Figure 2.3 Mounting Options
Failure to follow proper installation practices for any of the mounting options could result in death, personal injury and/ or property damage.
The vertical axis of the turbine must be level when installed. Turbines installed with their vertical axis off-level will see significant impact on performance.
IMPORTANT: The ROOFBOX™ QUADPOD™ system is designed for pitched or flat roof tops. As roof construction and roof lines vary, pole mounted installations are recommended for residential environments for optimal cost, flexibility and performance.
