Step 2: Install two mid clamps on the side of the panel as described below.
a) Referencing the figure below, insert mid clamps with grounding clips onto both rack rails.
b) Push the mid clamps against the panel so that the mid clamps overlap the top of the panel,
and the body of the clamps are flush against the side of the panel. The grounding clip must
be between the top of the rack rail and the bottom of the panel for proper grounding.
c) Mid clamps are shared between adjacent panels. Tighten the mid clamp fasteners to hold
the panels in place, but do not torque the mid clamps until all panels are installed.
Step 3: Repeat steps 1 and 2 above for the remaining solar panels. When installing four (4) solar
panels, the left-most and right-most panels will require two (2) end clamps and two (2) mid clamps. The
middle panels will require four (4) mid clamps, with mid clamps being shared between adjacent panels.
Step 4: After installing all solar panels, make any final adjustments to the panel positions and torque all
end clamps and mid clamps to 97 in-lbs. (11Nm). Image below is of the final assembly.
NOTE:
Each mid clamp must have a grounding clip as shown above. Ensure the
grounding clips are installed between the bottom of the solar panel and the top
of the rack rail. This will ensure proper grounding of all solar panels.
