Notes:
•
To maximize mounting longevity, Yingli Solar strongly recommends the use of corrosion proof (stainless steel) attachment hardware.
•
To check whether the surface of the beam is flat and smooth, or add rubber pads on the beam to prevent the module from being crushed when it is pressed down.
•
L represents the length of the long side of the module, the described distances are from the module edge to the middle of the clamp.
•
The long-side frames of the module are fixed to the mounting beam or rail by at least 4 clamps that can be fitted with M8 bolts.
•
The length of the clamp ≥ 40 mm, and the module frame to maintain at least 7 mm but not more than 10 mm overlap part, could not contact with the front glass, shall not make the frame
deformation, and should avoid the shading effect of the clamp.
•
Tighten M8 bolts to a torque of 14~20 N·m. The tightening steps as follows: use torque wrench to tighten nut to target torque, nut loosen 90~180 degrees, finally tighten the nut to the
target torque and reduce the torque attenuation.
