4. Information regarding the module
Certification, Performance data
Heckert Solar GmbH is one of the few suppliers in the sector that still produces absolutely all of its own-brand modules in
Germany, placing great value on the certification of its product quality. For details of the performance specifications of our
modules please refer to the data sheets of the corresponding series.
Usage
Please take the following factors carefully into account when using our modules:
•
Do not immerse the solar module in liquids or fluids of any kind.
•
The solar module is not compatible with seawater (recommended separation 500 metres from the sea).
•
The module should not be exposed to extreme chemical contamination (e.g. harmful emissions from industrial
premises).
•
Do not use lenses or mirrors to concentrate the prevailing light (danger of overheating).
•
Avoid damaging the module through hard-metal and diamond-edged objects.
•
Protect solar modules from voltage surges (such as those produced by battery chargers, generators, etc.). If in
doubt, please contact your specialist dealer.
•
When connecting solar modules to storage batteries, be sure to observe the safety precautions specified by the
battery manufacturer.
•
Keep children away from the solar modules.
The closer the site of installation is to the equator, the more likely it becomes that the currents and voltages present can
exceed those generated by a PV module under standard test conditions. You should therefore multiply the module’s
indicated I
sc
and U
os
values by a factor of 1.25, when determining the voltage ratings of components, current ratings of
conductors and sizes of fuse for connection at the PV-module outputs.
The maximum measured rating for overcurrent protection (reverse-current resistance) is 15A.
5. Module installation
Heckert Solar-brand modules are available in standard configuration, with aluminium frame; as laminated units without a
frame (for rooftop and embedded roof-installation), and with SOLRIF
®
frames for embedded roof-installation using the
SOLRIF
®
system. The availability of our own fitting system, along with those supplied by our partners Schweizer Metallbau
(SOLRIF
®
in-roof) and Schletter, ensures that we can handle virtually any rooftop installation, while also offering solutions
for certain building-frontage configurations. If you nevertheless intend to use a different system of installation, please be
sure to follow the instructions provided by the supplier concerned.
Instructions can be downloaded from the corresponding websites:
