Do not remove or alter the module frame. Creating additional mounting
holes may damage the module and reduce the strength of the frame.
The Solaria modules must be mounted using industry standard ground
mount hardware roof mount hardware, or single and dual axis PV
trackers.
If other
mounting means are employed, then product
certification or fire class ratings may be affected.
For roof mounting, the modules should be mounted over a fire-resistant
covering rated for the application.
Clearance of 7 mm or more between modules is required to allow for
thermal expansion of the frames.
Clearance of 100 mm or more is recommended between the modules and
the rooftop or nearest surface.
Always keep the back surface of the module free from any foreign objects
or structural elements which could come into contact with the module.
Ensure that the modules are not subject to wind or snow loads in excess
of the maximum permissible loads and are not subject to excessive
forces due to thermal expansion of the support structure.
Modules have been tested to Mechanical Loading Test requirements of
UL1703.
The fire rating of this module is valid only when mounted in the manner
specified in the mechanical
mounting instructions.
The module is considered to be in compliance with UL1703 only when the
module is mounted in the manner specified by the mounting instructions.
A module with exposed conductive parts is considered to be in
compliance with UL1703 only when it is electrically grounded in
accordance with the instructions presented in this document and the
requirements of the National Electrical Code.
Any module without a frame (laminate) shall not be considered to comply
with the requirements of UL1703 unless the module is mounted with
hardware that has been tested and evaluated with the module under this
standard or by a field inspection certifying that the installed module
complies with the requirements of UL1703.
