Most PV module manufacturers have specific
locations or zones where top-down clamps can be
installed. Typically, this zone falls within 1/8 and
1/4 the length of the module.
* *
In order to allow for thermal expansion in the
system,
should not exceed 40 ft. or a run of 12
5
modules. After 12 modules (or 40 ft.), there must
be a break in the rail without a splice.
