Mounting Methods
General Information
•
Select the appropriate orientation to maxi-
mize sunlight exposure.
•
In order to prevent water from entering the
junction box, which could present a safety
hazard, module should not be mounted
such that the front/top glass faces down-
ward.
•
Clearance between the solar module
frames and structures such as roofs or
ground is required to prevent wiring da-
mage and to allow air to circulate behind
the solar module. The recommended
standoff height is a minimum of 100 mm.
•
When installed on a roof, the solar module
must be mounted over a fire-resistant roof
covering rated for the application. The fire
resistance of the solar module from
LG Electronics is Class C after ANSI/
UL790.
•
The solar module is only IEC listed for use
when its factory frame is fully intact.
•
Do not remove or alter the solar module
frame.
•
Creating additional mounting holes may
damage the solar module and reduce the
strength of the frame.
•
A 6 mm gap between module frames
should be allowed to avoid tension
from thermal expansion.
•
The solar module may be mounted
using the following methods (torque: 8
- 12 Nm).
•
When installing modules in heavy snow
areas, it is recommended to take an
appropriate countermeasure to prevent
possible damages to the lower side
frame by slipping snow (e. g. attach
supporting part to the lowest modules).
