in which snow tends to accumulate or icicles and/or ice plugs could
obstruct water drainage and cause damage to the module.
In areas with heavy snowfall, adjust the height of the mounted structure
so that snow does not cover any active part of the front side or any back
parts, such as the connection box or cables, for a prolonged period of
time in winter.
The indications stated below are only for standard modules with a
frame:
The modules with frames are supplied with 4 holes on the aluminum
frame, at the distances and with the diameters that are specified in the
data sheets of the products (available at www.siliken.com). These holes
are used to secure the module to a structure which must have been
designed by a qualified technician to support the loads produced by
wind and snow, as indicated in the Directive of Construction (89/106/EEC)
and the Directive 2002/91/EEC Energy Efficiency Building.
The module must be mechanically fixed at least at these four points.
The module is certified when anchored with M8 bolts in 4 fixing holes
on the frame, with a minimum torque of 10 Nm (7.4 ft-lbf) and a maximum
of 15 Nm (11.1 ft-lbf).
