All the basic requirements of the main installation manual should apply to the alternative mounting methods, unless otherwise speciied.

Design load and safety factors will be determined by the racking suppliers or professional engineers. For detailed information, please follow local structural code or contact your professional structural engineer.

MOUNTINg METhOD A

CLAMpINg

· The mounting method has been qualiied by

Canadian Solar Inc. and certiied by VDE and CSA.

Do not bend the module frame

Do not touch or cast shadows on the front glass

Do not damage the surface of the frame

Ensure the clamps overlap the module frame by at least 5 mm (0.2 in)

Ensure the clamps overlap length is at least 40 mm (1.57 in)

Min. 3 mm thickness

· Top or bottom clamping methods will vary and are dependent on the mounting structures. Please follow the mounting guidelines recommended by the mounting system supplier.

· Each module must be securely fastened at a minimum of four points on two opposite sides.

The clamps should be positioned according to the authorized position ranges deined in table

A. Install and tighten the module clamps to the mounting rails using the torque stated by the mounting hardware manufacturer. M8X1.25-

Grade8.8 bolt and nut are used for this clamping method. Tightening torques should be within

17~23 Nm (12.5~17.0 ft-lbs) for M8 coarse thread bolts, depending on the bolt class. For the bolt grade, the technical guideline from the fastener suppliers need to be followed.Different recommendations from speciic clamping hardware suppliers should prevail. System designer and installer are responsible for load calculations and for proper design of support structure.

· Canadian Solar Inc.’s warranty may be void in cases where improper clamps or unsuitable installation methods are found. When installing inter-modules or end-type clamps, please take the following measures into account:

Min. 5 mm overlap

Min. overlap length

40 mm

· Clamp material should be anodized aluminum alloy or stainless steel.

· Clamp positions are of crucial importance for the reliability of the installation. The clamp centerlines must only be positioned within the ranges indicated in table A, depending on the coniguration and load.

· For conigurations where the mounting rails run parallel to the frame, precautions should be taken to ensure the bottom lange of the module frame overlaps the rail by 15 mm (0.59 in) or more.

Min. 15 mm overlap width www.canadiansolar.com

INSERTION SySTEMS

· The mounting method has been qualified by

Canadian Solar Inc. and certified by VDE and CSA.

· Insertion methods can vary and depend on the mounting structures. The installer needs to follow the mounting guidelines recommended by the mounting system supplier. Each module must be securely maintained through all its length on two opposite sides. Install and tighten the insertion profiles to the support structure using the hardware and instructions provided by the mounting system manufacturer. System designer and installer are solely responsible for load calculations and for the proper design of support structure.

· Canadian Solar Inc. warranty may be void in cases where improper insertion systems or unsuitable installation methods are found. When installing insertion profiles, please take the following measures into account:

1.Do not bend the module frame

2.Do not touch the front glass or cast shadow onto it

3.Do not damage the surface of the frame

4.Ensure that the insertion profiles overlap the module frame by at least 10 mm (0.39 in).

5.Ensure that the module frame (C-shape) overlaps the insertion profiles by at least 15 mm (0.59 in).

6.Ensure insertion profile thickness and tolerances suit module thickness of 40 mm (1.57 in) modules).

ANNEX D: MODULE CLEANINg gUIDELINE

This manual covers requirements for the cleaning procedure of Canadian Solar Inc. photovoltaic modules. The purpose of these cleaning guidelines is to provide general information for cleaning

Canadian Solar modules. Professional installer should read these guidelines carefully and strictly follow these instructions.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in death, injury or property damage to photovoltaic module. Damages induced by inappropriate cleaning procedures will void Canadian Solar warranty.

SAFETy wARNINg

· Cleaning activities create risk of damaging the modules and array components, as well as increasing the potential electric shock hazard.

· Cracked or broken modules represent an electric www.canadiansolar.com

18 | shock hazard due to leakage currents, and the risk of shock is increased when modules are wet.

Before cleaning, thoroughly inspect modules for cracks, damage, and loose connections.

· The voltage and current present in an array during daylight hours are suicient to cause a lethal electrical shock.

· Ensure that the circuit is disconnected before starting the cleaning procedure as contact with leakage of electrically active parts can result in injury.

· Ensure that the array has been disconnected to other active components (such as inverter or combiner boxes) before starting with the cleaning.

· Wear suitable protection (Clothes, insulated gloves, etc.).

· Noticeable dirt must be rubbed away by gentle cleaning implement (soft cloth, sponge or brush with soft bristles).

· Ensure that brushes or agitating tools are not

abrasive to glass, EPDM, silicone, aluminum, or

steel.

· Conduct the cleaning activities avoiding the hottest hours of the day, in order to avoid thermal stress on the module.

Recommended the following to be used:

· Water with low mineral content

· Near neutral PH water

· The maximum water pressure recommended

is 4 MPa (40 bar)

CLEANINg METhODS

· Do not immerse the module, partially or totally, in water or any other cleaning solution.

hANDLINg NOTICE

· Use a proper cleaning solution and suitable cleaning equipment.

· Do not use abrasive or electric cleaners on the module.

· Particular attention should be taken to avoid the module backsheet or frame to come in contact with sharp objects, as scratches may directly affect product safety.

· Do not use de-greasers on the module.

· Do not use cleaning corrosive solutions containing

acid, alkali, acetone, or industrial alcohol.

· Canadian Solar Inc. recommends to avoid rotating brush cleaning method, as it can lead to the formation of micro cracks.

Method A: Compressed Air

Canadian Solar Inc. recommends cleaning the soft dirt (like dust) on modules just with air pressure. This technique can be applied as long as the method is efficient enough considering the existing conditions.

Method B: wet cleaning

If excessive soiling is present on module surface, a non-conductive brush, sponge, or other mild agitating method may be used with caution.

· Ensure that any brushes or agitating tools are constructed with non-conductive materials to minimize risk of electric shock and that they are not abrasive to the glass or the aluminum frame.

· If grease is present, an environmental friendly cleaning agent may be used with caution.

AMENDMENT EDITIONS AND DATES

· The first edition Rev A1 is released in Apr, 2014.

· The second edition Rev A2 is released in Dec, 2014

· The third edition Rev A3 is released in Aug, 2015

· The fourth edition Rev A4 is released in Mar, 2016

· The fifth edition Rev A5 is released in June, 2016

· Dirt must never be scraped or rubbed away when dry, as this will cause micro-scratches on the glass surface.
