Guidelines
Modules may be mounted at any angle from horizontal to vertical. Select the appropriate
orientation to maximize sunlight exposure.
A gap between the module and system structure or ground is required to prevent wire
damage and to allow air to circulate behind the module.
Take care to follow all applicable regulations, especially municipal and fire codes, when
planning and executing your installation. Do not remove or alter the module frame.
Additional mounting holes may damage the module and reduce the strength of the frame.

3.1 Mounting with Screws
•
Secure the module to the structure using only the factory drilled mounting holes.
•
Do not drill any additional holes in module frame (doing so would void the warranty).
•
Use corrosion-proof fastening materials.
•
A torque wrench must be used for assembly. In the examples shown, the tightening
torque of M6 size screw should be 8N
．
m and the tightening torque of M8 size screw
should be 21N
．

•
Refer to product datasheet for the module dimensions and mounting hole locations.

Secure each module to the structure using four stainless steel bolts, with nuts, washers, and
lock washers. When using this mounting option, only the existing mounting holes (with the
current diameter of 9mm
