GCL Installation Guide

Module Installation
General Installtion
The mounting structure must be made of durable, corrosion-resistant and UV-resistant
materials. Always use a tested and certied mounting structure for the system.
Make sure Modules are securely fastened to the mounting structure to withstand
corresponding wind load and snow load.
Select a suitable height for the mounting system to prevent the lowest portion of the
Module covered by snow in winter. In addition, ensure the bottom of the Module is
high enough so that the Module will not be shaded by plants or damaged by ying
sands.
As for the system installed on the ground, the minimum distance GCLSI recommends
between the bottom of Modules and the ground should be 24 inches (60 cm).
Before installing Modules onto a rooftop, make sure the roof construction is suitable
and the installed Modules will not exceed the roof area. Besides, the roof must be
properly sealed to prevent leaks.
When installing Modules to a pole, the selected mounting structure and pole shall be
able to withstand the expected wind load and snow load in the area.
Make sure Modules are not subject to wind or snow loads exceeding the maximum load
permitted by GCLSI and not subjected to excessive force due to the thermal expansion
of the mounting system. It is not allowed to overlap the Modules.
Provide adequate ventilation to the back of the Module for cooling. A minimum
distance of 10cm between the installation surface and the Module is GCLSI generally
recommended.
To prevent the linear thermal expansion of the Module frames, GCLSI suggests that the
minimum distance between two Modules should not be shorter than 2cm.
Always follow the guidance and safety rules specied in the mounting system.
Do not drill holes on the glass surface or the frames of the Module, which will void the
warranty.
