Distance between outer edge of module and middle of the clamp.
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.
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 sys-
tem 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 = 1.5 in (38 mm) and clamp depth = 0.39 in (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 49.2 in (1250 mm).
Ä
CL1b: Using of short mounting rails are permissible, if they overlap with the module less than 8.27 in (210 mm). Minimum height of
the short mounting rails should be ≥ 1.38 in (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 junction box’s connection cables 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, CL3 and CL6b. 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 the front side of the module for IP1 and IP2, this minimum support depth should be 0.39 in (10 mm).
Ä
For 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
The module bends under loads. 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.
