6.4 MOUNTING METHODS (SINGLE-AXIS TRACKER)
The bolts and clamps used in this section should follow
the requirements in 6.1 and 6.2.
Under any conditions the junction box should not
become in contact with the subjacent racking structure
except for the torque tube under high loading. If any
racking structures, especially bearing house, have to be
located under the modules, any racking structure shall
not higher than frame C side.
If your tracker design cannot meet the above distance
requirement, please contact Canadian Solar technical
support department in writing for advice.

rails using the torque stated by the mounting hardware
manufacturer. M6 X 1 (1/4”) bolt and nut are used for

M6 X 1 (1/4”) coarse thread bolts, depending on bolt
