Mounting by using frame bolts holes
• Secure the solar module to the structure by using
the factory mounting holes.
• Four M6 stainless steel bolts, four nuts, four spring
washers, and eight flat washers are recommended
per solar module.
• The module may be fastened to a support by using
both the outer and inner bolt holes of the frame.
• Each module should be securely fastened at a
minimum 4 points on two opposite sides.
• Specific information on the solar module
dimensions and location of mounting holes is
provided in ‘Product Specifications’.
• Tighten the bolt securely by using the combination
shown above. Place the spring washer between
the Flat washer and Nut.
Mounting by using clamps
• The module may be fastened to a support by using
clamps on both the long edge and the short edge
of the modules.
• Specific information on the solar module
dimensions and location of clamping is provided in
‘Product Specifications’.
Mounting Methods
General Information
• Select the appropriate orientation to maximize
sunlight exposure.
• Module should not be mounted or stored in a way
that the front/top glass faces downward in order to
prevent water from entering the junction box, which
could cause a safety hazard.
• Clearance between the solar module frames and
structures such as roofs or ground is required to
prevent wiring damage and to allow air to circulate
behind the solar module. The recommended
standoff height is a minimum of 100mm
• When installed on a roof, the solar module must be
mounted over a fire-resistant roof covering rated
for the application. The fire resistance of the solar
module is class C after ANSI/UL790.
• The solar module is only IEC listed for use when its
factory frame is fully intact.
• Removal or alteration must be done by an
authorized and qualified individual
• Creating additional mounting holes may damage
the solar module and reduce the strength of the
frame.
• We recommend a 6mm gap between module
frames to avoid tension from thermal expansion.
• The fire rating of this module is valid only when
mounted in the manner specified in the mechanical
mounting instructions.
• The module is considered to be in compliance with
UL1703 only when the module in mounted in the
manner specified by the mounting instructions
below.
• The solar module may be mounted by using the
following methods: (*Torque:8~12Nm )
• When installing modules in heavy snow areas,
special care should be taken to install the modules
in a manner that provides sufficient design strength
while meeting local code requirements.
