Installation of solar panel fall protection device

To prevent photovoltaic modules from falling, solar panel fall protection devices are installed in the PREVARIO solar mounting system. Two solar panel fall protection devices per module are clamped onto the upper module rail in the lowest module row of a generator area. This ensures that if a panel falls, the upper edge of its frame remains attached to the protection device. A protection device which has been activated is only a short-term safety solution Affected modules should be reinstalled immediately.
