How to install roof panels.

Screw each stanchion through the roof and into a roof rafter. If you feel the need for sealants lay a bead of 100 silicone or adhesive silicone before laying the sheet down and make sure the bead is towards the edge of the bottom sheet. Also be sure the stanchion flashing fits beneath the roof shingles to prevent leaks. Step 3 drill the holes now you can take out your drill and drill bit and start drilling the needed holes.

Make sure the panel is square to the eave of the roof so that all of panels installed afterwards are straight. You may need to cut panels to fit angles using a circular saw with a metal saw blade. You will want to make sure that the curve on the panels is flush over the moldings you have just secured into place with your galvanized screws. Now we can install our roof panels.

Take your first panel and set it on the roof in the area that you will be placing them. On the roof lay out the locations of the stanchions that will support the solar panels. Install the panel so that the short lip overlaps the large lip. Metal roofing is also available in the form of shingles.

Continue installing the metal panels making sure that the edges overlap at least 1 in 2 5 cm or as required with the adjacent panel. Beginning at the outside edge of your roof place each panel directly onto the purlins that are attached to the roof trusses. The silicone will spread and adhere creating a seal. Along the fastening strip of the sl16 always use the pancake head fastener.

Continue adding panels until the roof is covered. Do this until the entire roof is covered.
