MOUNTINg METhOD B:
INSERTION SySTEMS
· The mounting method has been qualified by
Canadian Solar Inc. as well as certified by VDE and
CSA.
· Insertion methods can vary and depend on the
mounting structures. The installer needs to follow
the mounting guidelines recommended by the
mounting system supplier. Each module must
be securely maintained through all its length
on two opposite sides. Install and tighten the
insertion profiles to the support structure using
the hardware and instructions provided by the
mounting system manufacturer. The system
designer and installer are solely responsible for
load calculations and for the proper design of
support structure.
· Canadian Solar Inc. warranty may be void in cases
where improper insertion systems or unsuitable
installation methods are found. When installing
insertion profiles, please take the following
measures into account:
Do not bend the module frame.
Do not touch the front glass or cast shadow
onto it.
Do not damage the surface of the frame.
Ensure that the insertion profiles overlap the
module frame by at least 10 mm (0.39 in).
Ensure that the module frame (C-shape)
overlaps the insertion profiles by at least
15 mm (0.59 in).
Ensure insertion profile thickness and
tolerances suit module thickness.

Use two insertion profiles running perpendicularly to
the long side frame. An additional support bar should
be placed below the module. Use two clamps on the
support bar.
