Clamp fitting:
Using suitable module clamps on the LONG side of the module frame
to mount the modules is “portrait orientation” mode, while on the SHORT side of the
module frame is “landscape orientation” mode.

Select the appropriate installation method depending on the load (see below for more
detailed information).
The module clamps should not come into contact with the front glass and must not
deform the module frame. Avoid any shadowing effects from the module clamps.
The module frame can not be modified under any circumstances. Regardless of the
orientation chosen, at least 4 clamps must be used on each module. For portrait
orientation, 2 clamps should be attached to the long sides of the module and for
landscape orientation 2 clamps should be attached to the short sides of the module.
Depending on the local wind and snow loads, additional clamps may be required. The
applied torque should be about 8Nm. Please find detailed mounting information in the
below illustration:
The modules should be completely free of shade at all times.
Do not place the modules near a location where flammable gases are either
generated or collected.
3.2 Select suitable mounting rails
Please observe the safety regulations and installation instructions included with the
mounting rail. If necessary please contact the supplier directly for further information.
The modules must be safely set onto the mounting rail. The whole rail supporting the
photovoltaic system must be strong enough to resist potential mechanical pressures
caused either by wind or snow, in accordance with local, regional and state safety (and
other associated) standards.
Make sure that the mounting rail will not deform or affect the modules when it
expands as a result of thermal expansion.
The mounting rail must be made of durable, anti-corrosive and UV-resistant materials.
3.3 Select suitable mounting methods
PHONO SOLAR modules can be mounted using two methods:
Screw Fitting:
Use corrosion-proof screws in the existing installing holes in the
module frame. Each module has 8 mounting holes for securing the module on the
mounting rail. The module frame must be attached to a mounting rail using M8
corrosion-proof screws together with spring washers and flat washers in symmetrical
locations on the module. The applied torque should be approximately 8Nm. Please
find detailed mounting information in the below illustration:
