Installation site, module orientation
INSTALLATION SITE
•
The modules have been inspected for safe operation in a moderate climate in accordance with IEC
61646.
•
The permitted module temperatures are between -40°C and +85°C. Ensure sufficient rear
ventilation in order to avoid elevated module temperatures.
•
Install the modules in coastal regions at least 1000 m removed from the sea.
•
The modules cannot be used for installations at heights of over 2000 m above mean sea level, since
here special conditions for the insulation properties of all electrical components and photovoltaic
modules apply.
•
Do not expose the modules to chemicals.
•
The modules should not be placed in standing water. The junction box is only splash-proof.
•
Solar modules are not explosion-proof equipment. Do not install the modules in the proximity of
highly flammable gases and vapors (such as gas containers, petrol stations) or near open flames
and flammable materials.
•
The modules are not suitable for mobile use or indoor installation.
MODULE ORIENTATION
•
Modules can be installed parallel to the roof with an angle of inclination of at least 3°.
•
Install the module so that the junction box is located in the upper portion of the module and the
cables hang down.
•
The modules need to be installed with a minimum lateral distance of 10 mm from the next
module. Exceptions to this rule must be explicitly approved by Calyxo. The approval is part of the
operating license. Use all of the provided fastening points and prevent the glass and metal from
touching (for example, on the mounting rails).
WARNING!
Fire hazard for improper module orientation!
