Where should clamps be connected to the PV module?

When the mechanical load pressure is ±2400Pa, Clamps should be connected to the module between 400 and 500mm from the edge of the module. This distance is from the module edge to the middle of the clamp. *NOTE: We need two or three support rails below the PV module to make sure the module have a good mechanical load performance.

What is the clamp size for a PV module?

For framed PV module, the clamp must overlap the module frame at least 8 mm (0.32 inch) but no more than 11 mm (0.43 inch). The cross section of clamp can be adjusted if the module is securely fastened. For frameless PV module, the clamp must overlap the module frame at maximum 15 mm (0.59 inch).

How to install Trina Solar module with frameless clamps?

Please consult with a Trina Solar engineer before installing with the frameless clamps. Clamps should be connected to the module between 300 and 400 mm from the edge of the module. This distance is from the module edge to the middle of the clamp. *Note: Need two support rails below the PV module to make sure the Mechanical load.

How do I install a double glass PV module?

Insert the PV module into the clamp, and make sure the module edge touch to the EPDM closely and then tighten the nut with uniform torque values using a qualified torque wrench to ensure the double glass module is firmly secured. Trina suggests using M8 bolts to affix the double glass modules onto the clamp.

Which materials should be used to install photovoltaic modules?

JA Solar recommends that when installing modules at the seaside, stainless steel or aluminum materials should be used to contact the photovoltaic modules, and the installation parts should be well protected from corrosion. The tilt angle of the modules is measured between the surface of the modules and a horizontal ground surface.

How do I mount a PV module to a substructure?

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS PV modules can be mounted to the substructure using either corrosion-proof M8 bolts placed through the mounting holes on the rear of the module or specially designed module clamps. A clearance of at least 115mm(4.5in) (recommended) is provided between modules frame and the surface of the wall or roof.
