Grounding of Back Rails

Even when applicable regulations, code 
requirements and standards do not re-
quire safety-related grounding, AVANCIS 
strongly recommends grounding of the 
PV module back rails in order to ensure 
voltage between back rails and ground 
is zero volts under all circumstances. This 
will increase the safety of the PV system 
in case of malfunctions and protect the 
system from induced over-voltage. For 
safety-related grounding of the mod-
ule back rails, the back rails are provid-
ed with grounding holes (marked with 
grounding signs). These holes should 
be used for grounding purposes only 
and in accordance with the local regula-
tions, code requirements and standards. 
If permitted, AVANCIS recommends for 
grounding to use the grounding holes in 
combination with a screw, nut and two 
lock washers (see figure 1). Please note: 
only materials should be used which 
do not cause corrosion. Make sure that 
the grounding screws do not touch any 
cable. Other means and methods for 
grounding are permissible as long as they 
meet the applicable regulations, code re-
quirements and standards.

Mounting

• Permanent or recurring complete or al-

most complete shading of a small num-
ber of cell stripes (parallel to the long side 
of the module), e.g., by ledges, sheath-
ings or poles, must be avoided. The op-
eration of an AVANCIS module under 
such conditions leads to yield losses and 
can permanently damage the partially 
shaded module.

• The PV modules must be mounted to 

the mounting lip on the back of the back 
rails using 4 SMART clamps available 
from AVANCIS. One SMART clamp holds 
2 PV modules, except for the modules at 
the beginning and end of a module row. 
The SMART clamps shall only be mount-
ed as shown in figure 3.

• In order to install a second module, make 

sure that the clamps are placed over the 
mounting lip of the first module and 
slide the second module towards the first 
module. The mounting lip of the second 
module will automatically lift the clamp 
and the clamp will go down after the 
mounting lip of this module is also under 
the clamp. Finally, fasten the clamp once 
the second module has been positioned 
correctly.

• The glass edges of the two modules 

must not touch during installation as this 
can result in the glass breaking.

• All other parts such as screws, nuts etc. 

are provided by the customer.

• Installation within Germany: For fas-

tening the clamps to the substructure, 
M8 screws made of stainless steel FK70 
according to Z-30.3-6 (Erzeugnisse, 
Verbindungsmittel und Bauteile aus 
nichtrostenden Stählen, Informations-
stelle Edelstahl Rostfrei) must be used. 
These are suitable for the permanent use 
in a PV system.

• Installation outside Germany: For fas-

tening the clamps to the substructure, 
stainless steel screws must be used in ac-
cordance with national requirements for 
the permanent operation of a PV system.

• The full length of the SMART clamps 

must be in contact with the permitted 
mounting zone of the back rails (marked 
in gray in figure 2) and need to be fas-
tened with a torque of 20 Nm. The per-
mitted mounting zone comprises the full 
length of the mounting lip of a back rail 
with the exclusion of the first 6 cm, mea-
sured from the outer end. The permitted 
mounting zone therefore covers the re-
gion between 264 mm and 633 mm as 
measured from the outer glass edge (see 
figure 3).

• The optimal position of the SMART 

clamps is located in the middle of each 
mounting lip of the back rail and it is rec-
ommended for mounting by AVANCIS 
(figure 2). This provides the maximum sta-
bility against mechanical stresses. If there 
is a deviation from the middle position, 
the German general building approval  
Z-70.1-224 has to be considered regard-
ing the resilience (at least in Germany). 
Further information can be obtained 
from AVANCIS or the DIBt (Deutsches 
Institut für Bautechnik).

• The four clamps must be positioned 

symmetrically on the four mounting lips, 
both with respect to the center of the 
module parallel to its long edge and to 
its short edge. 

• The modules can be installed both in 

portrait and landscape format. The per-
missible inclination to the vertical can be 
between 0° and 90°. 

• A usage of the PV modules as overhead 

glazing requires an assessment of the lo-
cal regulations and building codes.

• The mounting structure must be paral-

lel to the short side of the module and 
therefore perpendicular to the back 
rails. Other orientations of the mounting 
structure are not permitted.
