Distance between outer edge of module and middle of the clamp.
Loads according to IEC 61215-2:2016 and UL 1703.
Test procedure according to IEC 61215-2:2016 and UL 1703. Mounting options do not fulfill the requirements of the standards.
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 determinded with the
following clamp parameters: clamp width = 1.58 in (40 mm) and clamp depth = 0.39 in (10 mm). The system installer is responsible
for the determination of location-specific load requirements.
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
Ensure, minimum support depth of 0.59 in (15 mm) on the back side of the module for IP1, IP2, CL2b, CL3, CL4 and CL5. Ensure
minimum support depth of 0.39 in (10 mm) on the front side of the module for IP1 and IP2.
Ä
CL1, CL2a and CL3 with rails: Ensure that module frame is fixed directly on the rail of the substructure (no spacer allowed between
the module and substructure).
Ä
Module bend under loads. Therefore, sharp objects (e.g. screws) must not be mounted near the module backside.
Ä
Use M8 corrosion-proof screws and washers (diameter ≥ 15.8 mm or ≥ 0.62 in) for FB1 and FB2 mounting.
