quality  assurance  issues  shall  be  decided  by  the 

two parties through a joint re-agreement. 

 

If  the  above  precautions  are  not  followed,  the 

Chint Solar Warranty will be invalid. 

5.2

 

Installation angle selection 

 

The tilt angle of the modules is measured between 

the  surface  of  modules  and  a  horizontal 

grounding  face,  as  shown  in  figure  1.  The 

modules generate maximum power output when it 

faces the sun directly. 

 

In  the  northern  hemisphere,  modules  should 

typically  face  south,  and  in  the  southern 

hemisphere, modules should typically face north. 

Dust  building  up  on  the  surface  of  the  modules 

can  impair  module  performance,  Chint  Solar 

recommends  installing  the  modules  with  a  tilt 

angle  of  at  least  10  degrees,  making  it  easier  for 

dust to be washed off by rain. At the same time, it 

is conducive to the flow of accumulated water on 

the  surface  of  the  module,  and  avoids  long-term 

large  amounts  of  accumulated  water  leaving 

marks  on  the  glass  surface,  thereby  affecting  the 

appearance and performance of the module.   

 

Figure a    Schematic diagram of tilt angle

 

 

PV  modules  connected  in  series  should  be 

installed in the same orientation and angle. If the 

orientation  and  angle  are  different,  the  solar 

radiation  received  by  each  module  may  be 

different, resulting in power loss.

   

5.3

 

Installation Method 

 

The  photovoltaic  module  mounting  bracket  must 

be  made  of  durable,  corrosion-resistant,  and 

UV-resistant  materials.  The  mounting  bracket 

must  be  inspected  and  tested  by  a  third-party 

testing  organization  with  static  mechanical 

analysis  capabilities  to  meet  the  country,  region, 

or corresponding international standards. 

 

The photovoltaic module must be firmly fixed on 

the mounting bracket. If the photovoltaic module 

is installed in a snow-covered area, the height of 

the support should ensure that the lowest point of 

the  photovoltaic  module  will  not  be  covered  by 

snow.  In  addition,  it  should  be  ensured  that  the 

lowest  point  of  the  photovoltaic  module  will  not 

be blocked by surrounding trees or other plants. 

 

When  the  photovoltaic  module  is  installed  on  a 

bracket  parallel  to  the  roof,  the  minimum  gap 

between  the  frame  of  the  photovoltaic  module 

and  the  roof  is  10cm,  and  air  circulation  is 

required  to  prevent  damage  to  the  wiring  of  the 

photovoltaic module. 

 

The  frame  of  the  photovoltaic  module  will  have
