including wind and snow loads.
Please do not touch the glass surface

of modules to protect from dirt,
because the glass surface is coated.

necessary, they must not penetrate
the inner side of the aluminum frame.
Caution
is
advised
accidentally drilling, scratching, or
penetrating the back sheet surface of
the module.
If required, it is
recommended
to
add
ground holes to the outer aluminum
lip area of the module. In such case,
additional ground holes must be at
least 65 mm away from any frame
corner.
For a non-integral module or panel,
•
the assembly is to be mounted over a
fire resistant roof covering rated for
the application.
Appropriate material should be used
•
for mounting hardware to prevent the
module frame, mounting structure,
and hardware itself from corrosion.
Install modules where they are not
•
shaded by obstacles like buildings
and trees. Especially pay attention to
avoid partially shading the modules
by objects during the daytime.
Please
contact
your

Authorized
Representative
questions regarding mounting profiles
for modules if needed.
Notes on Installation
Clearance of "10 cm" between the
•
roof surface and module frame is
required to allow cooling air to
circulate around the back of the
module.
This
also
condensation or moisture to dissipate.
Install modules so that air can
circulate between the roof and the
module.

shown in Figure 1. In some areas,
local electrical codes may govern the
installation and use of PV modules.
