<div>Carl,</div>
<div>I realized mis-read/answered your question. I was having
a couple conversations yesterday about clamping modules on
the short side and it must have still been on my mind when I
read your question.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Either way the answer should still be on the specific
module's spec sheet or most definitely in the install
manual. </div>
<div>It is usually listed as "max load capacity" or "snow
load" and be given in pascals.</div>

have a request for quote, which shows modules
mounted horizontally on a supporting structure.
This is being done more for show than production
obviously. The approved modules in the bid spec
are Sharp, Renesolar, LDK, and Trina.<br>

anyone know if these modules are approved, by the
manufacturer, for flat (horizontal) mounting, or
have a good point of contact with any of these
manufacturers so I can get a quick answer direct
from them? We have a 20 psf design snow load in
our area.<br>
