4. MODULE MOUNTING STRUCTURE (MMS):

i. Anodized Aluminum Structure (General mountings):
(Anodized aluminum with a minimum 70 micron’s thickness.)
a. For very low elevation & flat surface mounting (Coastal region/Very high wind loads - 200 -
250 km/hr): RCC roof ballast structure with wind deflectors
b. For inclined sheet roofs (General purpose mounting):

ii. Anodised mini rails of 70 microns thickness.
iii. Rail dimension should be of 300 mm X 100 mm X 2.6 mm

v. EPDM strips to be used as sealant for waterproofings.
c. For roofs which are unfit for mounting panels:
i. If roofs are not fit for installation due to less structural stability/very old
roofs/rainwater leakage problem, then a suitable location on the ground may be
preferred for the panel installation.
ii. The installation maybe a low elevation MMS with fencing protection around or
may be a high elevation MMS (Approval and support from SELCO foundation
should be taken prior to installation)
ii. Orientation of the MMS:
a. The orientation of the MMS should be due south in general case/flat mounting surfaces.
b. If the roof orientation of the building is deviated away from the south (by less than 30
degrees), then the existing orientation of the building roof can be used for mounting the
panels. If the deviation is more than 30 degrees, then action to correct the deviation should
be taken only after consultation with SELCO Foundation.
c. NOTE:
i. Approval from SELCO Foundation should be sought before finalizing the MMS
design in case of any customization required as per the existing site situations.
ii. Approval from SELCO Foundation should be sought to mount the panels in an
alternate location if the existing roof is unfit for mounting panels.

a. Additional measures should be taken to install PV panels at such high-risk zones.
Installations at such sites should have a low-elevation panel set-up made, along with
“landscape” orientation of PV panels (This would require a custom-made MMS viz
triangular MMS frame/short legged MMS, preferably made with anodized aluminum). The
PV panels should be mounted over the MMS using the “clamping” method only. Anodized
aluminum clamps of 45*4 mm size should be used here. Wind deflectors should be
incorporated at the back & sides of each panel.
Sunshine 5 hours Pulverizer_EmeryStone_3 hp AC_25kgs per hr

b. The structure shall be designed to allow easy replacement of any module with walking
space around the MMS. The array structure shall be so designed that it will occupy
minimum space without sacrificing the output from the SPV panels. Installation of solar
structures should not damage the roof in any way. If any concrete or foundation is required,
it should be precast type.
c. Bidders must follow above types of roof mounting options and the solution is dependent on
the type of roof at the location. a) Flat roof, b) Tin roof. In all cases, considerations must be
made for the roof’s age, structural integrity, access to equipment, and necessary setbacks
for fire and life safety requirements.
d. The MMS should be mounted to the RCC roof using wedge anchor fasteners and a concrete
block of L x W x H = 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.25 feet respectively at each leg (Base clamps) of the MMS
should be introduced. The sides of the cube and roof interface should be given a simple 1-
inch filet construction. At the top side of the cubes, an upward taper should be formed from
cube sides towards M.M.S leg. M15/M20 grade P.C.C should be used for civil works with at
least 3 days of curing.
e. Also, each MMS triangle should be interconnected with the other at the rear base clamp
(back leg) using rails. These rails should house nine concrete blocks over them. An
additional three blocks should be placed under the rail to prevent the sagging of the rail.

9.2 EARTHING:
Code of practice for protective earthing and protection against electric shocks as per the IEC 60364 and IS
3043 standards should be followed. Earthing is a way of transmitting any instant electricity discharge
directly to the ground by providing a low resistance path (using electrical cables wires with no joints or
metal strips with lesser joints). This instant electricity discharge is mostly in the form of lightning, surge
voltages entering through grid lines and due to fault current/leakage current in the system. The goal is to
protect the appliances from voltage surges and protect the users from the risk of electrocution due to
leakage/fault current in the system.
i. Earthing type - Chemical Earthing
ii. Electrodes used should be a copper-bonded electrode with 250 microns of copper thickness
iii. The electrode should be minimum of 70 mm by diameter and maximum of 4 feet by length
iv. Earth backfill compound - Graphite based (For normal soil conditions) and Bentonite based (For
