Storage Considerations
PanelClaw recommends installing the racking components shortly
after delivery to the project site. If clawFR components are not
deployed immediately, they should be stored in a well-ventilated,
dry location. Otherwise, moisture can form between the packed
components which may cause staining and/or white rust.
Significant white rust formation may decrease the coating service
life and, in extreme cases, the component performance.
If storage onsite is unavoidable, remove the plastic and/or
carboard wrapping from the exterior of the packaging and cover
with canvas or place components under an open sided tent. Note
the use of a plastic cover does more harm than good as it prevents
the product from breathing and causes condensation. Storing parts
in any other manner is at the
customer’s
own
risk. PanelClaw is not
liable for claims related to improper storage and any such claims
are not covered by the product warranty.

Operations & Maintenance
See O&M Manual, available upon request, for initial inspection
recommendations including steps that can be performed only
during construction.
Sub Array Dimensions
Each PV system is unique and is frequently made up of multiple
sub arrays. The Racking Construction Set, which must be onsite at
all times during construction, details sub array dimensions and
location on the roof. Review the Racking Construction Set in its
entirety to prevent unnecessary rework during site construction.
The furthest extent of the racking components or modules of
adjacent sub arrays, whichever defines the outermost array
boundaries, must be separated by
at least
the minimum
dimensions documented in the Racking Construction Set. Refer to
the
general notes
and the
Minimum Clearance Requirements
table
, if present, within the Racking Construction Set.
