Introduction
Thank you for choosing aleo modules. aleo solar manufac-
tures high-quality, state-of-the-art solar modules that will
supply environmentally-friendly energy generated by sunlight
for many years when correctly installed and properly
operated.
This manual contains important information for planning a
photovoltaic system and about the installation and mainten-
ance of aleo modules.
Please read the following installation and operation infor-
mation thoroughly before installing, operating, or servicing
aleo modules and be sure to follow the instructions in this
document. First and foremost, please take careful note of the
safety information!
WARNING
The danger, warning, and caution notices, as well as
the information and procedural instructions in this
manual are obligatory. Follow these instructions in
order to avoid endangering life and limb. Doing so will
also prevent damage to your photovoltaic system or
building.
NOTICE
The recommendations in this manual help ensure that
your photovoltaic system achieves optimum energy
yields and a long service life under the given con-
ditions. These recommendations are not obligatory.
You may deviate from these recommendations in order
to take into account local circumstances. In this
manual, recommendations are identified by the words
'recommendation', 'recommend', etc.
3.1.
Normal use
aleo solar offers a wide range of solar modules.
NOTICE
aleo modules are designed to be used for the
production of electrical energy in grid-connected
photovoltaic systems. If you would like to use them
for another purpose, e.g. to directly charge a
battery, then please pay attention to the notices in
this document.
aleo modules were developed for stationary use. Do
not install aleo modules on vehicles and do not use
them in air, space, or sea travel applications.
aleo modules are suitable for installation in coastal
areas. More detailed information can be found in
Ch. 5.1.5, 'Coastal areas'.
aleo modules are suitable for installation near
facilities where animals are kept. More detailed
information can be found in Ch. 5.1.6, 'Proximity to
facilities where animals are kept'.
Do not use aleo modules if they are exposed to
concentrated sunlight or strong artificial light, nor if
they could be submerged in water or other liquids
or are exposed to vapours.
Product-specific information (e.g. the datasheet) for a certain
module type may contain more specific or, in some cases,
differing information. aleo modules should only be used for
the purpose for which they were intended as described in the
product-specific information.
