•
If you want to employ mounting methods that are not described in the drawing, please
contact IBC SOLAR AG for permission to do so. Otherwise, the warranty and the module
certification are no longer valid.
•
In addition to the instructions contained in the installation manual, always observe the
installation instructions of the mounting frame manufacturer. In case the instructions of the
mounting frame manufacturer are stricter as those contained in the installation manual, the
manufacturer instructions take precedence.
•
In case the maximum permissible load specified by the mounting frame manufacturer is less
than the value specified in the installation manual, the maximum load specification of the
mounting frame manufacturer is binding.
•
Make sure that the modules are not subjected to loads exceeding the maximum load
caused by wind and snow and that they are not exposed to excessive forces due to the
thermal expansion of the supporting structure.
•
The maximum loads apply to uniformly distributed loads caused by wind or snow. Avoid
mounting the modules in areas prone to drifting snow or icicle and glacier formation.
Possibly occurring drifting snow loads forces have to be identified separately. If necessary,
steps should be taken to avoid damages. Please refer to the IBC reference sheet
"Instructions for increased snow loads."
•
In order to take into account the thermal linear expansion of the module frame the distance
between 2 modules should be 20 mm. However, it has to be at least 10 mm.
•
For mounting with clamps the surface pressure shall be 8.5 – 9.5 N/mm². The Clamp area
surface (clamp depth x clamp width) should be
≥
400 mm². We recommend using clamps
with 80mm x 8mm bearing surface (IBC mounting clamp). The screw for the clamps (M8
A2-70) should be fixed with 15 Nm. Any damages of the modules have to be avoided and it
must be secured that the connection between clamp and module is sufficient.
Operation and maintenance
•
The modules do not require regular maintenance. However, we recommend regularly
checking the modules for damage to the glass surface, the rear film, the frame, the junction
box, and the outer electrical connections.
•
The electrical connections should be checked for loose connections and rusting.
•
PV modules operate efficiently even when they are never cleaned. Nevertheless, removing
contamination on the glass surface increases the output power.
•
Dust, dirt, or other residues on the coated glass surface can be regularly washed off or
rinsed off using water.
•
Persistent dirt deposits on the coated glass can be removed using a microfiber cloth and
ethanol or using a standard glass cleaner.
•
The coated glass surface must never be treated with aggressive and abrasive cleaning
agents or chemicals. Only use pH-neutral cleaning agents.
•
Always wear rubber gloves when maintaining, washing, or cleaning the modules to insulate
and protect yourself against electrical shocks.
