Design Strength:
YURAKU modules are designed to meet a maximum positive (or upward, e.g. wind) design
pressure of 2400 Pa and negative (or downward, e.g. static load) design pressure of 5400 Pa
when mounted in one of the mounting configurations specified in Section 6.2.
A design strength of 2400 Pa corresponds approximately to a wind speed of 125 mph.
When mounting modules in snow-prone or high-wind environments, special care should be
taken to mount the modules in a manner that provides sufficient design strength while meeting
local code requirements.
Excluded Operating Environments:
Certain operating environments are not recommended for YURAKU modules and are excluded
from the YURAKU Limited Warranty for these modules.
•
No YURAKU module should be mounted at a site where it may be subject to direct
contact with salt water. Recommended distance from the sea: 1.600 feet.
•
YURAKU modules with an anti-reflective coating on the glass should not be mounted in
basic environments (those which have a PH balance equal to or greater than 7). Basic
environments degrade the coating, reduce module energy gain and may cause a non-
uniform appearance. This is not a concern in most areas because most outdoor
environments are acidic and therefore do not pose a problem, but YURAKU recommends
that the site be checked before mounting the modules, especially in coastal settings.
•
Where YURAKU module could be exposed to sulfur or other corrosive chemicals, such as
near sulfur springs or volcanoes because of the danger of corrosion.

Modules may be mounted at any angle, from horizontal to vertical. Select the appropriate
orientation to maximize sunlight exposure. Specific information on module dimensions and the
location of mounting and grounding holes is provided below (Figure 3).
