3.0 DESCRIPTION
3.1 Tesla Solarglass Roof System: Building -integrated
photovoltaic (BIPV) roof covering system consisting of
photovoltaic shingles and non -energy producing shingles.
3.2 Models SR60T-1, SR72T-1 and SR72T-2: Energy
producing BIPV roof shingle that serves as a roofing shingle
and solar panel. Major components include a fiberglass
substrate, film layers, silicon solar cells, textured and
tempered superstrate cover glass, wiring, and various
plastic and stainless -steel mounting components. Each
module/shingle is 1140 mm x 430 mm x 5 mm thick. The
total height including bottom mounting items is 34.5 mm.
Model SR60T-1, SR72T-1 and SR72T-2 BIPV shingles are
listed with UL LLC as complying with ANSI/UL 61730-1 and
61730-2, (Supersedes standard: Flat -Plate Photovoltaic
Modules and Panels UL 1703), as required in IBC Section

3.3 Models SRNFT 1, SRNFT 1/6, SRNFT 1/3, SRNFT 1/2,
SRNFT 2/3, and SRNFT 5/6: Tesla Solarglass roofing
shingles are glass roof shingles used in non -energy
producing areas of the roof. These shingles are tempered
and textured glass with black bottom coating to provide
similar appearance and overall thickness to the laminated
Tesla Solarglass PB modules. These shingles include plastic
and stainless -steel mounting components. Dimensions of
the full glass tile is 1140 mm x 398 mm x 5 mm. In addition
to full length 1140 mm tiles, these tiles are available in 1/6,
1/3, 1/2, 2/3 and 5/6 lengths to accommodate roof edges
and obstructions. The total height of the glass shingle
including bottom mounting items is 34.5 mm.

5.0 INSTALLATION
5.1 General:
The Tesla Solarglass Roof roof covering system must be
installed in accordance with the manufacturer's published
installation instructions, the applicable Code, and this
Research Report. A copy of the manufacturer's instructions
must be available on the jobsite during installation.
ETA
Intertek
The roof covering system must be protected at edges and
penetrations at eave, rake and other flashing conditions
per methods described in the Tesla installation
instructions.
5.2 Application:
The Tesla Solarglass Roof system is for steep slope roof
applications at a minimum roof slope of 2:12, installed
over minimum 15/32-inch-thick plywood or minimum
7/16-inch-thick OSB complying with the applicable
requirements of the code.
For Class A fire classification, the deck must be covered
with one of the following:
a. two layers of Firestone Clad -Gard SA-FR underlayment,
b. one layer of FT Synthetics Cobalt FR Self -Adhered
(CCRR-0365),
c. one Layer of Tesla Solar Roof Self -Adhered Roofing
Underlayment Model SR-SAUL-1 (CCRR-0386).
For Class C fire classification, the deck must be covered
with one Layer of Tesla Solar Roof Self -Adhered Roofing
Underlayment Model SR-SAUL-2 (CCRR-0386).
Underlayment must be installed in accordance with IBC
Section 1507.1.1 or IRC Section R905.1.1.
The shingles are attached by snap engagement to plastic
mounting components that are mechanically fastened to
prepared roofing. The mounting components are fastened
to the roof deck with two corrosion -resistant, ring shank
roofing nails complying with ASTM F1667, with 3/8-inch
heads and 11-gauge (0.120 inch) shanks. Fastener length
shall be sufficient to achieve 3/4 inch of embedment into
the sheathing, or 3/16 inch penetration through the
sheathing, whichever is less.
The Solarglass Roof roof covering system is permitted for
use in areas with wind speeds designated for ASTM D3161,
Class F, in accordance with IBC Table 1504.1.1 and IRC
Table R904.2.4.1.
