Protective Grounding
Ä
The modules must be grounded in accordance with the
local statutory regulations.
Functional grounding
•
When using an installation tilt of < 5° a functional
grounding at the negative generator conncetion must
be implemented.
Ä
Ensure that the difference of potential between the
negative generator connection and the PE(N) of every
MPP tracker of the respective inverters is 0 V.
Ä
Follow the directions of the inverter manufacturer.
Ä
Only use inverters which include lincensed grounding
kits.
Ä
For an adequate ground, the grounding hardware should
penetrate the anodized layer.
If a PV system will be installed in warm and humid
climates or close to a source of continual moisture
(waterfall, reservoir, etc.), these situations may cause PID
reducing the performance of the PV system. To reduce
the risk of PID, we strongly recommend installers to have
such protections:
•
PV module grounding of negative pole
•
Using Isolated Transformer inverter
•
Using an off-set box or relevant technology units

7 DISPOSAL
Ä
Do not disconnect modules by yourself.
Ä
Please contact an installer or Q CELLS Technical Customer
Service Department.
Ä
Dispose of modules in accordance with the local disposal
regulations.
Ä
The symbols on the products, packaging,
and /or accompanying documents mean
that end of life photovoltaic modules
should not be mixed with general
household waste. For proper treatment,
recovery and recycling of end of life
photovoltaic modules, please take them to
applicable collection points in accordance
with your national legislation. If you wish
to discard end of life photovoltaic modules,
please contact your local authorities or
dealer and ask for the correct method of
disposal.
Q CELLS solar modules are known for a long operating
life and minimal maintenance effort and expense. Dirt
and grime are usually washed away by rain. If the module
is fully or partially shaded by dirt or debris (e.g., plants,
bird droppings), it needs to be cleaned to prevent a loss
of performance.
Maintenance
Ä
The system should be inspected by an installer annually
to check the following:
•
all system components sit securely and are corrosion
free.
•
the connection is secure and all electrical components
are clean and undamaged.

FAULTS AND DEFECTS
DANGER!
Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock!
Ä
Do not attempt to fix any problems yourself (e.g.,
glass cracks, damaged cables).
