Under normal conditions, a photovoltaic eArche is likely to experience conditions that produce more 

current  and/or  voltage  than  reported  at  standard test  conditions.  Accordingly, the  values  of  Isc and 

Voc  marked  on  this  eArche  should  be  multiplied  by  a  factor  of  1.25  when  determining  component 

voltage ratings, conductor current ratings, fuse sizes, and size of controls connected to the PV output.   

 

Only use same or connectable connectors to connect eArche to form a string, or connect to another 

device. Removing the connectors will void the warranty. 

 
 

Fire safety 

 

Consult your local authority for guidelines and requirements for building or structural fire safety. 

 

Roof constructions and installations may affect the fire safety of a building; improper installation may 

create hazards in the event of a fire. 

 

Use components such as ground fault circuit breakers and fuses as required by local authority. 

 

Do not use panels near equipment or in places where flammable gases may be generated. 

 

eArche have been rated Fire Class C, and are suitable for mounting on to a Class A roof. 

 
 

Production Identification 

Each eArche has two labels providing the following information: 

 

Nameplate: describes the product type; rated power, rated current, rated voltage, open circuit voltage, 

short  circuit  current,  all  as  measured  under  standard  test  conditions;  weight,  dimensions  etc.;  the 

maximum system voltage is 1000 volts. 

 

Barcode: each individual eArche has a unique serial number. The serial number has 18 digits. The 1th 

to 4th digits are the module type for internal use, and the 5th and the 6th digits are the year code, 

and the 7th and 8th digits are the month and the 9th and the 10th digits are the week code, and the 

11th and the 15th digits are order number, and the 16th and the 18th digits are the sequence codes. 

For  example,  XXXX160417XXXXXXXX  means  the  module  was  made  in  the  17th  week  of  2016.  Each 

module has only one bar code. It is permanently attached to the interior of eArche and is visible from 

the top front of eArche. This bar code is inserted prior to lamination. 

 

 
 

Mechanical Installation 

Selecting the location 

 

Select a suitable location for installing eArche. 

 

eArche should face south in northern latitudes and north in southern latitudes.
