B. Mounting with Clamps
• Trina Solar has tested its modules with a number of clamps from different manufacturers and recommends the
use of clamps which have an EPDM or similar insulating washer, fixing bolt of at least M6.
• The clamp must overlap the module frame by at least 7mm(0.28in) but no more than 10mm(0.39in).
• Use at minimum 4 clamps to fix modules on the mounting rails.
• Modules clamps should not come into contact with the front glass and must not deform the frame.
• Be sure to avoid shadowing effects from the module clamps.
• The module frame is not to be modified under any circumstances.
• When choosing this type of clamp-mounting method, use at least four clamps on each module, two clamps
