6.1 MOUNTING METHOD: BOLTING
·Modules should be bolted to support structures through mounting holes located in the frame's back flanges only. Do
not drill additional holes or modify the module frame. Doing so will void the warranty.
·Each module must be securely fastened at a minimum of 4 points on two opposite sides, using the most inner
mounting holes. If additional wind loads are anticipated for this installation, additional mounting points should be
used. System designer and installer are responsible for load calculations and for proper support structure design.
·Modules should be bolted at the following hole locations depending on the configuration and load as verified by the
test method in IEC 61215:

Technical notes
·
For NewEdge module frames (NewEdge series: CS5A-xxxMX, CS6A-xxxPX and CS6P-xxxPX models), please refer
to the most updated IM/NEWE-EN technical note (INTERTEK & CSA certified).
· For CS5A-M-L laminate models only, floating clamped configuration should be used. Please refer to the most
updated IM/LAM-EN technical note (CSA certified)
7.0 MAINTENANCE
·
Regular maintenance is required to keep modules clear of snow, bird droppings, seeds, pollen, leaves, branches,
dirt spots and dust.
· If a module has a sufficient tilt (at least 15 ), it generally is not necessary to clean the modules (rainfall will have a
0
self-cleaning effect). When there is a noticeable buildup of soiling deposits on the module surface, wash the PV array
with water and a gentle cleaning implement (a sponge) during the cool part of the day. Dirt must never be scraped or
rubbed away when dry, as this will cause micro-scratches.
· If snow is present, a brush with soft bristles can be used to clean the surface of the module.
· Periodically inspect the system to make sure all wiring and supports stay intact.
· If you need electrical or mechanical inspection or maintenance, it is recommended to have a licensed, authorized
professional carry out the job to avoid hazards of electric shock or injury.
· Do not change the PV components (diode, junction box, plug connectors).
ANNEX A: MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL RATINGS
Standard Test Conditions are: irradiance of 1 kW/m , AM1.5 spectrum, and cell temperature of 25℃ (77℉).
The electrical characteristics are respectively within ± 10 percent or [0,+5W] of the indicated values for Isc, Voc and
Pmax. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
