INSTALLATION 

General 
Please  read  this  guide  completely 
before 

installing 

or 

using 

your 

Panasonic  PV  modules.  This  section 
contains 

important 

electrical 

and 

mechanical specifications. 

 

Modules  should  be  firmly  fixed  in 
place  in  a  manner  suitable  to 
withstand 

all 

expected 

loads, 

including wind and snow loads.  

 

Metals  used  in  locations  that  are 
exposed  to  moisture  shall  not  be 
employed  alone  or  in  combinations 
that  could  result  in  deterioration  or 
corrosion. 

 

Install  modules  where  they  are  not 
shaded  by  obstacles  like  buildings 
and  trees.    Pay  special  attention  to 
avoid  partially  shading  the  modules 
by objects during the daytime.  

 

If  needed,  contact  an  Authorized 
Representative 

with 

questions 

regarding  mounting  profiles  for 
Panasonic HIT

®

 
Notes on Installation  

 

Clearance  between  the  roof  surface 
and  module  frame  is  required  to 
allow  cooling  air  to  circulate  around 
the  back  of  the  module.  This  also 
allows any condensation or moisture 
to  dissipate.    Install  modules  with  a 
minimum 

of 

inch 

clearance 

between  the  roof  surface  and  the 
modules so that air can circulate. 

 

Panasonic 

recommends 

the 

installation  method  and  mounting 
profile shown in Figure 1  

 

A  module  should  be  attached  on  a 
mount  or  support  structure  rail  by 
corrosive-resistant metal clamps. 

 

The  clamps  should  be  made  of 
aluminum  alloy  or  other  material 
that  will  reasonably  protect  against 
a risk of electrolytic corrosion.   

 

Recommendation  of  bolt  torque 
range: 16N.m to 20N.m  

 

The module was  tested using Unirac 
clamps  with  the  specifications  see 
figure 1 and below;
