Distance between outer edge of module and middle of the clamp; consider further details below.
Loads according to IEC 61215-2:2016 and UL 61730.
Rails must not be under the junction box.

REQUIREMENTS
All
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 listed
test load values have been determined with the following clamp parameters: clamp width = 1.57 in (40 mm)
and clamp depth = 0.39 in (10 mm).
The system installer is responsible for the determination of location-specific load requirements.
Ensure that the connection cables of the junction box and microinverter do not run between laminate
and mounting rails.
If connection cable runs between laminate and mounting it should be running at mounting rails position
close to frame parts.
Modules bend under load. Therefore, sharp objects (e.g. screws, ballast stones, rail ends, rails with burrs
or sharp corners) must not be placed near the module backside so as not to touch the laminate under
load.
Mounting rails must not be mounted under the junction box and microinverter.
Ensure that the junction boxes do not touch the mounting structure (e.g. shorts rails, ballast, etc.) or the
rooftop under load. Clamps or insertion profiles etc. must not touch the glass (even under load).
Unbalanced loads (e.g. snow overhangs, snowdrifts) which result in locally significantly increased loads
must be removed or avoided by technical measures.
CL1a, CL2a, CL3,
CL6a, FB1, FB2
Ensure that module frame is fixed directly on the rail of the substructure (no spacer allowed between
the module and substructure).
CL1a
At push test loads of 4000, 5400, 6000 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).
CL1b
Using of short mounting rails are permissible, if they overlap with the module less than 8.27 in (210 mm).
Maintain a minimum distance (clearance) of ≥ 2.17 in (55 mm) between frame bottom edge and roof top
or ballast
CL1b, CL2b, CL3,
CL6c, CL6d, FB2
A minimum support depth of 0.59 in (15 mm) is required on the back side of the module.
CL3, CL6c, CL6d,
IP1, FB2
Maintain a minimum distance (clearance) of ≥ 2.36 in (60 mm) between frame bottom edge and roof top
or ballast
CL5
Maintain a minimum distance (clearance) of ≥ 2.76 in (70 mm) between frame bottom edge and roof top
or ballast.
The minimum required support depth on the module backside is 0.39 in (10 mm) on long frame side and
0.59 in (15 mm) on short frame side.
CL6c, CL6d
Use of short mounting rails under the modules are permissible, if they do not touch the laminate under
load.
IP1
Ensure minimum support depth of 0.59 in (15 mm) on the backside and 0.39 in (10 mm) on the front side
of the module.
FB1, FB2
Use M8 corrosion-proof screws and washers (diameter ≥ 0.62 in (15.8 mm)) for mounting slots (Detail A,
Fig.1). Mounting screws and washers should have the same material properties.
