1 Safety first!
Follow the setup instructions!
Safe handling and trouble-free operation of the Sun-
ways Solar Modules requires knowledge of the basic
safety precautions.
This setup document provides an overview of the
safe installation and commissioning procedures for
Sunways Solar Modules.
In addition, the rules and regulations for accident
prevention applicable for the operating site/plant
must be observed.
Danger of death through electric
Touching live parts can result in death.
All electrical work on the solar generator must be
carried out by a qualified electrician while observing
the VDE regulations, national and other regulations.
Due to the series connection of the modules, voltage
levels may exceed the protective extra-low voltage.
Even with low solar radiation almost the full open-
circuit voltage can be expected in the modules.
During all installation and wiring work the modules
must therefore be covered or disconnected from
the consumer load. Otherwise there is a risk of arc
formation on lines carrying direct current.
Suitable fall protection must be used when working
on roof-mounted solar generators.
The standard solar module is a glass/film product and
must not be walked on due to the risk of breakage.
Protect the front and rear of the solar modules from
scratching.
2 Your Solar Modules
Your Sunways Solar Modules consist of the following
components. Only the details relevant for the instal-
lation at the front and rear are sh
3 Installation
3.1 Orientation
Ideally, the front of the solar modules should face
due south.
The tilt angle can be calculated as follows.
The ideal tilt angle corresponds to the latitude of the
installation site minus 20°.
To achieve a good self-cleaning effect through pre-
cipitation the tilt angle of the solar modules should
be at least 20°.
