    As the individual components have been optimized and structurally synchronized, a minimum system price is achieved. PvMax3 allows to use framed as well as unframed modules that can be mounted either in portrait or in landscape, or with the Schletter combined clamping system. It is also possible to mount additional accessories for the cable management or components for the internal potential equalization.

    3.2. Rack tolerances PvMax3 is always confi gured specifi cally for the wind and snow loads at the respective installation site. In the interest of economic effi ciency, usually the maximum load-bearing capacity of the individual component is exploited. To achieve this, however, the racks must be mounted with the utmost precision.
