INSTALLATION
The mounting method has been verified by SHARP and NOT CERTIFIED by a third party organization. Please review the descriptions and drawings
carefully; not mounting the modules according to one of these methods may void your warranty. These mounting methods are designed to allow
module loading of 2400Pa.
Mounting Using Frame Bolt Holes (Figures 1 & 2)
The modules may be fastened to a support using the bolt holes in the bottom of the frame at location “C”, as shown in Figure 1 (back view of the
module) and Figure 2 (mounting detail). The module should be fastened with six (6) M8 (5/16”) bolts. Take care during installation to not block the
drain holes (D) shown in Figure1.
Mounting Using Clips on Long Edge of Module: Long Edge Parallel to Array Rails (Figure 4)
The modules may be mounted using clips (clamps) designed for solar modules as shown in Figures 3 and 4. Note that the clip positions are impor-
tant – the clip centerlines must be between 6.4” (162mm) and 15.5” (393mm) from the end of the module. The module must be supported along
the length of the long edge, and should overlap the array rail by at least 0.4” (10mm). Note that the mounting clips should meet the minimum di-
mensions (catch width of 0.2” (5mm) and length of 1.2” (30mm)) as shown in Figure 3. The array rails must support the bottom of the modules and
must be continuous pieces (no breaks in the rail). Take care during installation to not block the drain holes (D) shown in Figure 1.
Mounting Using Clips on Long Edge of Module: Long Edge Perpendicular to Array Rails (Figure 5)
The modules may also be mounted using clips on the long sides of the module when the array rails are perpendicular to the long sides, as shown in
Figure 5. The clip centerlines must be between 6.4” (162mm) and 15.5” (393mm) from the ends of the module. Note that the mounting clips should
meet the minimum dimensions (catch width of 0.2” (5mm) and length of 1.2” (30mm)) shown in Figure 3. The array rails must support the bottom of
the modules and must be continuous pieces (no breaks in the rail). Take care during installation to not block the drain holes (D) shown in Figure 1.

of module and cable from over current, and/or blocking diode for prevention of unbalanced strings
voltage) to block the reverse current flow.
