4 Clearance between the roof surface andmodule frame is required to allow coolingair to circulate around the back of themodule. This also allows any condensationor moisture to dissipate. The requiredclearance between the roof surface and themodule is more than 4 inch. Panasonic recommends the installationmethod and mounting profile shown inFigure 1 A module should be attached on a mountor support structure rail by corrosive-resistant metal clamps. The clamps should be made of aluminumalloy or other material that will reasonablyprotect against a risk of electrolyticcorrosion. The module was tested using Unirac orIronRidge clamps with the specifications seefigure 1 and below;1) Unirac clamps: Provider: Unirac, Inc. Product Line: SolarMount Clamps type: Top Mounting Clamps(Mid clamp and End clamp) Unirac Part No. 302022C, 302022D,302027C, 302027D Width: Mid clamp; 1.5”(38 mm), Endclamp; 1.9”(48 mm) Thickness: Mid clamp; Nominalthickness 0.075”(1.9mm), End clamp;Nominal thickness 0.125”(3.17mm) Torque: 13.6 N.m(10 ft-lbs). Material: Mid clamp; 300 Stainlesssteel, End clamp; 6000 Aluminumalloys Note: Please refer to Unirac manual,for installation method.2) IronRidge clamps: Provider: IronRidge Inc. Product Line: RoofMount Clamps type: Top Mounting Clamps(Grounding mid clamp and End clamp) IronRidge Part No. RS-GD-MCL-225,RS-GD-MCL-225B, 29-7000-224,29-7000-224B Width: Grounding mid clamp;1.16”(29.5 mm), End clamp; 1.5”(38mm) Thickness: Grounding mid clamp;Nominal thickness 0.11”(2.85mm), Endclamp; Nominal thickness0.125”(3.17mm) Torque: 9.5 N.m (85 in-lbs). Material: Grounding mid clamp; 304Stainless steel, End clamp; 5000 &6000 Aluminum alloys Note: Please refer to IronRidge manual,for installation method.Installation (reference)Solar ModuleMid Clamp(2 places)End Clamp(2 places)MountingStructure RailMid Clamp Solar ModuleEnd ClampMounting Structure RailFigure 1.
