5. SITE SELECTION AND WORK ENVIRONMENT 

☆ 

In most applications, the PV modules should be installed in a location

 

where there is no shading 

throughout the year. Please make sure that there are no obstructions in the surroundings of

 

the site 

of installation.   

☆ 

Take proper steps in order to maintain reliability

 

and safety, in case the PV modules are used in 

areas such as: Heavy

 

snow areas / Extremely cold areas / Strong wind areas / Installations

 

over, or 

near, water / Areas where installations are prone to salt water

 

damage / Small islands or desert 

areas. 

☆ 

If you are planning to use the PV modules where the salt water damage

 

may be possible, please 

consult with EGING local agent first to determine an

 

appropriate installation method, or to 

determine whether the installation is

 

possible. 

☆ 

EGING PV modules have also passed salt mist corrosion test according to IEC60701. But 

corrosion may occur in the module frame connecting to the bracket portion or the portion of ground 

connection. those parts shall be prepared with anti-corrosion treatment before usage.   

☆ 

Make sure flammable gases are not generated near the installation site. 

☆ 

EGING PV modules have passed the tests in IEC61215 and IEC61730, including damp heat test, 

wet leakage current test and so on. The protection level of EGING PV modules is IP65. The PV 

modules should not be installed in flooded areas. The junction box should be on the higher side of 

the module when it is mounted. 

☆ 

EGING recommend that the PV modules should be installed in the place where the operating 

temperature is from -20

 to 46

. The operating temperature is the maximum and minimum 

monthly average temperature of the installation site. The limit of working temperature is from -40

 

to 85

☆ 

EGING PV modules can be used on proper structure or any other place which is suitable for 

module installation(such as ground, roof and façade). 

 

6. TILT ANGLE 

☆ 

The tilt angle of the PV module is the angle between the PV

 

module and a horizontal ground 

surface. The PV module generates the

 

maximum output power when it faces the sun directly.

 

 

☆ 

In the Northern

 

Hemisphere, the PV modules should typically face south, and in the

 

Southern 

Hemisphere, the PV modules should typically face north. 

☆ 

For the standalone systems with a battery where the PV modules are

 

attached to a permanent 

structure, the tilt angle of the PV modules

 

should be determined to optimize the performance 

when the sunlight is

 

the scarcest. In general, if the electric power generation is adequate when the 

sunlight is the scarcest, then the angle chosen should be adequate during the rest of the year. For 

grid-connected installations where the PV modules are attached to a permanent structure, it is 

recommended to tilt the PV module at the angle equal to the latitude of the installation site so that 

the power generation from the PV module will be optimum throughout the year. 

☆ 

For the detailed installation angle, which is different in different area, may refer to the 

recommendation of the experienced PV modules installation supplier. 

 

7. WIRING

 

☆ 

To ensure proper system operation and to maintain your warranty, observe the correct cable 

connection polarity (Figures 2 & 3) when connecting the modules to a battery or to other modules.
