This mounting option is not recommended as mounting rails will cast shade on the module rear side.

Ensure that module frame is fixed directly on the rail of the substructure (no spacer allowed between the
module and substructure).
Use M8 corrosion-proof screws and washers (diameter ≥ 0.62 in (15.8 mm)) for mounting slots (Detail A, Fig.1)
and M6 corrosion-proof screws and washers or bobtails for tracker slots (diameter ≥ 0.51 in (13 mm); Detail B,
Fig. 1). Mounting screws and washers should have the same material properties.

Mounting rails need to extend beyond the middle of mounting holes by at least 0.79 in (20 mm). Clamps
must not extend beyond the mounting rails.
Use M8 corrosion-proof screws and washers (diameter ≥ 0.62 in (15.8 mm)) for mounting slots (Detail A, Fig.1)
and M6 corrosion-proof screws and washers or bobtails for tracker slots (diameter ≥ 0.51 in (13 mm); Detail B,
