Mechanical Installation
The LG Electronics solar modules are
designed for a maximum test load of
5,400 Pa ­ 1 Pascal = 1 kg/m/s² – when
they are installed in a mounting system
which is also designed for these loads.
Ensure that the regional wind and snow
load zones do not exceed this test load.
In a roof mounting, ensure that the statics
of the roof are sufficient to bear the
loads arising from the photovoltaic sys­
tem.
Solar modules from LG Electronics may
only be mounted in accordance with the
methods described in the sections be­
low.
The solar modules can be fastened to
the mounting system using mounting
holes in the module frame or by using
module clamps.
Solar modules from LG Electronics can
be mounted at any positioning angle.
However, their orientation must be ad­
justed to ensure that the front does not
32
point downwards, since otherwise water
can enter the junction box on the rear
side of the module.
Select the orientation to ensure maximum
solar irradiation on the solar modules.
The ideal orientations are south­facing
in the northern hemisphere and north­
facing in the southern hemisphere. In
Central Europe, the pitch angle should
be 30°, whereas in the south it should be
a little less. The pitch should not be less
than 20° to 25°, as this will compromise
the self­cleaning feature of the module
surfaces.
Ensure that no shadow falls on the mod­
ules from antennae, chimneys, growing
trees or similar objects.

LG Electronics, please refer to the data
sheets of the solar modules. The data
