2.3 Mechanical Installation
I
ntroduction
Solar PV modules usually can be mounted by using the following methods: bolts and clamps.
﹡
Note:
(1)
All installation methods herein are only for reference, and Jinko Solar will not provide
related mounting components
. T
he system installer or trained professional personnel
must
be responsible for the PV system’s design, installation, and mechanical load
calculation
and security of the system.
(2)
Before installation, the following items should be addressed:
1)
Visually check the module for any damage. Clean the module if any dirt or residue
remains from shipping.
2)
Check if module serial number stickers match.
3)
The minimum distance between modules should be more than 10mm for all installation
methods.

The
mounting
with bolts and/or clamps
on the
long side of
the
frames
could
meet a
maximum positive
testing
(downward) pressure of
54
00Pa
and negative
testing
(upward)
pressure of
24
00Pa. The
mounting w
ith clamps
on the
short side of
the
frames
could meet
a
positive
testing
(downward) pressure
and negative
testing
(upward) pressure of 1600Pa
.
The mounting
of
clamps
on
the long &
short sides of
frames
could meet
a positive
testing
(downward) pressure and
negative
testing
(upward) pressure of 2400Pa.
with a 1.5 times safety factor.
