The problem they'll have with a completely flat module is that rain
won't wash the dust off.

Carl,
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.
Either way the answer should still be on the specific module's spec
sheet or most definitely in the install manual.
It is usually listed as "max load capacity" or "snow load" and be
given in pascals.

Carl,
Each specific module install instruction guide should state the
acceptable mounting attachment points.

Hello wrenches,
I 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.
Does 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.
Cheers
