Trinasolar De09m.05 Solar Panel User Manual

Trinasolar DE09M.05 Solar Panel

This document is intended to add mounting options in addition to the already existing and described methods within the Trina Solar User Manuals.
In order to achieve the best use of installation of systems, mounting system shall be designed or selected according to the project requirements. Fixation (including bolts, clamps, hooks, etc.) used in a system shall not be failure (malfunctioned to cause loose or any other issues which may damage the PV modules) in any circumstance. Trina Solar recommends a minimum clamp length of 50 mm (1.97 inch) with thickness of ≥3 mm (0.12 inch) for highstrength metal clamps.

INSTALLATION

Short side clamping with 4 clamps and rail underneath the module short side

Graphic view	Description
	Clamp position can be within the range 0 – xxx mm (clamping range refers to Table 1) for all 4 clamps attached to the module short side; clamping range can be asymmetrical, clamp 1 & 2 can have a different position from the module edge compared to clamp 3 & 4.

Legend

	Solid mounting rail under the module which fully supports the module frame from underneath and is also used to fix the clamps into.
	Module clamp which has to fulfill Trina’s minimum requirements in terms of grip length and grip depth.
