Distance between outer edge of module and middle of the clamp; consider further details below.
Loads according to IEC 61215-2:2016 and UL 61730.
Rails must not be under the junction box.
MOIUNTING OPTIONS
REQUIREMENTS
All
Ä
The loads in the table are related to the mechanical stability of the solar modules. The
mechanical stability of the mounting system including clamps has to be evaluated by the system
supplier. The listed test load values have been determined with the following clamp parameters:
clamp width = 40 mm and clamp depth = 10 mm.
Ä
The system installer is responsible for the determination of location-specific load requi-
rements.
Ä
Ensure that the connection cables of the junction box do not run between laminate and
mounting rails.
Ä
Modules bend under load. Therefore, sharp objects (e.g. screws, ballast stones, rail ends, rails
with burrs or sharp corners) must not be placed near the module backside so as not to touch the
laminate under load.
Ä
Ensure that the junction boxes do not touch the mounting structure (e.g. shorts rails, ballast, etc.)
or the rooftop under load. Clamps or insertion profiles etc. must not touch the glass (even under
load).
Ä
Unbalanced loads (e.g. snow overhangs, snowdrifts) which result in locally significantly
increased loads must be removed or avoided by technical measures.
CL1a, CL2a, CL3,
FB1, FB2
Ä
Ensure that module frame is fixed directly on the rail of the substructure (no spacer allowed
between the module and substructure).
CL1a
Ä
At push test loads of 5400 Pa: The clamp position is variable in the given range but the
distance between the clamps along the long side of the module (span) must not be larger than
1250 mm.
CL1b
Ä
Using of short mounting rails are permissible, if they overlap under the module less than 210 mm.
Minimum clearance between frame bottom edge and roof top must be ≥ 35 mm.
CL1b, CL2b, CL3,
FB2, CL6c, CL6d
Ä
A minimum support depth of 15 mm is required on the back side of the module.
CL5
Ä
The minimum required support depth on the module backside is 10 mm on long frame side and
15 mm on short frame side.
IP1
Ä
Ensure minimum support depth of 15 mm on the backside and 10 mm on the front side of the
module.
FB1, FB2
Ä
Use M8 corrosion-proof screws and washers (diameter ≥ 15.8 mm) for mounting slots (Detail A,
Fig.1). Mounting screws and washers should have the same material properties.
CL6c, CL6d
Ä
Use of short mounting rails under the modules are permissible, if they do not touch the laminate
under load.
