Installation (reference) · Modules should be firmly fixed in place in a manner suitable to withstand all expected loads, including wind and 38 mm snow loads. Solar Module · Metals used in locations that are 38 mm exposed to moisture shall not be Metal clamp B employed alone or in combinations that (2 places) could result in deterioration or corrosion. Metal clamp A · Install modules where they are not (2 places) shaded by obstacles like buildings and trees. Especially pay attention to avoid partially shading the modules by objects during the daytime. Mounting · Contact an Authorized Representative Structure Rail with questions regarding mounting Metal clamp A profiles for modules if needed. Metal clamp B Solar Module · Notes on Installation · Clearance between the roof surface and module frame is required to allow cooling air to circulate around the back Mounting Structure Rail M8 Bolt of the module. This also allows any Metal clamp B condensation or moisture to dissipate. M8 Bolt Install modules so that air can circulate Metal clamp A between the roof and the module. · Leave 1 inch of clearance between the Module roof and the module frame. If other M8 Nut M8 Nut Mounting Structure mounting means are employed this may effect the temperature of the panel. End of Module Between Modules · SANYO recommends the installation method and mounting profile shown in Figure 1 Installation Figure 1.
