PV MODULES AND WIRING CANNOT INTERACT WITH METAL FLASHINGS
Once energized, all components of the Solarglass photovoltaic DC circuit, including PV Modules, the
Diode Trunk Harness, all conductors and the Pass Through Box, must remain in isolation from metal
flashings. The PV array must be buffered by non-energy generating Roofing Tiles, which are designated
in the project plan set.
Never locate PV Modules at true edge conditions, such as in first row at the eave or in the top two rows
at the ridge.
Never locate PV Modules on the mounting plane where they may contact transition, headwall,
obstruction or valley flashings.
A PV Module may experience conditions that produce more current and/or voltage than reported at
standard test conditions. Follow the requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in Article 690
to address these increased outputs. In installations not under the requirements of the NEC, multiply
the values of Isc and Voc marked on the Solarglass PV Modules by a factor of 1.25 when determining
component voltage ratings, conductor ampacities, overcurrent device ratings, and size of controls
connected to the PV output.
