The mounting rail must be made of durable, anti-corrosive and UV-resistant materials.
6.2 Mounting with clamps
SoliTek has tested its modules with Alumero CLICK 6.8 clamps. Use at minimum 4 clamps to fix
modules on the mounting rails. Modules clamps metal parts should not come into contact with the
front or back glass. When choosing this type of clamp-mounting method, use at least four clamps on
each module; two clamps should be attached on each long side. Depending on local wind and snow
loads, additional clamps may be required to ensure that modules can bear the load.
Applied torque should refer to mechanical design standard according to the bolt customer is using.
It is recommended to use only certificated equipment for the PV plant installation.
Alumero CLICK 6.8 clamps tightening torque should be at least 15 Nm, but not greater than 20 Nm.
Usually 15 Nm is reached when two aluminum profiles touch each other. When using other mounting
clamps please refer to manufacturers recommendations.
