MOUNTING CLAMPS Use the mounting holes - 297 mm (MSE 290 PERC 60) or 370 mm (for MSE 350 PERC) for mounting through clamps. Make sure that the module is centered between the two purlins and sits perpendicular on the purlins.

All the end clamps should be torqued to this value. Ensure that the channel nuts do not extend outside of the purlin. Drop the mid-clamp into the purlin.

It’s usually not dangerous for the accumulated dust to reduce the sunshine, because the light intensity is still homogeneous and the power reduction is not usually obvious.
