(B) Clamping installation
Modules can be installed with clamps. Modules must be securely attached to the mounting structure with
four clamps on the long frame.
The modules must be properly secured to their support so that they can withstand live load condition,
including wind uplift, to the pressure they have been certified for. It’s the installer’s responsibility to
ensure the clamps used to secure the modules are strong enough.
The modules are not subject to wind or snow loads exceeding the maximum permissible loads.
The module clamps which are used must not come into contact with the front glass and must not
deform the frame. Avoid shadowing effects from the module clamps. Drain holes in the module
frame must not be closed or obscured by the clamps.
The module installed with clamps on the front frame for load (see the following picture), and refer to
the following table.
