Distance between outer edge of module and middle of the clamp (see table „2.3 Mounting Options“ on page 8).
Loads according to IEC 61215-2:2016 and UL 61730.
Test procedure according to IEC 61215-2:2016 and UL 61730. Mounting options do not fulfill the requirements of the standards.
Push loads for limited areas depend on clearance between frame bottom edge and substructure (e.g. torque tube), please see fig. 4 on page 11.
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, screws, washers etc. has to be evaluated by the system supplier. The listed test load values for Q CELLS were
determined 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). 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 the laminate and mounting rails.
Ä
A minimum support depth of 0.59 in (15 mm) is required on the back side of the module for IP1, IP2, CL2b and CL3. The minimum
required support depth on the module backside for CL5 is 0.39 in (10 mm) on long frame side and 0.59 in (15 mm) on short frame
side. For IP1 and IP2 the minimum support depth on the front side of the module should be 0.39 in 10 mm.
Ä
For CL1 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
The module bends under loads. Therefore, sharp objects (e.g. screws) must not be mounted near the module backside.
Ä
The mechanical stability of the mounting system including clamps, screws, washers, etc. has to be evaluated by the system
supplier.
Ä
Use M8 corrosion-proof screws and washers (diameter ≥ 15.8 mm or ≥ 0.62 in) for FB1 and FB2 mounting.
Ä
Use M6 corrosion-proof screws and washers (diameter ≥ 13.0 mm or ≥ 0.51 in) for TB1 mounting.

Definition of limited areas.
Fig. 4:
Push loads in relation to minimum clearance between
frame bottom edge and substructure.
NOTE
For a requested push load maintain a minimum distance (clearance)
between the bottom module plane (level of bottom frame leg) and
closest substructure element below solar module laminate. The
minimum clearance is defined by the maximum push load and the
limited area where the substructure element is located beneath the
module (see figure 3 and 4).
