Use fasteners to fasten the modules to the
mounting support structure. Modules should be
bolted to support structures through mounting
holes located in the frame’s back flanges only.
Do not drill additional holes in the frame. Doing
so will invalidate the warranty. Modules should
not be mounted by supports at the ends.
Mounting support structure should withstand
forces from wind and snowfall pressure etc.
Mounting support structure should use proper
materials and corrosive treatment. Installation
the modules should have proper ventilation.
Clearance behind the modules is required to
permit air circulation and cooler module
operation. Elevated temperatures lower
operating voltage and power, and shorten
module lifetime. Clearance of 1/4 inch (6.35mm)
or more between modules is required to allow
for thermal expansion of the frames.
The recommended standoff height is 4.5 inch
(about 115 mm). If other mounting means are
employed it would cause unpredictable effect.
Figure 1:
Mounting holes for normal installation
Module must be securely attached to the
mounting structure using 8 holes for normal
installation as indicated in figure 1. Load
calculations shall be done by the system
designer or installer.
Each hole shall be installed in the order as in
the following figure.
Figure 2:
For your reference,please use the components
specified in below:
1.Bolt(inside hexagonal)
Material:Stainless Steel
Size and Length: M8*16mm
(M6*16 for TSP-54&TS*-60)
2.Washer
Material:Stainless Steel
Size:M8 (M6*16 for TSP-54&TS*-60)
3.Spring Washer
Material: Stainless Steel
Size:M8 (M6*16 for TSP-54&TS*-60)
4.Nut
Material: Stainless Steel
Size:M8 (M6*16 for TSP-54&TS*-60)
Remark: TS*-60 means TSM-60 & TSP-60
Recommended torque is between 14N.m to
20N.m.
Modules should be mounted using specialized
clamps as shown in Figure 3.
1.Modules should be attached on a supporting
structure rail by metal clamps. It is recommended
to use the clamps under the following condition or
approved by the system installation.
At the edge
installation, using the similar clamp which can be
matched to the clamp in figure 3.
2.Recommended bolt (M8) torque rang:18N.m to
24N.m.
3.The Modules clamps must not contact the front
glass or deform the frame in any way. Avoid
shading effects from the Module clamps.
Drainage holes on the Modules frame must not
be closed or obscured by the clamps.
