Winter
When mounting a module it is essential to ensure that the water drainage openings on the rear side of
the frame are not covered, in order to avoid damage from frost. The solar installation should be mounted
such that as little snow as possible can remain on the modules. Solar modules from WINAICO are certified for
snow loads up to 5400 Pa.

Mounting and installation
ATTENTION:
Risk of fire if module components are damaged!
Only install undamaged solar modules.
Before the installation ensure that the junction box, cables and connectors are undamaged.
Never open the junction box chassis.
Safety precautions
Store the modules safely in cool and dry rooms. The packaging is not weather-proof!
Incorporate the installation in the existing lightning protection system in line with local requirements.
WINAICO recommends only mounting and installing the system in dry weather.
Observe the relevant accident prevention regulations.
Do not carry out installation work in high winds.
Secure yourself and other persons against falling.
Prevent the possibility of falling objects.
Secure the work area so that no other persons can be injured. Keep children away from the installation site.
All parts of the module should be protected from mechanical stress (e.g. caused by pressure, tension, torsional
stress) during transport and installation. Ensure that the radius doesn't fall below the minimum permissible
bend radius of 60 mm for cables at the junction box output either during installation or system operation.
Do not damage, pull, bend, or place heavy material on cables.
Fire protection
The installation of on-roof systems can affect the fire safety of a building; improper installations can be a fire hazard. In
the case of on-roof applications, the WINAICO modules must be mounted above a fire-resistant surface.
The module is “non-explosion-protected equipment”. The use of improper installation methods and/or defective parts
may result in the unexpected occurrence of an electrical arc during operation. Therefore, it may not be installed near
highly flammable gases and vapors (e.g. filling stations, gas tanks or paint spraying systems). The module may not be
installed adjacent to naked flames or flammable materials.
