1. Before installation, keep all modules and electrical contacts clean and dry.
2. If it is necessary to store modules temporarily, a dry, ventilated room should be used.
3. When unpacking, carry modules with both hands. Do not place modules on top of each other.
4. The double glass module should be handled carefully, so non-slip gloves are required for handling and
installation.
5. Please use the appropriate removal tools when dismantling the plywood cases.
4. PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
We recommend that you take note of the unique serial number on each module.
5. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND SITE SELECTION
5.1
CLIMATE CONDITION
Install Trina Solar Crystalline series modules in the following conditions:
Operating temperature: -40°C to +85°C
Storage temperature: -20°C to +50°C
Humidity: below 85RH%
Altitude: ≤2000m
Mechanical Load Pressure: 5400Pa (245 Kg/m²) Max from the front side 2400Pa from the
rear.
* Mechanical load bearing specifications of the module is based on Trina Solar mounting methods. A
professional system installer must be responsible for the mechanical load calculations based on the specific
system design.
*The modules have been evaluated by TUV according to IEC61215 for a maximum positive design loading
of below 3600Pa, and negative design loading 1600Pa, with 1.5 times safety factor
5.2
SITE SELECTION
1.
In most applications, Trina Solar PV modules should be installed in a location where they will receive
maximum sunlight throughout the year.
2.
Modules should not be shaded by buildings, trees, chimney, etc. at any time of the day.
3.
Do not install in corrosive environments, such as beaches or landfill that can be easily flooded.
4.
Do not install PV modules in a location where modules could be immersed in water or continually exposed
to water from a sprinkler or fountain.
5.
Do not install PV modules over naked flames or flammable materials.
6.
Interspaces, the clearance between the module edge and surface of the wall or roof, of at least 115mm is
required to prevent wiring damage and to allow air to circulate behind the module.
6.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The module is considered to be in compliance with IEC only when the module is mounted in the manner
specified by the mounting instructions below. This mounting is using Trina Clamps or Screws, alternate
mountings are available.
