Design Strength
LGE solar modules are designed to meet a maximum positive or upward, e.g. wind and negative or
downward, e.g. static, load of 5400 Pa (1Pascal: 540kg/m
figurations specified in Section 2.2.
When mounting solar modules in snow prone or high wind environments, special care should be taken
to mount the solar modules in a manner that provides sufficient design strength while meeting the
local code requirements.
Excluded Operating Environments
Certain operating environments are not recommended for specific LGE solar modules and are excluded
from the LGE Limited Warranty for these modules. No LGE solar module should be mounted at a site
where it may be subject to direct contact with salt water.
- Mounting Configurations
A
Mounting using frame bolt holes
Solar modules may be mounted at any angle from horizontal to vertical. Select the appropriate orien-
tation to maximize sunlight exposure. Specific information on the solar module dimensions and loca-
tion of mounting and grounding holes is provided below.
In order to prevent water from entering the junction box, which could present a safety hazard, module
should not be mounted such that the front/top glass faces downward.
Clearance between the solar module frames and structure or ground is required to prevent wiring
damage and to allow air to circulate behind the solar module.
When installed on a roof, the solar module must be mounted over a fire-resistant roof covering rated
for the application.
The solar module is only IEC listed for use when its factory frame is fully intact.
Do not remove or alter the solar module frame. Creating additional mounting holes may damage the
solar module and reduce the strength of the frame.
The solar module may be mounted using only the following methods:
