6.3 INSERTION SYSTEMS
This mounting method has been certified by VDE and
CSA, or qualified by Canadian Solar.
Insertion methods can vary and depend on the
mounting structures. The installer needs to follow the
mounting guidelines recommended by the mounting
system supplier. Each module must be securely
maintained through all its length on two opposite sides.
Install and tighten the insertion profiles to the support
structure using the hardware and instructions provided
by the mounting system manufacturer. The system
designer and installer are solely responsible for load
calculations and for the proper design of support
structure.
Canadian Solar warranty may be void in cases where
improper insertion systems or unsuitable installation
methods are found. When installing insertion profiles,
please take the following measures into account:
1.
Do not bend the module frame.
2.
Do not touch the front glass or cast shadow onto it.
3.
Do not damage the surface of the frame.
4.
Ensure that the insertion profiles overlap the module
frame by at least 10 mm (0.39 in).
5.
Ensure that the module frame (C-shape) overlaps the
insertion profiles by at least 15 mm (0.59 in).
6.
Ensure insertion profile thickness and tolerances suit
module thickness.
Insertion Method A
Two insertion profiles run parallel to
long side frame.
Insertion Method B
Two insertion profiles run
perpendicularly to long side frame.
Insertion Method C
An additional support bar used with
clamps
