Quick Mount PV ™ is an all-in-one waterproof flashing and mount to anchor photovoltaic
racking systems, solar thermal panels, air conditioning units, satellite dishes, or anything
you may need to secure to a new or existing roof. It is made in the USA of all aluminum
and includes stainless steel hardware. It works with all standard racks, installs
seamlessly and saves labor by not needing to cut away any roofing, will out live
galvanized 2 to 1, and is a better low-profile mount.

QUICK MOUNT PV ICC-ES FILE # 08-09-16
1483 67th Street
Emeryville, CA 94608
Subject: Quick Mount PV Load Testing
ICC-ES AC13 & ASTM D 1761
Dear Mr. Wentworth:
As requested, Applied Materials & Engineering, Inc. (AME) has completed load-testing Quick Mount
PV system anchors for shear and tensile strength. The purpose of our testing was to evaluate the tensile
and shear load capacity of the Quick Mount PV system in a high density (Douglas Fir) and a low density
wood (Cedar).
SAMPLE DESCRIPTION
Twelve (12) 12"x12" samples were delivered to our laboratory on 10-16-08; six each for Douglas Fir
and Cedar. A copy of the installation instructions is provided in Appendix A. Typical sample photo is
provided in Appendix B.
PROCEDURES & RESULTS
Since an acceptance criterion (AC) has not been developed for this product, the samples were tested
under the direction of Mr. Yamil Moya, P.E. with ICC-ES, and in general accordance with applicable
procedures outlined in ASTM D 1761 and AC13.
a. Tensile Strength
Three samples each of the two types of wood were tested for tensile strength on October 24 & 27, 2008
using a United Universal testing machine. Samples were rigidly attached to the testing machine and a
tensile load was applied to the 5/16"x6" hanger bolt at a displacement rate 0.1 inches per minute without
shock until failure. Detailed results are provided in Table I. Based on these results, the average tensile
strength of the hanger bolt in Douglas Fir and Cedar wood species were determined to be 3934 lbs and
2214 lbs, respectively.

Compatible Racking Makes/Models for Mounting
Enphase Microinverters
Purpose
This document is not intended to be an exclusive list of racking manufacturers. It lists
products that have been verified either through field installations or the evaluation of
actual racking samples in the Enphase mechanical lab. Section 1 lists products that work
without modification, using the racking manufacturer’s standard hardware. Section 2
includes products that are known to work after modification or by adding a custom
adapter. Section 3 lists manufacturers that are shipping the Enphase Microinverter as
part of a factory assembled proprietary racking/module solution.
Grounding Options
The ground clamp provided on the mounting flange of the Enphase Microinverter accepts
#10 through #6 AWG grounding electrode conductors. As an alternative to installing a
continuous grounding electrode conductor connected to each Microinverter chassis, a
grounding washer may be used to ground the Microinverter to grounded racking.
CSA recently completed the evaluation and approval of the Wiley Electronics “WEEB”
grounding washers for use with the Enphase Microinverter. Where the compatible
racking models have listed grounding washers available, the Wiley Electronics part
numbers have been included in the tables below.
