•
Always follow the instructions and safety precautions from the installation guide that came with the support
frame to be used.
•
Drilling holes on the module’s frame and glass parts is not recommended as it will void the warranty.
•
If additional wind or snow loads are anticipated for this installation, the support module mounting structure
must be made of durable corrosion-resistant and UV-resistant material.
•
Modules should not be installed near any other equipment.
•
Ensure that the module is laid evenly between the two rails and sits perpendicular on the railing. If the module
is not perpendicular, slightly adjust the clamp positions to get the proper alignment.
•
Modules must be secured to the mounting structure using all four mounting points for normal installation.
9.1
GROUND MOUNT
Select a mounting system with enough height to prevent the lowest edge of the module from being covered
with snow during winter in areas that experience heavy snowfalls. In addition, ensure that the lowest portion of
the module is placed high enough so that it does not get covered in debris from plants or trees or damaged by
sand and stone driven by wind.
9.2
ROOF MOUNT
When installing module on a roof or building, ensure that it is securely fastened and cannot fall as a result of
wind or snow loads. Provide adequate ventilation under the module for cooling, 10cm minimum air space
between the module and the mounting surface. The slope should be less than 5 in/ft. in order to maintain the
certified fire class rating. When installing module on a roof, ensure that the roof construction is suitable. In
addition, any roof penetration required to mount the module must be properly sealed to prevent leaks. In some
cases, a special support frame may be necessary.
The roof installation of solar modules may affect the fireproofing
of the house construction. The fire rating of this module is valid
only when mounted in the manner specified in the mechanical
mounting instructions. The modules have PV Type 1 of fire rating
in accordance with the UL 61730. Installing a module during
strong winds may cause accidents.
9.3
POLE MOUNT
When installing module on a pole, choose a pole and module
mounting structure that will withstand anticipated winds and
snow loads for the area.
9.4
MOUNTING OPTIONS
9.6.1
Bolt method – Modules are secured to the support structure using an M7 x 16 mm (or ¼” x ¾ “) bolt and
nut with flat washer and spring washer. Hardware is used on all four of the mounting holes on the long
side frame, two on each side. Bolt shall be torqued to 16±2 N-m.
9.6.2
Clamp method - The capture area of the clamps should be a minimum 9.2 mm x 38 mm. Clamps are used
in combination with a flat washer, locking washer, 1/4” nut and bolt that shall be torqued to 16±2 N-m.
Four clamps are secured on the long side frame. The clamp placement locations are measured from the
middle of the clamp to the short side frame:
