Installation methods
Modules can be installed on the frame using mounting holes, clamps* or an insertion system. Modules must be installed
according to the following examples. Not mounting the modules according to these instructions may void the warranty.
* The minimum recommended length for each clamp is 50 mm.
Module can be installed in both landscape and portrait modes.
The modules must be properly secured to their support so that they can withstand live load conditions, including positive
and negative load, to the pressure they have been certified for. It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that the clamps used to
secure the modules are strong enough.
Attachment guidelines
Select the proper installation method depending on the load(See below for more detailed information).
All installation methods herein are only for reference, and Suntech will not provide related mounting components. The
system installer or trained professional personnel must be responsible for the PV system's design, installation, and mechanical
load calculation and security of the system.
With different installation methods, the modules have been tested to withstand the loads of 2400 Pa, 3800 Pa and 5400 Pa
according to IEC 61215 standard, equivalent of 1600 Pa (0.232psi), 2500 Pa (0.363 psi) and 3600 Pa (0.522 psi) respectively under
UL 1703 standard.
For each installation, modules can be installed either in portrait or landscape mode. If you integrate our obsolete products
and need advice, please contact Suntech Global Customer Support Department for installation instructions based on older
manuals.
