INSTALLATION - PV MODULES
39
Warning:
Only Solahart approved earthing plates are to be used.
Warning:
Module frames must be located on top of earthing plate earth bond protrusions.
Warning:
Earthing plates are intended for single use only and must not be reused.
Warning:
If rails are not of a continuous length, or rail splices do not provide satisfactory earth continuity,
earth bond jumper cables must be used across rails or rail splices or each section of rail must have an earth
wire connection.
MODULE MOUNTING
Ensure a minimum clearance of 60 mm between the outer surface of the roof and any part of the module to
allow sufficient airflow beneath the modules and adequate cooling of the modules.
For portrait installations i.e. short edge horizontal, modules must be installed so that the module junction box
is located towards the top edge of the module.
Module cables must be installed so that any water will run away from the junction box.
Each corner of the module frame has small drainage holes to allow water caused by rain or snow melt to exit
the frame easily and to minimize damage caused by freezing and thawing. Please note:
The drainage holes must not be used for mounting the module.
Ensure the drainage holes are clear at all times.
Fastening the modules to the mounting structure
Each module must be securely fixed to the mounting structure at a minimum of four points. The distance
between the end clamp and the end of the rail should be a minimum of 25 mm. The mounting clamps must
be fastened so the clamp lies completely within the range of shown below for each type of module.
