The mounting structure must not cause any twist
or stress to be placed on the modules.
Rails: The mounting rails must provide support
for the modules. To allow the modules to
comply with the safety requirements, the clips,
which mount to the rails, must be placed in
specific locations on the modules. These
locations are shown in Figure 2.0.
Avoid placing rails directly beneath the
label, which is located on the backside of
the module. The label is located 25 mm
from the outside of the long edge and is 600
mm from the short edge.
For systems which will have more than one row
of modules, it is often desirable to have
symmetric mounting rails to simplify construction
in the field. A suggested approach is to utilize
rails that are mounted 610 mm apart, as shown
in Figure 4.0. This will also allow enough
clearance between modules – about 20 mm - for
rain runoff, snow melt, and a reasonable safety
clip.
Layout: The panels can easily be placed side
by side, making for an efficient layout as
illustrated in Figure 4.1.
