3.1.

 

General installation instructions 

Make sure that all locally applicable standards, construction regulations and 
accident prevention regulations are complied with. 

The modules must be installed in accordance with National Electrical Code 
(NEC) in the US and in accordance with CSA C22.1, Safety Standard for 
Electrical Installations, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I (CEC) in Canada. 

Only use mounting systems recommended by Conergy that can withstand 
the expected loads for snow, wind, etc. The recommended minimum stand-
off height is 54 mm. 

Select an installation location with the maximum sunlight at all times of the 
year. Avoid shaded areas. Damage to modules can occur when continuously 
shaded. 

In northern latitudes, orient the solar modules to the south. Determine the 
ideal setting angle according to the latitude of the installation location. 
Request this information from your dealer or find it in the official tables. 

Always mount the solar modules with the same orientation and tilt angle. 
Otherwise special consideration will need to be given to system design and 
inverter selection. 

Maintain an adequate distance between adjacent solar modules to allow for 
expansion in case of changing thermal conditions. 

Maintain an adequate distance between the solar module and the mounting 
surface to ensure sufficient rear ventilation. 

The solar modules can be mounted both vertically and horizontally. 

You can find further installation instructions in the installation manual for the 
respective mounting system. 

The solar modules may be bolted or clamped in place depending on the 
design of the frame. The mounting system must be made from material that 
is resistant to corrosion and atmospheric conditions and able to withstand the 
loads required.
