2.4 Fire safety
AEG PV modules are tested according to the provisions
of IEC EN 61730 Directive with Application Class A. Fire
safety has been rated as Class C.
!
Please be aware that rooftop installations can
affect the fire safety of a building. Rooftop
installations should be placed over fire resistant
roofs only; fire class A is recommended. Only fire-
resistant components should be used for rooftop
installations.
Do not install the solar panels in the proximity of
sources of flammable gases and vapors or open flames.
3. INSTALLATION
3.1 General remarks
AEG PV modules should be installed in a location
where they can receive the maximum amount
of sunlight throughout the year. In the Northern
Hemisphere modules should face south, while in the
Southern Hemisphere they should face north. The
modules should not be shaded at any time by trees,
antennas, cables, houses etc. If a module is shaded
or even partially shaded, it will fail to perform at ideal
conditions and this will result in lower power outputs.
AEG PV modules connected in series should be
installed at the same orientation and tilt angle. Different
orientations or angles may cause a loss of power
output due to the change in sunlight exposure. Dust
building up on the surface of the modules can impair
module performance. Solar Solutions recommends
installing the modules with a tilt angle of at least 10
degrees, making it easier for dust to be washed off by
rain. When designing the final layout of the modules in
a photovoltaic system, keep suitable access space to
allow easy maintenance and inspection works. Provide
adequate ventilation under the modules for cooling.
Always use structures and materials specifically
developed and certified for photovoltaic module
installation.
AEG PV modules must be installed and stored in the
following conditions:
Operating temperature
From -40°C to +85°C
Extreme weather cond.
From -30°C to +50°C
Storage temperature
Up to 30°C
Humidity
Below 85% R.H.
!
Do not carry out the installation in high winds
and prevent the falling of objects from the roof.
Secure the work area so that nobody on or
beneath the roof can be injured.
When installing a module on a roof or building, please
ensure that it is securely fastened and cannot fall as a
result of wind or snow loads.
The modules should not be immersed in liquid.
Corrosion risk incurs if the module is exposed to salt
(i.e. marine environments) or sulfur sources. The
installation distance of the modules to sea water
or lakes should therefore be at least 500 m unless
otherwise specified. The module should not be exposed
to unusual chemical loads. For fire safety indications,
please see 2.4 “Fire safety”.
Protect the solar modules from overvoltage, e.g.
voltage peaks of battery charges, generators, etc. If the
module has to be connected to a storage battery, all
precautions as prescribed by the battery manufacturer
should be taken into account
3.2 Mechanical installation
AEG PV modules can be installed in either landscape
or portrait orientation. Please consider the details
for individual module types as laid out in the next
paragraphs. In choosing the orientation, please
keep in mind the internal PV module bypass diode
configuration to ensure the optimum electrical behavior
from any potential shading over the module. Ensure
modules are not subjected to wind or snow loads
