2. Selecting the proper support frame
Always observe the instructions and safety precautions included with the support frame to be
used with the module.
Never attempt to drill holes in the glass surface of the module, it will void the warranty.
Do not drill additional mounting holes in the frame of the module, it will void the warranty.
Fig.41
Modules must be securely attached to the mounting structure using four mounting points for
normal installation. If additional wind or snow loads are considered for the installation, additional
mounting points are also used.
The support frame must be made of durable, corrosion-resistant and UV-resistant material.
The heat expansion and cold contraction of the support frame should have no affect on its
usage or performance.
3. Ground mount
Select the height of the mounting system to prevent the lowest edge of the module from being
covered by snow for a long time in winter in areas that experience heavy snowfalls. In addition,
assure the lowest portion of the module is placed high enough so that it is not shaded by plants
or trees or damaged by sand and stone driven by wind.
