6. Module mounting and module clamping
The module clamping is carried out according to the project planning (portrait,
landscape or combined module arrangement). The distance between modules
can deviate from the standard value.
Standard value:
•
clamped side
23 mm
•
side without clamping
5 - 10 mm
(according to the specifi cations in the technical drawing; specifi cations by the
module manufacturer are considered)
23 mm
5 - 10 mm
Clearance (= distance between module and module clamp) of
•
min. 0.5 mm
•
max. 2 mm
must be observed (module abuts on the spacer notches).
0.5 - 2 mm
0.5 - 2 mm

Solar modules are third party components that are not included in the scope of delivery of the PvMax3
substructure. Schletter GmbH thus points out that the safety notices and mounting instructions of the
module manufacturer are to be observed. And please also note the notices given in these
Mounting Instructions when mounting the photovoltaic modules!
The following points must be taken into consideration at any event:
•
Photovoltaic modules are electrical devices. They must be treated carefully!
•
Impacts, kicks, shocks or vibrations must be avoided.
•
It is not allowed to put loads on the modules (trespassing, storing of items, etc.).
•
Scratches or dirts on the module surface must be avoided.
•
It is not allowed to pull or tear at the module cables. Do not heavily bend the module cables.
Observe the clamping points specifi ed by the module manufacturer!
Please note the data sheet of the photovoltaic module provided by the manufacturer to verify the
clamping points.
Tolerance from module front edge to ground level
•
± 50 mm
The M8 hexagon socket screws of the module clamps must be tightened to a torque of 14 Nm unless
otherwise specifi ed by the manufacturer!
