1. Introduction
In a solar installation, where panels are mounted side by side in rows, the C Middle Clamp plays an essential role. It is a fastening device placed between two adjacent solar modules, securing both to the mounting rail simultaneously. At Jeho Ashar Energy, precision and engineering efficiency guide the use of middle clamps, ensuring safe, stable, and streamlined solar deployments—especially in Nigeria’s diverse installation environments.
2. What is a C Middle Clamp?
A C Middle Clamp:
- Connects two solar panels side by side
- Ensures uniform spacing between modules
- Fastens both modules to the underlying rail
- Provides wind resistance and mechanical integrity
It is typically installed after the first panel is placed and before the next one is added, holding both securely to the mounting structure.
3. Importance in Solar Systems
The C Middle Clamp:
- Stabilizes the entire solar row, reducing the risk of panel movement due to wind or vibration
- Aligns panel gaps for aesthetic and technical uniformity
- Helps maintain electrical safety, ensuring panels don’t shift and expose connectors
- Simplifies installation by reducing the number of mounting points required
