4.3 Use of the PanelClaw system (Part Number 500000501) is permitted with SunEdison Solar PV Modules. Structures
manufactured by PanelClaw Inc. use a special clamp, or "claw" designed to attached to the flange of the PV module at all four
corners, on the two short frame ends. For proper placement, attach a claw over the module frame flange at each of the four
designated locations and tighten the screw so that the claws are flush with the long and short ends of the module flange.
This mounting method has been tested to a maximum rating of 50 psf in the negative and positive direction. See case two in
Table 4.2A above as well as the PanelClaw installation guide for information on the installation of the clamps.
