I made a few alignment blocks that allow a 1" circle on the lag bolt centers to
allow for the critical alignment of trays. However they cost $7 each to be
made in a CNC shop. If there were a call for these it could be extruded. and
maybe $2 each. But I agree the SiE is a solid module

Sunmodo in Vancouver WA makes a nice flashing with a 'C' foot that gives room
for trusses that aren't exactly 4' on center. Here's my salesman's email if
you want to see this foot, it isn't on the website at the moment.

I agree with bclark. You have to snap lines and measure corner to corner to
get yourself as close as possible to perfect square so you give yourself the
best chance in getting the modules to slide up easily. Advice: measure
between "trays" or "slide channel" before bringing each module to the roof.
Ditto bclark to start with first column and work to next column.
East/West third party rails are often the solution to give a little play in the
installation.
That being said you must have your rubber mallet available for these
installations.
Good Luck, Silicon Energy is a great, robust product and worth any difficulties
that may come with the installation.
