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.

2.3 MOUNTING OPTIONS
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
CL1b: Using of short mounting rails are permissible, if they overlap under the module less than 210 mm. Clearance between frame
bottom edge and roof top should be ≥ 1.2 in (30 mm).
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. 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.
Ä
For CL1a, CL3, mCL3, FB1, FB2 and mFB2 with rails: Ensure that module frame is fixed directly on the rail of the substructure
(no spacer allowed between the module and substructure).
Ä
CL1a, FB1: These mounting options are not recommended as mounting rails will cast shade on the module rear side.
Ä
The module bends under loads. Therefore, sharp objects (e.g. screws) must not be mounted near the module backside.
Ä
Unbalanced loads (e.g. snow overhangs, snowdrifts) which result in locally significantly increased loads must be removed or
avoided by technical measures.
Ä
mCL3, mFB2: Mounting rails need to extend beyond the middle of clamps or middle of mounting holes by at least 20 mm. Clamps
must not extend beyond the mounting rails.
Ä
Outer mounting holes: hole size = 0.33 × 0.63 in (8.5 mm × 16 mm) require M8 corrosion-proof screws and washers
(diameter ≥ 15.8 mm or ≥ 0.62 in). Mounting screws and washers should have the same material properties.
Ä
Inner tracker mounting holes: hole size = 0.28 × 0.39 in (7 mm × 10 mm) require M6 corrosion-proof screws and washers
(diameter ≥ 13.2 mm or ≥ 0.51 in). Mounting screws and washers should have the same material properties.
