 Installation guidelines | 5

Important note!
Ensure you use the fastening sections as 
indicated in tables 2 to 3. 

  Ensure that the mounting holes are correctly positi-

oned as in figures 2 and 3 when fitting the module 
using mounting holes. You are also to use four corro-
sion resistant screws and nuts as per Table 1 and 
washers with a minimum outside diameter of 12 mm 
and a maximum of 14 mm.  

  When using clamps or direct attachment at the as-

sembly holes, the modules must be fastened flush to 
the substructure at at least four points under as little 
stress and tension as possible.

  The solar module must be installed under as little 

mechanical stress as possible and at a minimum 
distance of 5 mm from the next module to allow for 
any expansion in materials resulting from temperature 
fluctuations.

Important note!
The substructure and solar module must 
have the same thermal expansion coef-
ficient (e.g. aluminum). 

Important note!
Solar modules must always be installed 
in such a way that the cable inlets in the 
junction box face downwards or side-
ways.

  Ensure contact corrosion between the solar module 

and substructure is prevented when different materials 
are used.

  Fasten the solar modules in such a way that they are 

able to withstand all anticipated loads and any impacts 
caused by weather conditions. 

  Use only corrosion resistant screws to install modules. 

  Ensure the support structure does not allow rainwater 

or condensation water to reach the cable screw con-
nections in the junction box.  

Warning!
The solar module must not stand in  
condensation or stagnant water.

table 1: permissible fastening screws for direct installation

 

The supporting structure or substructure must be 
adequately dimensioned based on a structural analy-
sis and adapted to the environmental conditions 
locally to ensure that the maximum permissible de-
flection or deformation on the long side of the mod-
ule under a load of max. 4 mm is not exceeded.  For 
the short side, there is a max. value of 2 mm. You also 
need to ensure that the module does not distort or 
warp more than 10 mm across its diagonal line.  Only 
one of the named deformations is permissible in this.

Figure 1: Permissible layout of the fastening points and installation 
profiles 

  The solar module can be attached with clamps, lay-in 

systems or, alternatively, directly to the assembly 
holes. If clamp systems are used, the clamp contact 
surface must be at least 400 mm² for each fastening 
point.  Furthermore, under all conditions, the surface 
area must be min. 400 mm² for each fastening point.
