Framed and frameless PV - Modules

Diagonal Strap and Anti-Slip Hardware Installation:

Once all module mounting rails 
are mounted on the triangles, 
the diagonal straps need to be 
attached. 

See Figure 6.1.

One of these is mounted for 
each completed row and at 
least one for every 40 ft.

The diagonal straps are 
fastened to the rear triangle 
struts using T-Bolts.

See Figure 6.2

(Torque: 6 to 8 ft. lbs.)

Installation of diagonal strap is 
now complete and modules are 
ready to be mounted.

The modules must be equipped 
with anti-slip protection before 
they are mounted. This is done 
by attaching M6 x 20 screws 
(with the shank downward) with 
M6 nuts in the lower mounting 
holes on the bottom of the module frame. When mounting large modules 
(e.g. ASE250), M8 x 20 screws are used. (1/4-20 X ¾) 

See Figure 7.1

Next, slide the first module onto the module mounting rail until the anti-slip 
protection screws hit the lower module mounting rail.

Module Installation:

Now slide the end clamp onto 
the module mounting rail and 
the module, and adjust it to 
the module frame height. Turn 
the screws 

counterclockwise

 

to fasten the end clamp. 

See 

Figure 7.2

(Torque: 6 x 8 ft. lbs.)

Now click the mid clamp onto the module 
mounting rails and slide it onto the module. Ensure 
that the mid clamp clicks onto both sides of the 
mounting rail.

See Figure 8.1

Slide the next module under the clamp ensuring that the modules are 
pressed tightly against the module spacer. 

See Figure 8.2

Continue this process for all modules. Module end clams will also be 
installed in the same manner as described in section 7.2 on the opposite end 
of the table.

Modules are now installed and ready to be properly grounded.
