Installation Guidelines for Solar Panels:

Solar panels should be set up in a landscape format for optimal fit and efficiency. The mount supports the use of 4.8m long rails, which can either be utilized as full-length pieces or segmented into 400mm sections. These sections can then be strategically placed across each ballast to secure mid-clamps, end-clamps, and the solar panels themselves.

Opting for 400mm rail pieces involves positioning two segments atop each ballast, both at the upper and lower ends. This approach can significantly reduce costs associated with using full-length rails. However, it’s important to note that this configuration is merely a recommendation. The ultimate layout and installation method are at the discretion of the solar panel installer, allowing for flexibility based on specific project needs or preferences.
