Installation Method
Clamping the Smart 60-cell Mono PERC Module
Modules can be laid on rails, either on the long side of the frame (
Figure 1) or on the
short side of the frame.
Figure 1: Connecting modules by clamps on long side of frame
Attach each aluminum mounting clamp with an M8 bolt, a plain washer, a spring
washer, and an M8 nut. At least 4 clamps should be used to fasten the modules on the
supporting rails.
NOTE
Make
sure
to
use
clamps
with
the

mm,
d
≥

mm,
and
Ø
=

mm
(See

for
tightening
the
bolts
and
nuts
is
28
N*m
when
the
bolts
and
nuts
have
property
is
Class

To fasten the module:
1. Place the module on two supporting rails (not provided). The rails should be made
from stainless material or treated with an anti-corrosion process (e.g.,anodic
oxidation treatment).
2. If the rail does not have grooves compatible with M8 bolts, suitable holes should be
drilled for securing the module frame.
3. Secure each clamp by attaching a plain washer, spring washer, and nut, in that order.
