INSTALLATION
General rules for installation
For correct installation of the photovoltaic module, it is necessary to follow these guidelines.
•
A photovoltaic module generates electricity when exposed to sunlight; it is
advisable to fully cover the surface of the front side with a dark opaque material
to block sunlight during installation or removal.
•
During operation, the module tends to heat up (because of both the effect of
solar radiation and the physical phenomenon of photovoltaic action). To improve
the performance of the module, it is therefore important to facilitate the dispersal
of heat. Fastening the module to thermally insulating materials is not
recommended because it would impede the dispersal of heat.
•
If the support chosen for the installation site is metallic (and therefore conducts
electricity), when installing, be careful to avoid any contact between the metallic
material and the electrical terminals of the module.
•
During installation, be careful to comply with safety regulations and general
instructions.
•
Installation should only be undertaken in dry conditions, keeping the photovoltaic
module and all tools dry and adequately insulated.
•
Do not install the photovoltaic module in the vicinity of flammable gases or vapors.
•
Choose an installation location which is exposed to direct sunlight as much as
possible; avoid shaded areas.
•
In the event that the cables need to be extended (e.g., to connect the module to
a charge regulator), the electrical conductor section of the extension cord should
be large enough to avoid excessive voltage drops with relative loss of power.
Orientation
In general the best energy performance of the module can be approximately obtained by
installing the device:
•
facing south;
•
at an inclination equal to the latitude from the horizontal.
Installing the module at non-
optimal inclination and orientation lead to reduce the module’s
power output.
