Insertion Systems - CanadianSolar CS3U-P Installation Manual

6.3 INSERTION SYSTEMS

 This mounting method has been certified by VDE and
CSA, or qualified by Canadian Solar.
 Insertion methods can vary and depend on the
mounting structures. The installer needs to follow the
mounting guidelines recommended by the mounting
system supplier. Each module must be securely
maintained through all its length on two opposite sides.
Install and tighten the insertion profiles to the support
structure using the hardware and instructions provided
by the mounting system manufacturer. The system
designer and installer are solely responsible for load
calculations and for the proper design of support
structure.
 Canadian Solar warranty may be void in cases where
improper insertion systems or unsuitable installation
methods are found. When installing insertion profiles,
please take the following measures into account:
