MOUNTING METHODS: SIXPOINT MOUNTING
A six-point mounting configuration secures the panel on three continuous rails (or other support structures) with three clamps on each side of the panel in
the zones marked below: This helps to increase the downward load a panel can withstand, e.g., snow. The third clamp is typically installed in the central
area of the panel as shown in Fig. :
CAUTION
• The middle rail must not be installed on the side of the junction box where the cables exit.
• A total of three continuous rails (or other support structures) must be used to secure the panel.
• The center point of each clamp and the minimum grip length must be fully located within the marked zone to be rated to the given value
(fig. ).

Once a module is secured as described above (fig. ), additional clamps, i.e., ≥, may be freely located on panel frame without
affecting the warranty. Loads marked with a * were not certified as part of IEC / testing; these have been evaluated by
REC’s internal testing process.
