(12.5~17.0 ft-lbs) for M8 (5/16”) coarse thread bolts,

· In areas with heavy wind loads, additional mounting
points should be used. The system designer and
the installer are responsible for calculating the load
and ensuring that the support structure meets the
requirements.
MOUNTING METHOD: BOLTING
· Modules should be bolted at the following hole locations
depending on the configuration and load:

7.0 MAINTENANCE
·
Do not make modifications to the PV components (diode,
junction box, plug connectors).
·
Regular maintenance is required to keep modules clear
of snow, bird droppings, seeds, pollen, leaves, branches,
dirt spots, and dust.
· Modules with sufficient tilt (at least 15°), generally do not
require cleaning (rain will have a self-cleaning effect). If
the module has become soiled, wash with water and a
non-abrasive cleaning implement (sponge) during the
cool part of the day. Do not scrape or rub dry dirt away,
as this may cause micro scratches.
· Snow should be removed using a soft brush.
· Periodically inspect the system to check the integrity of
all wiring and supports.
· To protect against electric shock or injury, electrical or
mechanical inspections and maintenance should be
performed by qualified personnel only.
· Please refer to Annex D (Module Cleaning Guide) for
more information on module cleaning.
