Example for ballasting 3 rows: 

2.2.4 Insertion of earthing plates

The earthing plate is placed between the grooves of the module carrier on 
the upper module holder. Two earthing plates are placed per module carrier.
The distance of the earthing plates to the edge of the module carriers is 40 
– 50 mm and corresponds with the placement of the module clamp (see fol-
lowing chapter).
The earthing plate will subsequently bite into the module frame.

Optionally, the earthing plates may be temporarily fixed up to half with a 
thin adhesive strip

40

50 mm
