6.3 INSERTION SYSTEM
Insertion Method C shown below is recommended only for
monofacial modules.
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 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:
1.
Do not bend the module frame.
2.
Do not touch the front glass or cast shadows onto it.
3.
Do not damage the surface of the frame.
4.
Ensure that the insertion profiles overlap the module
frame by at least 10 mm (0.39 in).
5.
Ensure that the module frame (C-shape) overlaps the
insertion profiles by at least 15 mm (0.59 in).
6.
Ensure insertion profile thickness and tolerances suit
module thickness.
Insertion Method A
Two insertion profiles run parallel to
long side frame.
Insertion Method B
Two insertion profiles run
perpendicularly to long side frame.
Insertion Method C
An additional support bar used with
clamps
