Distance between outer edge of module and middle of the clamp; consider further details below.
Loads according to IEC 61215-2:2016 and UL 61730.
Test procedure according to IEC 61215-2:2016 and UL 61730. Loads for these mounting options do not fulfill the requirements of the standards.
Rails must not be under the junction box.

ATTENTION

 

Ä

The loads in the table are related to the mechanical stability of the solar modules. The mechanical stability of the mounting 
system including clamps has to be evaluated by the system supplier. The Q CELLS listed test load values were determined 
with the following clamp parameters: clamp width = 40 mm and clamp depth = 10 mm. The system installer is responsible for 
the determination of location-specific load requirements.

 

Ä

CL1a at high loads (5400 / 4000 Pa): The clamp position is variable in the given range but the distance between the clamps 
along the long side of the module (span) must not be larger than 1070 mm.

 

Ä

CL1b: Using of short mounting rails are permissible, if they overlap with the module less than 210 mm. Minimum height of the 
short mounting rails should be ≥ 35 mm (clearance between frame bottom edge and roof top).

 

Ä

Ensure, that the subconstruction does not touch the junction box (even under load). Ensure that the clamps or insertion profiles 
etc. do not touch the glass (even under load).

 

Ä

Ensure, that the connection cables of the junction box do not run between laminate and mounting rails.

 

Ä

A minimum support depth of 15 mm is required on the back side of the module for IP1, IP2, CL2b, CL3 and CL6b. The minimum 
required support depth on the module backside for CL5 is 10 mm on long frame side and 15 mm on short frame side. For IP1 
and IP2 the minimum support depth on the front side of the module should be 10 mm.

 

Ä

CL1a, CL2a and CL3: Ensure that module frame is fixed directly on the rail of the substructure (no spacer allowed between 
the module and substructure).

 

Ä

Module bends under load. Therefore, sharp objects (e.g. screws) must not be mounted near the module backside.

 

Ä

Unbalanced snow loads (e.g. snow overhangs, snowdrifts) which result in locally significantly increased loads must be removed 
or avoided by technical measures.

 

Ä

Use M8 corrosion-proof screws and washers (diameter ≥ 15.8 mm or ≥ 0.62 in) for FB1 and FB2 mounting. Mounting screws 
and washers should have the same material properties.
