Transport and Storage
Procedure in the event of transort damage
You are responsible for checking the goods
and packaging for transport damage immedi-
ately on receipt. If any damage is discovered,
note it on the shipping papers describing
each pallet in detail, and take photographs as
documentary evidence. Have the driver coun-
tersign these notes. If more than 33 % solar
modules on one pallet are damaged, refuse to
accept the pallet. Please fill out the „Transport
Damage Complaint Notification“ form (www.
solarwatt.com) and return it to SOLARWATT.
SOLARWATT solar modules are made from
high-quality materials and are therefore
extremely stable and long-lasting. The solar
modules should nevertheless be left in the
packaging until installation to help prevent any
damage. The modules should be stored in a dry
place and protected from weather conditions.
The packaging (film, tape, pallet, etc.) should
be recycled. Contact the responsible local
waste disposal company.
Installation
During installation, please take into account
the locally valid construction regulations,
accident prevention regulations, the relevant,
generally accepted rules of technology and
safety regulations for working on roofs and
buildings, as well as electrical installations.
SOLARWATT solar modules must be fixed to
suitable substructures, which are designed for
the relevant mechanical wind and snow loads,
as well as the weight of the solar modules.
The instructions from the installation system
manufacturer must also be complied with. No
mechanical stresses from the actual building
(e.g., roof truss) must be transferred to the solar
module. Have the structural suitability of the
building for the installation of a solar power
system checked by a specialist. The frame must
not be mechanically or chemically processed.
Do not remove any parts or nameplates from the solar module. Do not install damaged
solar modules.
NOTE
Also not allowed are modifications of the solar
module, such as the conversion to the use of
the heat generated in the form of a thermal so-
lar collector. If there is no approval in the form
of a manufacturer‘s declaration or exceptional
approval, the solar modules may not be in-
stalled in locations where there are aggressive
ambient conditions. Furthermore, the use of
the products on mobile units such as vehicles
or ships is not permitted.
During installation, avoid creating shades with
the module clips or installation system to
improve the energy yield.
Comply with the minimum distance of 5 mm
between the solar modules to allow the mate-
rial to expand without tension.
