Installation of a Photovoltaic Module
The solar modules can be installed vertically and horizontally. For installation you have to
use a suitable mounting rack. SOLUXTEC approves the application of the mounting rack and
the clamp from Schletter GmbH. The mounting system belongs to the Schletter Standart
Serie, the exactly type designification of the rails are ,,Module Bearing Profil
e Solo 05‘‘ and
those of the clamps is ,,Middelclamp or Endclamp mm or Rapid 2+ Clamp
‘‘. The fixing has to
be effected on 4 points on the long side of the module. The only exception which allows a
mounting on the short sides is the use with a tank elevation support for flat roofs. In this case
a fixing on the narrow sides of the module is allowed. To assess an ideal brick course, it is
necessary to calibrate the generator control panel on roof before beginning of the installation.
In doing so the rail system should be justified absolutely equal, otherwise it will come to
bracing of the module and thereby it can lead to a breakage in the module. Inside the PV-
plant use middle-clamps. At the borders of the PV-plant use end-clamps.
The substructure and the material for the fixing of the module have to be layed out and
installed, so that they resist to local burden like wind and weather.
During clamping of the modules a minimum distance of 20% and a maximum distance from
25% of the long side to the narrow side is to be adhered. Both alternate clamps have to
occur to the same edge distance vertically to the long side of the module.
