
Layout Note:
Ensure final roof attachment locations do not exceed the maximum attachment spacing and cantilever specified in the design.

SnapNrack recommends testing underlayment surfaces for adhesion. If adhesion is found to be marginal, then a primer is recommended to
ensure optimal adhesion.
See instructions below:
1) Ensure surface is dry, clean, and free of anything that may prevent adhesion
2) Shake can of adhesive before use
3) Apply a uniform coat of adhesive to surface being treated
4) Allow surface to dry for 2 minutes (no more than 10 minutes) before applying flashing
5) Never cover wet adhesive
SnapNrack recommends using Protecto Wrap Protecto Seal 45 waterproofing membrane, or equivalent, as the flexible flashing and lap
